Leading the charge: INL’s role in advancing HALEU production
Idaho National Laboratory is playing a key role in helping the U.S. Department of Energy meet near-term needs by recovering HALEU from federal inventories, providing critical support to help lay the foundation for a future commercial HALEU supply chain. INL also supports coordination of broader DOE efforts, from material recovery at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina to commercial enrichment initiatives.

An analysis of a fully developed forced and free convective magnetohydrodynamic flow between two electrically conducting vertical plates has been carried out taking into account the external circuit and the thermal conductance ratio of the plates. Derived are approximate solutions to the nonlinear integro-differential equations governing the velocity, the temperature, the skin friction, and the Nusselt number. It is observed that an increase in the thermal conductance ratio leads to both an increase in velocity and temperature.
