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.

Cross sections for the 17O(n,p)17N (T1/2 = 4.7 s) reaction in the energy region between 13.7 and 14.9 were measured by the activation method using the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Cross sections for the reaction obtained were 23 ± 5, 11 ± 4, and <7 mb at 14.9 ± 0.1, 14.4 ± 0.1, and 13.7 ± 0.1 MeV, respectively. This work uniquely gives the experimental partial excitation function for the ~14-MeV reaction.
