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.

For the determination of fast neutron spectra, we propose a slowing down operator model whose number of terms increases with the needed accuracy without theoretical limit. This method can be used for elastic and inelastic slowing down and needs only the choice of an arbitrary fitting flux and the determination of some functions from this flux. Applications to the determinations of spectra and reaction rates are studied in various media including resonantelements. The practical interest of this method is its rapid convergence.
