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.

A new uncertainty analysis method based on the generalized bias operator method is presented. The new method can be used for those cases in which the other uncertainty analysis methods cannot be applied, due to the lack of or the incomplete knowledge about the input parameter's uncertainties, or due to an inadequate model. The method presented can be applied in those cases in which at least one of the system's responses is measured and the accuracy of the measurements is better than the deviation between the measured and the calculated value obtained. The theory of the method is presented, as well as methods to obtain the special sensitivity matrices associated with the method.
