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.

Time-dependent integral transport equation single-collision kernels for one-dimensional geometries corresponding to the steady-state single-collision kernels found in the available literature have been calculated by making use of the Laplace transform technique, simple geometric transformation relationships, and point kernel integrations. Using the convolution theorem, the time-dependent scalar flux is obtained by convoluting the single-collision kernel with the time-dependent source. Using the multiple collision formulation of the integral transport solution, isotropic sources that are delta distributions in time are considered in several examples. Analytical solutions for the uncollided and first-collided scalar fluxes are obtained for a boundary source having an isotropic angular distribution directed into a semi-infinite medium and into a slab of thickness b and for a point source at the origin of an infinite medium and finite sphere of radius a. A closed form solution is obtained for the simple problem of uniformly distributed sources within an infinite medium.
