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 of (n,p) and (n,np +pn + d) reactions have been measured at neutron energies near 14 MeV for 46,47,48,50Ti, 52,53Cr, 54,56,57,58 Fe, 59 Co, 50,60,61,62Ni, and 64,66,67,68Zn by means of the activation technique relative to the well-known 27Al(n,p)27Mg or 27Al (n,α) 24Na reaction cross sections. The samples are made of natural elements mixed with aluminum oxide (Al2O3), both in powder form. Gamma rays emitted by the residual radioactive nuclei are detected with a Ge(Li) detector in close contact with the sample. The data are compared with recently measured and calculated cross sections.
