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.

The Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM), a Krylov subspace iterative method, applied to k-eigenvalue calculations for criticality problems in deterministic transport codes is discussed. A computationally efficient alternative to the power iteration method that is typically used for such problems, the IRAM not only finds the largest eigenvalue but also several additional higher order eigenvectors with little extra computational cost. Implementation requires only modest changes to existing power iteration coding present in an SN transport program. Numerical results are presented for three-dimensional SN transport on unstructured tetrahedral meshes to compare the IRAM results with those computed using the traditional, unaccelerated power iteration method. The results indicate that the IRAM can be an efficient and powerful technique, especially for problems with dominance ratios approaching unity.
