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.

Validation of neutron fluence on VVER-440 pressure vessel methodology is performed by comparative analysis of calculational compared with experimental results for the induced activity of scraps taken out from the inner surface of the VVER reactor pressure vessel after the 14th and 17th cycles. The mean deviation of 9% between the experimental and the calculated activity values is evaluated. The good consistency of the results demonstrates the validity of the neutron fluence calculational methodology.
