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 parameterized formulas of isomeric cross-section ratios, including two adjustable parameters for (n,2n), (n,p), (n, α) reactions at 14.5 MeV, have been derived with some approximations based on the Hauser-Feshbach theory. By fitting these formulas to available data, these parameters have been extracted, and the systematics behavior of the isomeric cross-section ratios has been studied. More accurate and reasonable predictions than before were obtained by using these parameters and the systematics formulas.
