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.

Epithermal neutron capture and transmission measurements were performed using the time-of-flight method at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute linac using metallic Nb samples. The capture measurements were made at the 25-m flight station with a 16-section sodium iodide multiplicity detector and the transmission measurements at the 25-m flight station with a 6Li glass scintillation detector. Resonance parameters were determined for all resonances up to 500 eV with a combined analysis of capture and transmission data using the multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY. The results are compared to those presented in ENDF/B-VI, updated through Release 3.
