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 CASMO code is an assembly spectrum code that uses multigroup integral transport theory with four thermal energy groups for the two-dimensional calculation. The latest version, CASMO-3, contains several new features, specifically a new data library, multibundle capability, gamma detector calculation, flux discontinuity factor edit, and an option for generating transport theory corrected baffle/reflector data. Extensive benchmarking, including comparisons against cold- and high-temperature critical experiments, Monte Carlo calculations, measured isotopics, and power reactor core follow, has verified that accurate results are obtained. The new multibundle capability has been used for studies of interassembly spectrum coupling and for validation of core physics methods.
