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.

By means of a time-of-flight experiment, the high-energy part of the 252Cf fission neutron spectrum is investigated with excellent shielding against cosmic radiation. Data analysis was performed with four different bias settings and results in the 9- to 29-MeV energy range were obtained. Small deviations from the Maxwellian shape (T = 1.42 MeV) were found; however, no indication of any neutron excess above 20 MeV was found.
