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 Scale Method was applied for analysis of experimental and theoretical prompt fission neutron spectra (PFNSs). This approach allowed us to demonstrate evidence from several experiments that had not been discussed before. The comparison of experimental and calculated data; the analysis of experimental PFNSs from neutron-induced fission reactions for 232Th, 233U, 235U, 238U, 237Np, and 239Pu; and the analysis of spontaneous fission for 242Pu, 246Cm, 248Cm, and 252Cf gave new results that may change our understanding of the neutron emission mechanism.
