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 population distribution surrounding a site proposed for a nuclear power plant is an important consideration in the site selection process, and is relevant to both siting and environmental aspects of nuclear power plant siting. In addition, the reactor site criteria specified in 10 CFR Part 100 requires that the surrounding population be given consideration in the siting and design of the facility. Developing methods of analyzing the population distribution characteristics of alternative sites (as discussed in the environmental report for construction of a nuclear power plant) is necessary to arrive at a conclusion regarding the desirability of a proposed site.
