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.

Isotopic data obtained from the destructive analysis of UO2-6.6 wt% PuO2 rods irradiated in Core II of the Saxton reactor have been used to derive ratios of effective cross sections. Two sets of cross-section ratios, corresponding to data from regions of the core with different neutron spectra, have been developed. Selected cross-section ratios from the Saxton data were compared with those obtained from other reactors.
