HALEU investment is key part of TerraPower’s demo proposal
TerraPower announced on September 15 that it plans to work with Centrus Energy to establish commercial-scale production facilities for the high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) needed to fuel many advanced reactor designs.
The proposed investment in HALEU fuel fabrication is tied to a TerraPower-led submittal to the Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), which was created to support the deployment of two first-of-a-kind advanced reactor designs within five to seven years. TerraPower would like one of those designs to be Natrium, the 345-MWe sodium fast reactor that it has developed with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy.

Description
This revised edition spells out a systematic mathematical approach to nuclear statics that is used as the basis for most practical calculations. A good understanding of the way nuclear reactors are described in mathematical theory is important in performing typical nuclear engineering tasks such as defining reactor problems, evaluating the results, and judging possible deficiencies in approaches. Recommended as a textbook and also useful as a source book for reactor analysis and design, this book presents the mathematical foundation for the advanced treatment of the steady-state behavior of all types of nuclear reactors. Each chapter concludes with homework problems and review questions.
