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.

As part of the Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) Facility upgrade at the DIII–D National Fusion Facility, a regulated AC power supply for the filaments of a 110 GHz Gyrotron was designed, tested and integrated into the new ECH power system.1 A precision regulated filament power supply is essential for maintaining the stability of the cathode temperature and consequentially the gyrotron beam current and rf production.2 This paper provides a description of the design of the filament power supply, presentation of test results, and an assessment of its performance.
