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.

In this investigation, variance measurements of the secondary electron emission current from an evacuated chamber have been performed and a formula to calculate in these experiments has been derived. The value obtained for is within 50% of obtained with a gas detector and a factor of 2 greater than calculated values. The mean track length and the Vtrack term were also calculated for this irradiation geometry, Vtrack being of the same order of magnitude as Vtrack for a sphere.
