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.

Light charged particles (LCP) and fission elements formed in ternary fission of 252Cf have been investigated. The energy spectra of light particles, alphas, and protons were studied using a ΔE × (E + ΔE) particle-identifying telescope apparatus. A coincidence circuit was used in such a way that the K x rays from the ternary fission fragments were electronically gated by a designated LCP and then stored in a multichannel analyzer. The K x rays were analyzed using a high-resolution lithium-drifted silicon spectrometer, permitting accurate identification of the elements in the charge distribution of fission fragments. Experimental results indicate the influence of the odd-even effect and also of shape deformation of alpha-accompanied ternary fission.
