Activities in Support of Commercial Production of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU)
DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement for Activities in Support of Commercial Production of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). This EIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts from activities associated with acquiring, through procurement from commercial sources, HALEU enriched to at least 19.75 and less than 20 weight percent uranium-235 (U-235) over a 10-year period of performance, and to facilitate the establishment of commercial HALEU fuel production.
