Return of the HB Line at SRS
The Department of Energy is bringing the HB Line facility at the Savannah River Site back on line to recycle surplus plutonium and produce uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for advanced reactors.
Restarting the facility will be a multiyear process and will yield opportunities for increased domestic production of isotopes with scientific and commercial value. The DOE said that once operational, the HB Line will accelerate the Office of Environmental Management’s plutonium disposition mission by 10 to 13 years while reducing the existing cost.

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
The United States has the most advanced reactor innovators in the world. New designs are being developed from microreactors (a few megawatt electric) to large gigawatt-class machines with all sizes in between. Different technologies are being explored and different applications, both commercial and non-commercial. It is truly an exciting time with developer activity and customer interest. Are you familiar with how many projects are underway? Are you familiar with the various designs or potential uses for advanced reactors? This webinar provides an overview of advanced reactors, the ongoing projects, their potential uses, and fuel cycle prospects.
