Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission lead Darío Gil participated in a session at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference on March 17 that coincided with the announcement of the DOE’s $293 million Genesis Mission request for applications, which invites interdisciplinary teams to submit ideas for projects addressing over 20 of Genesis’s stated national challenges, several of which focus on accelerating nuclear research and nuclear energy output.
“We seek breakthrough ideas and novel collaborations leveraging the scientific prowess of our national laboratories, the private sector, universities, and science philanthropies,” said Gil.

Assessment of a high-throughput electrorefiner for a spent metallic fuel was carried out by using a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, CFX, and its performance was validated experimentally with a surrogate material. An electrorefiner equipped with a graphite cathode bundle was designed to continuously recover a high-purity uranium product without a noble metal contamination. The performance of the process for a decontamination of a noble metal in a uranium product was evaluated numerically as a function of the process parameters such as the rotation speed of the stirrer and the anode basket, and was validated experimentally. The distributions of the electric field and the electrodeposition behavior were also evaluated numerically, and an optimum electrode configuration was suggested.
