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.

Alternate Chair:
In the past few years, reactor thermal-hydraulic (T-H) study has advanced with the support of machine learning (ML) in many aspects, including automated experimental data analysis, data-driven prediction for important reactor thermal-fluid phenomena, and surrogate modeling and uncertainty quantification for reactor system codes. ML also showed promising potential to expand reactor T-H to a wider range of applications to better support advanced reactor deployment, such as integrated multi-physics modeling and digital twin. On the other hand, ML in T-H study has its unique challenges, from data availability and quality to model transparency and interpretability. In this panel session, experts from different institutes with a diverse background will share their experience and perspectives on ML for T-H study, including recent progresses, existing challenges and potential solutions, and future opportunities.
