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.
2022 ANS Annual Meeting
Dr. Scott Hsu is Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of Energy for Science and Innovation and DOE Lead Fusion Coordinator for a crosscutting “all-of-DOE” effort to accelerate fusion energy RD&D. Scott is concluding his tenure as a Program Director at ARPA-E, where he launched the BETHE and GAMOW fusion programs. Prior to ARPA-E, Scott was a plasma and fusion research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Scott testified to the Energy Subcommittee of the House Science Committee in 2016 on innovative fusion concept development, is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), and a co-recipient of the 2002 APS Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research. Scott earned a Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences (Program in Plasma Physics) from Princeton University and a B.S summa cum laude in Electrical Engineering from UCLA.
