This panel will discuss the vital role of DOE’s HALEU Allocation Process in enabling advanced reactor demonstrations. Panelists from government, industry, and national laboratories will highlight key milestones achieved under the program, lessons learned, and the importance of HALEU in advancing next-generation reactors and strengthening energy security. The session will also examine HALEU recovery efforts across the national laboratory complex, DOE’s approach to material distribution, and its subsequent use in criticality experiments and reactor demonstration projects.
