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.

A friendly debate to uncover the pros, cons, challenges, and benefits of multinational versus national repositories. The panelists have been divided up into two teams to debate each type of repository and to allow the audience to direct questions to either team for a response or to both teams to debate.
