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.

The EO calls out the national and global security implications of re-establishing the United States' role as the global leader in nuclear technology activities as well as the growing implications of artificial intelligence and defense driven energy demand increases which nuclear energy is uniquely situated to tackle.
