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.

On May 23, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14302, directing that the official policy of the United States government is to promote and expedite the expansion of nuclear energy technology and associated industries. The EO sets ambitious goals focused on adding new GWs to the grid through uprates and new large nuclear projects, improving nuclear fuel supply chains, and addressing national spent nuclear fuel management challenges. Understanding how companies aim to support these ambitious goals and how the transformational issues like nuclear waste management could be tackled will be paramount to potential collaborators, advocates, vendors, and others interested in the growth of nuclear energy in the United States.
