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.
International High Level Radioactive Waste Management (IHLRWM 2025)
Corinne Bauer has over 25 years of experience into the French HLW and IL– LLW Deep Geological Repository, Cigéo.
Since 2023, she holds the position of deputy director of the Cigéo program.
Her experience, based on successive positions at Andra, the French national radioactive waste management agency, as geotechnical researcher at Bure URL, lead engineer in charge of phenomenological analysis and performance evaluation, engineer in charge of the design of the underground installations and later manager of the technical-economic coordination with the waste producers-financers, gave her natural leadership in the project final phase of optimization and licence application preparation and instruction. Currently, in view of obtaining the authorization to create Cigéo, Corinne's missions are focused on preparing its realization.
