The DOE picks six HALEU deconverters. What have we learned?
The Department of Energy announced contracts yesterday for six companies to perform high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) deconversion and to transform enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) to other chemical forms, including metal or oxide, for storage before it is fabricated into fuel for advanced reactors. It amounts to a first round of contracting. “These contracts will allow selected companies to bid on work for deconversion services,” according to the DOE’s announcement, “creating strong competition and allowing DOE to select the best fit for future work.”

Closed toed shoes are a must – we will be accessing some areas where closed toed shoes are required by procedure
Individuals must be self-ambulatory – Due to evacuation requirements inside the protected area, all personnel and guests must be self-ambulatory meaning no crutches, scooters, or wheelchairs. A cane is permissible if they feel they could manage a timely evacuation if needed (of course we have absolutely no expectation of needing such a thing!) – anyone needing these devices are of course welcome for the presentation portion of the tour and any activities inside the Owner Controlled Area.
We ask that folks declare in advance if they have any metal body parts, have recently received nuclear medical treatments or implants or wear religious or other headwear. All are perfectly acceptable; it just helps knowing in advance so we can be prepared with additional officers to get through security.
Site Size: Approximately 1,500 acres
Location: On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay near Lusby in Calvert County, Md.
