NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

The detritiation system using the hydrogen-oxidizing microorganism isolated from the sandy loam soil was developed, which is designed to remove HT in a gas phase. Silicone hollow-fiber-membrane tubes was used to separate gas phase and liquid phase in which microorganisms are cultured. HT in the gas phase diffuses through the tube membrane to the liquid phase, oxidized to HTO and retained in the liquid phase. Detritiation system showed rapid and complete removal of HT mixed in the room air of atmospheric H2 concentration.
