Project Omega and INL to further investigate UNF recycling with ARPA-E award
Nuclear technology start-up Project Omega announced that it has been awarded a contract through the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to advance used nuclear fuel recycling. Project Omega said the award will be used to validate key components of its molten salt electrochemical recycling platform designed to process UNF, recover valuable isotopes, and reduce long-term waste management challenges.

Heat flows emanating from the end mirror cell of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror during electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) are measured with infrared cameras. From simultaneous measurement of heat flows along and across field lines, 70 % of microwave energy absorbed by electrons is detected as heat losses to in-vessel materials. Nearly equal amount of axial and radial energy losses are observed under the operation of fundamental ECRH only. On the other hand, second harmonic ECRH produces a much larger radial heat flux than fundamental ECRH.
