      NRC moves ahead on HALEU enrichment, rulemaking, and guidance

      The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is requesting comments on the regulatory basis for a proposed rule for light water reactor fuel designs featuring high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), including accident tolerant fuel (ATF) designs, and on draft guidance for the environmental evaluation of ATFs containing uranium enriched up to 8 percent U-235. Some of the HALEU feedstock for those LWR fuels and for advanced reactor fuels could be produced within the first Category II fuel facility licensed by the NRC—Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. On September 21, the NRC approved the start of enrichment operations in the plant’s modest 16-machine HALEU demonstration cascade.

ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on National Labs

Brookhaven National Laboratory

March 10, 2021|12:00–1:30PM (1:00–2:30PM EST)

All UsersAvailable to All Users



Brookhaven National Laboratory delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation’s future. One of 10 national labs primarily supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, Brookhaven Lab is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 37 R&D 100 Awards, and nearly 75 years of pioneering research.

Through Brookhaven Lab’s long history in nuclear science and technology, we recognize the important role nuclear energy plays in providing reliable, carbon-free electricity and are committed to research that will continue to advance the field. The National Nuclear Data Center hosted at Brookhaven manages a set of nuclear data libraries—obtained over more than 100 years of nuclear physics research—that are an important resource for basic nuclear research and the development of nuclear technologies. In addition, the Materials in Radiation Environments Beamline project at Brookhaven’s National Synchrotron Light Source II will support the nuclear materials community’s efforts to study and improve the performance of materials used in nuclear reactors by gaining a better understanding of how these materials react under the harsh conditions they encounter.

Brookhaven’s nuclear research extends into other areas, including the Medical Isotope Research & Production program—one of just a few facilities in the U.S. that can produce critical medical isotopes not commercially available for the diagnosis, tracking, and treatment of cancer and other diseases. In addition, the Lab’s Nonproliferation and National Security Department (NNSD) contributes to U.S. nuclear security and safeguards efforts by assisting in the development, analysis, and assessment of policies that strengthen international regimes, collecting and analyzing data to identify trends and threats to the U.S. and international communities, and developing and implementing new technologies to address existing and emerging threats. Through training and engagement programs, NNSD also strengthens the domestic and international institutions that form the framework of the nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear security regimes.
