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.

In this special event, ANS Executive Director/CEO Craig Piercy conducted a one-on-one interview with Jigar Shah, Director of the DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO).
Shah detailed the Biden administration's ambitious goals to decarbonize the power sector by 2035, which were highlighted in Shah’s article in the November issue of Nuclear News. He also discussed how nuclear can be an important part of the decarbonized energy mix in the U.S. and how he believes the LPO can support the administration’s target.
