DOE Branded SRS Press Release Thumbnail
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) today announced the decision to restart HB-Line operations at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. Restarting HB-Line provides the capability to power America’s nuclear future by recycling surplus plutonium and partnering with industry to produce uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for advanced nuclear reactors. The facility is an integral part of H-Canyon, the only chemical separations facility of its kind in the United States.
OREM worked with EPA and TDEC to confirm half of the acreage on the Oak Ridge Reservation was not impacted by previous operations and does not require cleanup. This clarification provides transparency about the condition of the land and supports reuse.
