CX-033093: Enabling the near-term commercialization of an electrorefining facility to close the metal fuel cycle

The proposed action is a joint research and development (R and D) project between Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Oklo Inc, and Deep Isolation. Information obtained from this activity will be used to 1) inform a potential licensing basis for a future industrial electrorefining facility in the United States if a regulatory path for such development becomes available, and 2) the development of a final waste disposal strategy compatible with deep borehole disposal.
