The Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) at the US Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is now fully operational, according to the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Environmental Management (EM) Office. It is now treating sodium-bearing waste entirely, which is the next step in removing remaining liquid radioactive waste from nearby Cold War-era underground tanks and closing them to protect the environment.

An electric-powered prototype of one of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Marvel microreactors has been installed at a manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania and is gearing up for testing. The non-nuclear prototype, which is a full-scale replica of microreactor, stands 12 feet tall and weighs 2,000 pounds. The installation was completed by Creative Engineers Inc (CEI).
