Direct waste transfer process quickens at Savannah River Site
The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management’s liquid waste contractor at the Savannah River Site this month marked the first direct transfer of decontaminated waste from the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) to the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF). This is a new step in optimizing waste processing, according to the DOE.

We proposed a flexible electron density measurement system based on the interferometer for confinement study. An INRD guide antenna for spatial scan capability of a probe beam has been analytically designed. As a result of fabricating and evaluating the antenna, it was confirmed that the antenna has a predicted performance. We also evaluated the analysis method of a sampled data with numerical simulation in order to calculate phase shift due to the plasma density. A 3000 order FIR filter could successfully separate a sample signal with various frequencies into a signal with a single frequency when S/N is not critical.
