WIPP improves utility shaft safety, begins infrastructure project
Harrison Western Shaft Sinkers (HWSS), the company drilling a new utility shaft at the Department of Energy’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, has retained a safety culture expert following a near-miss accident in the shaft late last year. The safety expert will conduct monthly facilitated discussions with crews working on the shaft to reinforce expectations for identifying concerns regarding unsafe circumstances, according to a recent report by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB).

In the report the results are presented on design and computation of the electromagnet system of neutron yield zone for four cases: 18, 20, 22 and 25 T field strength in the optimized mirror magnet. Special optimization technique was used for optimization of the mirror magnet. For 25T field strength the neutron emission zone has maximum dimensions and parameters, but consumption power of resistive coils is 0,7÷0,5 MW. The use of an up-to-date superconductor for high field makes it possible to design the 18, 20, 22T electromagnet system made only from the superconductor.
The superconductor parameters required to achieve 25T field on the axis of the mirror magnet, made entirely from a superconductor, are presented.
