ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

Monsanto Research Corporation, a Department of Energy contractor, monitors for tritium oxide as an integral part of the routine environmental surveillance program. The glycol bubbler method has been used at Mound since 1971 instead of the silica gel collection techniques used at many other DOE facilities. With the glycol bubbler method, ethylene glycol is used to collect water vapor for the HTO analysis. Data from both methods are compared and the advantages of the glycol bubbler method are presented.
