Tank waste operations resume at Idaho’s IWTU
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced yesterday that waste processing operations have resumed at the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) at the Idaho National Laboratory Site. The resumption of operations follows the completion of two maintenance campaigns at the radioactive liquid waste treatment facility.

The paper presents new experimental results from the GOL-3 facility on stabilization of some beam instability modes by controlled conditions at an exit beam receiver. In the experiments the space near the beam collector in the exit expander was filled with krypton. Position and shape of the beam footprint at the exit collector was imaged using the beam bremsstrahlung. The beam shape changes were detected by a set of magnetic probes. Improvement of the beam stability due to krypton puffing was achieved. Possible mechanisms of such stabilization are discussed.
