DOE-EM issues draft RFP for Hanford lab work, awards WIPP monitoring grant
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management issued a draft request for proposals on June 25 for the Hanford Site’s 222-S Laboratory contract. The 222-S Laboratory is the primary on-site laboratory for analysis of highly radioactive samples in support of all projects at the DOE’s Hanford Site in Washington state.

Several experiments were performed at the Gran Sasso Laboratory on an 0.8-cm-diam × 5-cm-long, hyperpure, high-temperature vacuum-annealed palladium rod used as a cathode for electrolytic infusion of D2O and 0.1 M LiOH with regular additions of gaseous CO2 at a current density of 60 mA/cm2. In the very low background radiation environment, several gamma bursts lasting up to 15 min were detected whose intensity, in terms of cold fusion, was > 10−20 fusion/(deuteron pair · s). Under normal background conditions, none of these burst signals would have been detected with statistical significance. The shape and intensity of these signals are quite similar to those detected previously.
