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.

Neutron measurements are conducted during heavy water electrolysis in a glass cell equipped with a palladium cathode and a platinum anode set in separate electrode compartments. The electrolysis shows neutron emission peaks at 5 h (runs 1 and 2) and at 20 h (run 3) after start-up. The neutron emission peaks were clearly detected by independent A and B 3He counter channels; the peak values exceed 3σ. The neutron emissions are confirmed to occur in bursts.
