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.

The IGNITEX concept proposed by Profs. Rosenbluth, Weldon and Woodson along the lines of Prof. Coppi's idea for a compact thermonuclear experiment has the potential to produce and control ignited plasmas with relative simplicity and low cost. This paper discusses the design and construction methodologies that will be adopted for the construction of some of the key components of the facility for the fusion ignition experiment IGNITEX. A master schedule in the form of a bar chart derived from a CPM network developed for the IGNITEX project is presented. The level of detail in this paper is consistent with the degree of development of the IGNITEX design to date.
