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.

Block I1 is the innermost group of Poloidal Field coils of the RFX machine. It is constituted by 6 Ohmic Heating coils and two Field Shaping coils moulded in one piece. These coils are made of copper conductors insulated with fibreglass and Kapton and impregnated with epoxy resin. During acceptance tests, the inter-turn insulation of a Field Shaping coil failed. The paper describes first the design of the coil in relation to its nominal working conditions, then it reports on the test conditions and the experimental results and gives an interpretation of the results.
