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.

Thermal analyses for the U.S. inboard and outboard shield and first wall of ITER have been performed utilizing the nuclear heating results obtained from the neutronics calculations. Several radial build configurations of the shield have been thermally analyzed. Different routes for the coolant are investigated to reduce the maximum temperature in shielding material which in turn reduces thermal expansion effects during ITER operation. The maximum thermal stresses are within the prescribed limits for the shield material at the maximum operating temperatures.
