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.

A Monte Carlo program for simulating plasma ions incident on a surface with a floating potential is presented. This program is used for calculating sputtering, backscattering, and implantation values for deuterium plasma ions incident on a carbon surface. Sputtering, backscattering, and implantation by accelerated Maxwellian, monoenergetic, and Maxwellian ions are compared at the same average incident energy. Values for accelerated Maxwellian ions are found to be significantly different from values for monoenergetic and Maxwellian ions.
