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.

Gibbsian segregation has been observed in trinary alloy Al-Li-Mg. The experiment was carried out by means of secondary ion mass spectroscope (SIMS). The experimental results indicated that the lithium concentration on specimen surface reached approximately 100% in the specimen temperature region of 150 to 300 C. The depth profile of Li showed that there was some broadening resulting from recoil implantation by high energy Ar+ ion bombardment. When the specimen temperature exceeded the temperature range in which the lithium enrichment reached the maximum value, beryllium, impurity element in the alloy, segregated to the surface and competed with lithium. Irradiation-induced segregation for Be was also observed in the experiment.
