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 dynamic simulation has been developed for the ITER fuel cycle including vacuum pumping, fuel processing, fueling, pellet injection, tritium breeding blanket detritiation, fuel purification and isotope separation. The dynamic simulation model is used for calculating the unsteady-state flow of materials through the various fuel processing systems. Since many of the systems have substantial hold-up times, and the ITER reactor burn and dwell cycle is periodic, a steady state model cannot provide a complete picture of system behavior. The dynamic model allows assessment of flowrates and minimum and maximum inventories under a wide range of dynamic conditions. This information is necessary for proper specification of system design requirements.
