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 polyimide membrane has a selective permeability for hydrogen gas and water vapor. A small scale experimental apparatus for reducing the tritium concentration of air was designed and fabricated at the Tritium Process Laboratory (TPL) in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Hollow filament polyimide membranes are installed in a gas separation module (Ube Industries, Ltd.). Tritium tests were performed with air containing a small amount of tritium. Experimental results showed an increase of tritium concentration in the permeant flow. This method will be applied to tritium removal systems.
