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.

Radiation damage will be a major key point in the design of the many duplex components in fusion reactors. There is a substantial amount of available data showing that stress plays a major role in die onset, and possibly the rate, of void growth in austenitic stainless steels. There is also a strong support for models which predict a coupling of swelling and creep through the stress environment A parametric study for the stress-enhanced swelling and its connection to creep is conducted for a typical fusion power demonstration reactor.
