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 new technique, Abel inversion for toroidal coordinates, is presented for calculating spatial distributions of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma density from observation beam incidents in the toroidal y direction. In this numerical method, inversion matrix elements are calculated analytically, and their usefulness is examined by using a hypothetical data set of beam intensity with asymmetry for the normal direction to the direction of observation, which results in a valid local plasma density. The asymmetrical character associates with fundamental fixed length dfor the toroidal coordinates.
