Hanford completes wastewater basin work to support tank waste treatment
Record-breaking heat and the vast size of the job did not stop the Department of Energy’s Office of River Protection and its tank operations contractor, Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), from completing a construction project critical to the Hanford Site’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste program for treating radioactive tank waste.

Propagation behavior of 3–4 kHz electron density fluctuation in the core and edge regions was investigated in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror device. Frequency analysis was employed for high spatiotemporal-resolution fluctuations measured by gold neutral beam probe (GNBP) in the central cell and Langmuir probes in the end region. We found same-frequency periodic fluctuations in both signals and applied the correlation analysis technique. By considering the geometry of the measurement system, propagation speeds of the periodic fluctuation along and across the magnetic field lines were estimated.
