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.

Neutral beam injection into CIT is discussed. Monte Carlo methods are used to evaluate available windows of operating density and beam energies. The beam deposition profile is determined for a wide range of parameters. The effects of the excitation enhanced ionization cross section have been studied, both with and without impurities. Enhanced ionization processes and impurities are found to prevent the penetration of 300 keV deuterium beams. Requirements for low energy beam injection are determined. In order to utilize the TFTR power supplies (300 kV maximum), it is necessary to inject hydrogen beams.
