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.

The DT fusion neutron yield is calculated as a function of plasma current I for a variety of cases, assuming that the plasma temperature scales as To = Tr(I/Ir)y(ar/a)x where subscripts r denote reference values, and x and y are scaling parameters. The first-wall minor radius a is limited by the tolerable heat flux q. If β = 15 %, R = 4 m, I = 10 MA, and q = 3 MW/m2, then a = 0.43 m, and the 14 MeV neutron current at the first wall is about 1018 neutrons/m2s. a Work begun at Phillips Research Center.
