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 superconducting coil systems for ITER will consist of 24 toroidal field coils and a central solenoid operating at a field of 13 T as well as a set of 6 poloidal field coils. They will require about 1700 tonnes of Nb3Sn strand in cable-in-conduit form, about 13,000 tonnes of steel structure, and a cryoplant providing for a heat load of 110 kW at 4.5 K. Selected features of the design, the manufacturing process envisioned and of the R&D program are described.
