UNC, GE agree to clean up former New Mexico uranium mine
The United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) and General Electric Company will undertake a nearly $63 million, decade-long cleanup project at the former Northeast Church Rock Mine in northwestern New Mexico under a consent decree with the United States, the Navajo Nation, and the state of New Mexico.

This report summarizes the results of experimental investigations on the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) obtained during the last five years. Due to essential upgrade of the GDT facility performed during this period, the following plasma parameters were obtained: electron temperature-90-110 eV, fast ion density (mean energy — 5–8 keV) — up to 0.8×1013cm−3, plasma β — 15–20%. The following experiments are described: study of the effect of the wall conditioning on neutral gas transport, detailed investigations of the longitudinal electron heat flux, study of confinement of the high β two-component plasma, detailed study of fast ion parameters in experiments with high β, investigations of fueling of the bulk plasma by gas puffing. The results of the experiments to be described:
