Darleane C. Hoffman, transuranium element pioneer, dies at age 98
Nuclear chemist Darleane D. Hoffman, who was renowned for her research on transuranium elements that advanced the understanding of nuclear fission, died on September 4 at her home in Menlo Park, Calif. She was 98.
Iowa origins: Hoffman was born on November 8, 1926, in Terril, Ia. She attended Iowa State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1948 and a doctorate in physical (or nuclear) chemistry in 1951. She then began working as a chemist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The author is developing a numerical calculation code to support the design of the air clean-up system based on catalytic oxidation and adsorption. This time, the author developed a numerical computation code that predicts the tritium behavior in large rooms based on the flow field. With this numerical calculation code, the behavior of tritium accidentally released was predicted. The results of calculation indicate the importance of the consideration of flow field for the accurate prediction of tritium behavior.
