3D-printed tool at SRS makes quicker work of tank waste sampling
A 3D-printed tool has been developed at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina that can eliminate months from the job of radioactive tank waste sampling.

Eta of U233 has been measured in the energy range from 1 to 800 ev by counting fast fission neutrons in ZnS-loaded plastic scintillators; incident neutron energies were measured in a time-of-flight system with a betatron as pulsed source. The data are normalized at one electron volt to data reported at Geneva by the MTR group; the latter results were normalized to an absolute thermal value. Corrections have been made for multiple scattering by a rigorous single velocity analysis and by a Monte Carlo calculation which also accounts for energy degradations.
