WIPP’s SSCVS: A breath of fresh air
This spring, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced that it had achieved a major milestone by completing commissioning of the Safety Significant Confinement Ventilation System (SSCVS) facility—a new, state-of-the-art, large-scale ventilation system at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the DOE’s geologic repository for defense-related transuranic (TRU) waste in New Mexico.

Neutron scattering cross sections were measured for 14N and 9Be at incident neutron energies of 11, 14, and 17 MeV using time-of-flight methods. Angular distributions for 14N and 9Be elastic scattering and 9Be inelastic scattering to the 2.429-MeV excited state were obtained between 20 and 160 deg in 5-deg increments. The data were corrected for finite geometry effects using a Monte Carlo simulation code. Legendre polynomial coefficients deduced by fitting the experimental data are tabulated. The results of a spherical optical model analysis for the 14N data are reported. Coulomb correction terms are obtained from a comparison of neutron and proton elastic scattering data for 14N.
