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.

The solution of transport problems in semi-infinite media when the scattering function is an N'th-order polynomial is considered. Case's singular eigenfunction expansion is used to obtain a compact solution of Milne's problem in the nonconservative case in terms of an appropriate X function. The coefficients of the M + 1 discrete eigenfunctions are found by solving a nonhomogeneous set of N + M + 1 algebraic linear equations. The coefficient of the continuum of eigenfunctions and the emergent flux are at last reported.
