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.

Multigroup cross sections (66 neutron groups and 21 gamma-ray groups) are described for neutron energies from thermal to 400 MeV. The elements considered are hydrogen, 10B, 11B, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, potassium, calcium, chromium, iron, nickel, tungsten, and lead. These cross sections are available from the Radiation Shielding Information Center of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
