GAO report describes cleanup progress at Moab Mill Site
A new report released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office states that the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) has disposed of more than 16 million tons of radioactive and hazardous waste from the Moab Mill Site. While cleanup continues at the Cold War–era uranium ore processing site in southeastern Utah, a plan for the next phase of groundwater remediation is still needed, according to the GAO.

Analytical corrections for the effect of subcritical reactivity on /βeff, detector efficiency, and 240Pu source worth in control-rod-group worth measurements in zero-power plutonium reactor Assembly 3 have been evaluated. Calculations of each factor were performed for a number of subcritical configurations in Phases 1B and 2; the results are presented and compared to the critical reference case. An evaluation of the method is included to establish a logical and efficient procedure for determining such corrections for future assemblies, which shows that extrapolations between similar configurations can be made accurately on the basis of only one or two rod patterns.
