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.

Experiments with a ballistic piston compressor were made to investigate certain thermodynamic properties of gaseous UF6. Measured gas pressures, volumes, and temperatures were analyzed with a computer program employing a numerical optimization scheme to arrive at the desired properties. The thermodynamic properties deduced include the UF6 constant volume specific heat, specific heat ratio, and the viscous coupling constant for UF6/He mixtures at temperatures up to 1500 K.
