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.

Linear-elastic fracture mechanics techniques were employed to characterize the crack growth behavior of SA-351 Grade CF8 cast stainless steel over the temperature range 75 to 1200°F (24 to 649° C). In general, crack growth rates increased with increasing test temperature. The crack growth rates in the cast material generally fell within or below the scatter bands for wrought Types 304 and 316 material tested under similar conditions, implying that data obtained on wrought material would likely yield conservative results for crack growth analyses on cast structures.
