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.

An analytical solution to the diffusion of linearly distributed impurities in a solid with an evaporating surface has been derived. The diffusion profile in the slab is obtained in the form of an infinite series of exponential and error functions. From the solution, the fractional release of the impurities is determined as a function of time.
