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.

A cold fuel assay method has been developed for nondestructive burnup determination by gamma-ray spectroscopy. This method utilizes the product of neutron flux and time as one variable to avoid tedious treatment of neutron flux, resident time, and intermittent type of iteration. No chemical or mass spectroscopic analysis is needed; only the photopeak of 137Cs needs to be analyzed. The method has been applied to fuel element No. 25 of the Tsin-Hua open-pool reactor for burnup calculation. A 35-cm3 Ge(Li) detector connected to a 1024 MCA was used.
