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.

The six identical steam generator units for the 300-MW(e) Thorium High-Temperature Reactor in Germany deliver both main and reheat steam at conditions similar to fossil-fired plants. Typical design characteristics are the once-through principle and the helical tube arrangement. Combining this with downhill boiling results in a simple design. Materials have been selected considering operation, fabrication, and conformity with codes of different countries. Some special manufacturing operations are the automated welding techniques, coiling and bending, forging, and the extensive quality control effort. The techniques developed can be applied to future plants without excessive modifications.
