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 new experimental technique has been developed for dynamically measuring the thermomechanical properties of fissile materials. The speed of sound, modulus of elasticity, and coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of temperature for uranium alloys can be determined using the heating conditions that exist in a fast pulsed reactor. The technique was developed to provide thermomechanical property data for pulse reactor fuels under actual use conditions.
