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.

If a beam-driven deuterium-tritium tokamak reactor is operated at the maximum density allowed by both pressure limitation and adequate neutral-beam penetration, the 14-MeV neutron wall loading increases approximately linearly with magnetic field or vertical elongation of the plasma. With elongation = 3, Btmax - 15 T (at the coil windings), Wbeam = 200 keV, and Q = 1.0, the maximum wall loading is ∼5 MW/m2.
