ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

This collection of practical suggestions should prove useful to workers at tritium installations where gloveboxes and cleanup systems are used, or where upgrades to such systems are anticipated. These tips are effective approaches to meeting today's stringent containment requirements, and include many applications and extensions of accepted tritium practice, plus a few innovations of our own. The subjects covered are tritium piping systems, glovebox operations, personnel protection, tritium monitoring, and contamination control. Some specific problems arising out of recent experience are also discussed, along with some tentative solutions.
