Leak-tightness test on deck for SRS mega unit
The Savannah River Site in South Carolina will begin a leak-tightness test to qualify the megavolume Saltstone Disposal Unit (SDU) 10 to store up to 33 million gallons of solidified, decontaminated salt solution produced at the site.

The cross section for the reaction 35-h Rh105 (n,γ)30-sec Rh106 has been measured using a TRIGA reactor in the pulsed mode of operation as a neutron source. The effective thermal-neutron (0 to 0.5 eV) cross section was found to be 13 300 ± 1 500 b, relative to a 36-b cross section for Co59 . The cadmium ratio was observed to be ≥ 20 in a neutron flux for which a cadmium ratio of 7 was measured for cobalt.
