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 results obtained in Part I of this paper are compared with experimental intracell foil activation measurements. The computed neutron density distributions in D2O and graphite moderated lattices are in good agreement with the measured distributions. A systematic discrepancy between computed and measured neutron density distributions in water lattices is observed. This discrepancy is probably caused by the inadequacy of the gas model to describe slow neutron scattering from water.
