181 Ta - fast neutron evaluation [Slides]

Reliable fast-neutron evaluation can be entirely encapsulated in the reaction model and related input. Ta181 is a particularly relevant case due to extraordinary coverage of various observables by differential experiments that offer much help and relatively little headache. Differences from the similar ENDF/B-VIII evaluation include: more advanced modeling (CC OMP, MSD, MSC, decay schemes), more careful selection of models and parameters, new experimental data, and isomers. Overall, improved agreement with differential data and hints of better performance in integral testing.

MARSAME Radiological Release Report for Metal Items from TA 53, Set 20

EPC-ES has evaluated the survey results for metal items from the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) and found that the metal items described in Table 1 of this report (identified by RP Tracking Numbers) meet the criteria for unrestricted release under DOE Order 458.1 Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment (DOE 2020) and can be recycled. This conclusion is based on the known history of the metal items and on radiation survey data (see the completed RP-Form-031 LANSCE Metals Clearance Log for each item). None of the items in this report are located within radiological areas. Therefore, the items are considered unencumbered and are not subject to the moratorium suspension on metal recycling from Department of Energy facilities. Additionally, LANL has determined that there is no practical opportunity for internal DOE reuse or recycling of this metal. Process knowledge indicates that these metal items were unlikely to ever be in direct contact with the beam and thus are unlikely to have become activated. Surface contamination measurements (both total and removable) showed either no detectable radioactivity or activity levels within the range of background. All measurements for volumetric contamination were indistinguishable from background based on calculated decision limits. Additionally, all gamma isotopic surveys conducted for defense-in-depth showed no identifiable gamma radiation from beam activation.

Isomers and Dark Matter: 180m Ta and 178m Hf [Slides]

Dark matter has attractive gravitational interactions. It does not interact with light, or has very small electromagnetic coupling. It is stable, or has a lifetime much longer than the age of the Universe. No departure model from the law of gravity explains all data, whereas particle dark matter can.
