Pump and Agitation in the CPC(Chemical Processing Cell): Capacity and Attainment

摘要

During the TNX SRAT/SME Batch No. 3 transfer to the Melter Feed Tank (7B86), the transfer pump lost its prime. This occurred while the SRAT agitator was on high speed (130 rpm) with 3200 gallons of slurry remaining in the tank. The transfer pump failure pump failure during high speed agitation lead to an investigation of the phenomena and a DWPF operating impact evaluation. This report summarizes the activities and the results that constituted Technology Issue 4.1, Pumping and Agitation in the CPC (Chemical Processing Cell). 4 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.
