Revised definitive process design, E-metal dissolver equipment, Redox Facility

摘要

The purpose of this report is to present the revised process design to be used as the basis for the detail design of Redox dissolvers each of which shall meet the following: Process irradiated natural uranium slugs (standard Hanford or I&E type) at 43% of Phase II Redox production rates; process irradiated enriched uranium up to .94% U(sup 235) isotopic content in slugs (standard Hanford or I&E type) at rates up to 43% of Phase II capacity; and process irradiated fuel elements of cluster design from new reactors with cladding material of aluminum or zirconium, enrichments to .94% U(sup 235) and dimensions of ten feet long and 10 inches square. This report is also to form the basis for slug distribution tests to be performed by HLO concurrent with the final design effort.
