Design criteria: Reactor plant modification -- Project CG-558 and 100-C Area Alterations -- Project CG-600. Volume 1, Revision 1

摘要

This document defines the basic criteria to be used in the preparation of detailed design for Project CG-558, Reactor Plant Modification for Increased Production and for Project CG-600, 100-C Area Alterations. It has been determined that the most economical method of increasing plutonium production within the next five years is by the modernization and improvement of the 100-B, 100-C, 100-D, 100-DR, 100-F, and 100-H reactor plants. These reactors are currently incapable of operating at their maximum potential power levels because of a limited availability of process cooling water. As a result of this program, it is estimated that 1650-2350 megawatts of total additional production will be achieved.
