Project C-361, Engineers' flow sketch and process description, UNH conversion facilities

摘要

The Metal Conversion Process described herein is designed to handle the combined output of decontaminated uranium from both the Redox and T.B.P. processes. Thus the design rate is 13-1/8 short tons per day. The bulk of the equipment is to be installed in the presently unused 224-U Building. The process has been divided into three steps: (1) acid recovery and uranyl nitrate concentration; (2) uranyl nitrate conversion; (3) waste metal recovery product receivers. The major items of equipment and flows thru the plant are shown on the attached Engineers' Flow Sketches, numbered SK-2-50005, SK-2-50006, and SK-2-50047.
