Strategy for analysis of coatings and subsurface sludge recovered during hot cell examinations of N Reactor elements from Hanford K Basins

摘要

Subsurface sludge and/or surface coating material have been collected for four N Reactor fuel elements from K West Basin and one element from K East Basin. It is proposed that examinations of the fairly small volumes of recovered material proceed in order to identify the constituents and their potential impacts on fuel and sludge processing. Lists of potential examination techniques and material allocations are given in this report.
