A previous study described proposed facilities at B-Plant which integrate future fission product and waste calcination activities. However, in the reactivation of B-Plant in accordance with this study, heavy expenditures, above budgeted funds, would be required at an early date for Phase 1 process changes coupled with general rehabilitation work and facilities for updating of radiological control. Since waste calcination activities in B-Plant are not scheduled until Fiscal Year 1966, the expense of B-Plant rehabilitation items would be borne solely by the Fission Product Program.

Description
A previous study described proposed facilities at B-Plant which integrate future fission product and waste calcination activities. However, in the reactivation of B-Plant in accordance with this study, heavy expenditures, above budgeted funds, would be required at an early date for Phase 1 process changes coupled with general rehabilitation work and facilities for updating of radiological control. Since waste calcination activities in B-Plant are not scheduled until Fiscal Year 1966, the expense of B-Plant rehabilitation items would be borne solely by the Fission Product Program. This report provides the Title I design of Phase 1 fission product facilities at B-Plant which can be provided vith minimum capital expenditures. The facility described in this report accomplishes the overall processing objectives of the facility, namely the recovery and storage of crude strontium-90 and rare-earth concentrates, although certain B-Plant improvements are deferred to later phases of the Fission Product and Waste Calcination Programs.
