Description

The Pu in one batch (160 gms) is precipitated in a purification hood and waste supernatant is then transferred to the storage tank in one of the recovery hoods. Under normal process conditions a small amount of Pu remains in the supernatant. However, it is possible, though extremely unlikely, that the entire 160 grams would be transferred to the waste storage tank. The supernatants are transferred to an evaporator where they are concentrated. This evaporator has dimensions approximately the same as those of the storage tank, however, as concentration proceeds, the remaining solution can pass to a geometry more favorable ... continued below

Description

The Pu in one batch (160 gms) is precipitated in a purification hood and waste supernatant is then transferred to the storage tank in one of the recovery hoods. Under normal process conditions a small amount of Pu remains in the supernatant. However, it is possible, though extremely unlikely, that the entire 160 grams would be transferred to the waste storage tank. The supernatants are transferred to an evaporator where they are concentrated. This evaporator has dimensions approximately the same as those of the storage tank, however, as concentration proceeds, the remaining solution can pass to a geometry more favorable for a chain reaction. There should be definite assurance before evaporation is begun that the amount of Pu in the evaporator does not exceed 160 grams. It is concluded that there is no objection, from a nuclear safety standpoint, to the discontinuance of analysis of the supernatants.
