A Purex process two cycle plant study

Description: Major additions to separations facilities may be required because of increased reactor power levels, reduced exposures; changes in slug specifications, obsolescence of existing solvent extraction plants or development of new separations processes with lower operating costs. The magnitude of first costs for a separations plant is so large as to discourage production planning which would require an additional major separations facility. Experience in separations design has shown that certain proc… more

Design and development study: Task 2 replacement RM Line 234-5 Building D.O. 100991

Description: The Dry Chemistry Process of the RM Line provides the means for converting plutonium oxalate to plutonium tetrafluoride. This process consists of drying the oxalate cake and then converting to the tetrafluoride by passing HF gas at elevated temperature through the filtered cake. Improvement to or replacement of the present Task II system is being investigated because of the high maintenance costs and unreliability of the present system. This study is one of several being conducted under the Che… more
