Richland five-year 02 R and D program, Basic Production Mission

Description: This report contains the reports of progress and the plans for future work of Douglas United Nuclear, and Atlantic Richfield on the Basic Production Mission. This mission covers the Research and Development work associated with operating the Hanford production complex in its present mode. For the conventional reactors this means primarily the production of weapons-grade plutonium. For the N Reactor this primarily concerns the production of plutonium of 12 percent Pu-240 content, or such other P… more

Design criteria for an HTGR reference fuel reprocessing plant

Description: Design criteria are given for a conceptual reprocessing plant capable of processing HTGR-type graphite-based fuel. The single-purpose plant is designed to reprocess 260 metric tons of fuel per year consisting of HTGR reference-type and Fort St. Vrain fuel plus a small amount of Peach Bottom fuel. The design incorporates a burn-leach type headend, separate modified Acid-thorex flowsheets for solvent extraction recovery of the heavy metals from both the fertile and fissile particles, and denitrat… more
