Title: Ventilation systems for a spent LWR fuel recycle complex

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6664358

A conceptual design study has been made of a facility to recycle spent Light Water Reactor fuel. This study was based on coprocessing of plutonium and uranium where plutonium is never available as a separate material. The design of the fuel reprocessing facilities is based on remote operation and remote maintenance. The experience of many years of safe and dependable operation of government fuel processing facilities at Savannah River and Hanford was used in the design. A requirement of the study was that the facilities be licensable under Title 10 and Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
