Evaluation of process inventory uncertainties
This paper discusses the determination of some of the process inventory uncertainties in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) process line at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) Plutonium Processing Facility (TA-55). A brief description of the FFTF process is given, along with a more detailed look at the peroxide precipitation and re-dissolution (PR) process. Emphasis is placed on the identification of the product and sidestreams from the unit processes, as they have application to the accountability measurements. The method of measurement of each of the product and sidestreams and their associated uncertainties are discussed. Some typical data for the PR process are presented, along with a discussion of the data. The data presented are based on our operating experience, and data on file in the TA-55 Nuclear Material Accountability System (PF/LASS/.
