MILLER, E M

This CSER raises the fissile mass limit for the PFP 241-2 Waste Tanks from 400 to 900 grams. This increase is allowed by increased control of the amount and location of fissile material waste sources to Tank TK-D8. The input of waste to TK-D8 is limited to 150 g or less per addition. The fissile mass in additions, the mass in the tank heel, and the tank inventory book keeping are done and then checked. The tank inventories are calculated conservatively by adding inputs of fissile mass but not subtracting outputs. After a tank is emptied, the tank fissile mass inventory is rebaselined to be equal to a conservatively measured NDA value for the tank.
