Shank, E. M.

Information obtained from HAPO during visit by M.K. Twichell, UCNC, and E.M. Shank, ORNL, is given. Included are the tentative procedures for obtaining and transmitting information to the Eurochemic company. Discussions are given on pulsed columns, corrosion, puse generators, centrifuges, valves, in-line instrumentation, evaporators, resin column design, off-gas processing, solvent recovery, liquid-waste handling, process control, equipment decontamination, criticality, radiation protection, diluent, and solvent stability, backmixing in a pulsed column, and use of 40% TBP in the purex flowsheet.
