This report discuss the design of the Plutonium Reclamation Facility the capacity of which will be 300 kilograms per month or 3600 kilograms per year or plutonium. The subject facility, as the name implies, must be extremely flexible in its ability to handle a wide variety of feed materials. The new facility will be operating on a three-shift day, five-day week, 40-week year with an overall efficiency of 75 percent; twelve weeks per year will be required for ``turnaround`` time to enable campaign operation for segregation of feed plutonium by isotopic content.
