This report discusses the review of the proposed thorium nitrate specifications,the preparation of tentative product specifications for Purex U-233 and thorium nitrates, and an estimation of the feasibility, cost and product composition for providing U-233 oxide at Hanford. The tentative specifications proposed for U-233 and thorium product for the Purex Plant are presented. The values chosen represent the understanding of feed material and reactor processing needs and the current estimates of Purex Plant capabilities.
