Increased production study B, D, DR, F, H and C reactors

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10186005· OSTI ID:10186005
This document studies a broad study program which is currently in progress in Irradiation Processing Department to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of various methods of obtaining increased production from the six older reactors (B, D, DR, F, H, and C Reactors). Due to time limitations this study has been in general terms only, but has indicated that considerable increased plant return can be obtained from an increased conversion ratio as well as from higher reactor power levels. The work performed by this Unit has been concerned with defining the reactor process component modifications, and process piping changes between the 105 Building valve pits and effluent basins which will be required to attain the production increases.
