This report summarizes the agreements reached in a meeting at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant on November 20-21, 1961, between ORNL and Phillips Petroleum Company technical personnel in regard to criteria for the proposed Darex Pilot Plant. The objectives of the pilot plant will be to develop processes suitable for production use for low- and highly-enriched U-235 fuels and for thorium fuel. A pilot plant capable of both batch and continuous processing with a highly-enriched fuel capacity of 6 to 10 kg/day U-235 and equivalent volumetric through-put for low-enriched fuels is planned. Flowsheets were reviewed and final experimental and engineering studies were assigned to permit preparation of a tentative schedule for Darex desgin, procurement, and installation.
