Online Monitoring of Radiochemical Processing Streams for the Plutonium-238 Supply Program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1787938
Online monitoring with spectrophotometry is being developed to improve the timeliness of analytical measurements for the Plutonium-238 Supply Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A commercially available online monitoring software was used to calculate and view process data in real time to help identify process deviations and optimize system performance. Monitoring detailed process data will improve processing efficiency and help technicians make decisions during hot-cell operations.
