Chlorine Worth Study in Support of PF-4 Operations [Slides]
Aqueous Chloride Operations at PF-4 are important because they recover Pu from other processes, reduce waste sent to WIPP, and increase throughput for Am production. Aqueous Chloride Operations have very conservative mass limits (~520 grams Pu) and significant amounts of Chlorine but calculations not crediting Cl-35 neutron absorption accounting for Cl-35 absorption leads to higher mass limits. Can experiments be designed/conducted to provide technical justification to NCS in order to increase mass limits?
