This document establishes the functions and requirements for the Purex Fuel Transfer Project. The scope of this document includes the 105 KW Basin facilities and utilities necessary to support the Purex Fuel Transport Project, beginning with receipt of the SNF shipment at the K Basins fence line and ending with storage of Mark II canisters in 105 KW Basin. Fuel transportation and packaging requirements are not covered in the scope of this document, but may be referenced in WHC-SC-TP-POC-028, Purex Fuel Shipment Packaging Design Criteria. The 105 KW Basin will function as the receiving repackaging, and storage facility for approximately 0.4 Metric Ton Uranium (MTU) of N Reactor fuel that will be received in four Mark II canisters, and approximately 3.0 MTU of SPR fuel that will be received in four Slug Bucked Overpacks.
