Design Scope of the Z Plant Metal Control Facility, Project CGC-944
- General Electric Co., Richland, WA (United States). Hanford Atomic Products Operation
The steadily increasing plutonium production rates in the 234-5 Building has resulted in a large increase in the number of PR cans that are now being handled in the building. This has resulted in the available receiving and storage places for PR cans being taxed beyond their full capacity thereby necessitating the storage of PR cans within the building corridors. Accordingly, the ten-year business plan for the 234-5 Building, as documented in HW-65000, included a program for providing new receiving and storage facilities to alleviate this problem. The purpose of this document is to present a complete process engineering design on the combined receiving, storing, and blending facility. This document will provide the basis for the preparation of all subsequent Title 1 and Title 2 designs of this combined facility which has been given the title of Metal Control Facility.
