Hot Fuel Examination Facility/South refurbishment program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4118718
The Hot Fuel Examination Facility/South has been in continuous service since 1964. With the exception of a two-month air cell shutdown in 1969, all maintenance and repair has been done either remotely or by the removal of components from the cells for repair or replacement. The point has now been reached where extensive overhaul is required, and a major shutdown of the facility is planned. During the facility shutdown, the in-cell equipment will be removed from the cells. The cells will be decontaminated, cell windows and lighting will be modified, and remote-handling equipment will be improved. When the cells and cell equipment have been cleaned and modified, the facility will be returned to service in support of the LMFBR program. (auth)
