OSTI ID:4758412
An outline of the Fluoride Volatility Process is presented along with descriptions of the alpha containment boxes and equipment and discussion on the ventilation air and process off-gas handling schemes, critical path method for planning and schedu1ing construction jobs, and purchase cost data for various sizes of Chemical Engineering Hood, Alpha Modular (CENRAM) boxes. In the process the separation of fuel element components (uranium, plutonium, and fission products) is based on the chemical and physical properties of the fluorides formed by fluorinating a dejacketed element at 500 deg C in a fluidized bed reactor.
