Bacca, J P

The Hot Fuel Examination Facility (HFEF) Complex continues to provide primary postirradiation handling and examination support for the US, US/Japanese, and US/United Kingdom Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) fuels and materials development and reactor safety programs. For the last several years, such support has also been provided for other US nuclear programs. These include the Light Water Reactor Safety Program, the Three Mile Island No. 2 (TMI-2) reactor accident-recovery programs, the Light Water Breeder Reactor Program, the US Air Force Neutron Radiography Program, and Defense Nuclear Programs. The HFEF facilities have been refurbished and upgraded and capabilities have been added to accommodate these programs and to maintain the HFEF Complex as a world-class, state-of-the-art hot-cell complex.
