Conference ·
OSTI ID:5734255

The Pacific Northwest Laboratory operates two hot cell facilities in Hanford's 300 Area. The Post-irradiation Testing Laboratory and the Shielded Materials Facility are used for the examination and processing of irradiated fuels and materials. Major upgrades have been performed on these facilities to improve cost competitiveness, increase operational safety margins, and improve productivity. Current activities performed include irradiated fuels and materials nondestructive and destructive examinations, irradiated materials packaging and shipping, and fabrication of test specimens from irradiated materials.
