Project CA 539: 241-SX Tank Farm description and use of facilities
The 241-SX Tank Farm for the underground storage of Redox process wastes was been completed and is ready for use. The purposes of this document are to describe the facility and propose the optimum operating scheme for its use. The scheme selected is dependent upon production rate, gallons of waste per ton of uranium processed, and the fission product activity per ton of uranium processed. The fission product activity depends upon the average power level in the piles, the irradiation time, and the cooling time. In this document assumptions are made for all of these variables, and a general scheme is proposed for economical use of the self-concentration facilities by proper choice of the order of filling tanks. 1 ref., 1 fig., 1 tab.
