An analytical model was developed and applied to a hypothetical criticality excursion in a freezer/sublimer of UF{sub 6}. Gaseous diffusion plants store UF{sub 6}. Neutronic calculations have shown that a critical configuration can occur if water accidentally enters the system, although the possibility of this ocurrence is highly unlikely.
