A new separations plant using a Purex type flow sheet has been proposed for the 200-West area. The proposed plant, which has been named TBX, would replace the two bismuth phosphate type plants, but it would use existing 200-T and 200-U area facilities. Substantial savings in operating costs, a potential capacity increase for the 200-Areas, and a reduction in plutonium losses are incentives for making the change.
