- Summary
- The first hot feed from dissolved irradiated fuel was introduced to the HA partitioning column on December 20. Full strength (100% irradiated fuel) solvent extraction was initiated on 12-27-83. To date, Purex has charged approximately 90 metric tonnes of N-Reactor irradiated fuel in head end dissolvers. Of this 90 tonnes, approximately 50 were charged during December operations. The plutonium conversion process final integrated cold test using calcium was successfully completed on December 7, 1983, meeting the ten day 70% total operating efficiency two days ahead of schedule. All items on Readiness Review for the UNH Receiving and Storage System at UO3 Plant were completed with the Operational Test Procedure was completed. The scheduled startup for the UO3 Plant remains unchanged. Terminal cleanout of the miscellaneous gloveboxes was completed on December 15, on schedule. Terminal cleanout of the miscellaneous fabrication line glovebox continued on schedule with 13 percent of the effort completed. Training and certification of Plutonium Reclamation Facility operating personnel has been completed. The Remote Mechanical C Line reactivation schedule and procurement plan was completed. Decontamination and removal of Hood HC-227 was completed December 30, on schedule.
