| Summary: | The latest HAPO Five Year Program review, indicates that significant increases in Pu production from the eight existing Hanford reactors may be achieved. These production increases would be attained by a combination of several methods including increased process water flow rates, reactor coolant outlet temperature, improved time operated efficiency, conversion ratio and induced transient reactivity looses. In order to provide a realistic basis for budgeting to meet these or other increased production goals, it to necessary that a study program be undertaken to determine in general terms the more nearly optimum plant changes required and to evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of achieving future process conditions. The purpose of this document is to present a plan for the execution of the prepared study. Included in the study outline are the basis study consideration, problem assignments and schedules, required manpower estimates, and tentative cost estimates. |
