Redox Birch recovery scope design. Revision 1
TL;DRAbstract
The scope design for Birch recovery at Redox was presented in September 12, 1960. Final plutonium purification and decontamination by anion exchange in a pulsed-bed contactor under development by Hanford Laboratories was proposed. Potential advantages of low cost and improved operability were anticipated from the new contactor; when these were not demonstrated in the development work in time to meet project schedules, it was decided to revert to the Higgins-type contactor for which considerable Purex operating experience can be drawn upon for design bases. This scope revision presents the necessary changes to cover the change of contactors.
