Availability of reprocessing systems in an HTGR fuel recycle facility

This report summarizes work being done on the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) recycle reference facility (HRRF) to: (1) Define terms to be used to discuss availability, efficiency, reliability, and maintainability of HRRF systems. (2) Establish methods for calculating availability and efficiency of reprocessing systems. (3) Estimate reliability and maintainability of major reprocessing systems as a basis for availability calculations. (4) Identify factors other than reliability and maintainability that affect system availability and efficiency. (5) Establish procedures for collecting and upgrading data needed for availability and efficiency calculations.
