Engineering and emissions data base for the process facility modifications project

The mission of the Process Facility Modifications (PFM) project is to process irradiated Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and N Reactor fuels for the subsequent recovery of plutonium and uranium. The PFM project will provide the capability to segment fuel assemblies, leach the fuel from the inert hulls with nitric acid, and clarify and adjust the concentration of fuel solution before transfer to the Plutonium Uranium Extraction (PUREX) facility for solvent extraction separation, and purification. An alternatie to the construction of the full-scale PFM is to construct a smaller-scale PFM to process only FFTF fuel, and continue to chemically declad and dissolve N Reactor fuel in the PUREX plant. The purpose of this document is to provide the data and basic assumptions rquired for an environmental impact analysis and an environmental impact statement for the PFM project.
