Criticality safety evaluation report for the 100 KE Basin sandfilter backwash pit
1995
Abstract
This analysis presents the technical basis for establishing a safe mass limit for continued operations of the KE Basin sandfilter backwash pit. The main analysis is based on a very conservative UO{sub 2}-PuO{sub 2}-H{sub 2}O system using the measured isotopic concentrations of uranium and plutonium in the sludge. Appendix C contains analyses of the sandfilter backwash pit utilizing all verified materials presently in the pit, and gives new limits based on assumptions made.
