Process intermediate storage operational results

If the reaction is to be performed in a continuous setting, two separate sets of equipment are required and must be operated simultaneously. Compositions are then obtained by mixing the necessary streams belonging to each structure in the appropriate proportions. By comparison, if it is desired to perform the same task under batch conditions, an identical outcome may be achieved by two serial operations together with intermediate storage of material used in mixing processes. Hence, it may turn out that a single set of reactive equipment is sufficient to achieve the same result. 

Limited operation of this facility will be required as part of the shutdown of the EBR-II reactor and the close-out of the IFR research programme. Considerable material is in process, including all of the EBR-II fuel and blanket material. The FCF facilities will be adapted to stabilize material from interim storage and may be used later for preparation of waste forms for final disposal. Naturally, all of the intermediate waste products which result from these processing operations will need to be prepared for di sal. Fortunately, much of the waste from development performed as part of the IFR programme is q)plicable and can be used in this mission.
