To verify the operation of the Product Composition Control System (PCCS), a test case specific to DWPF operation was developed. The values and parameters necessary to demonstrate proper DWPF product composition control have been determined and are presented in this paper. If this control information (i.e., for transfers and analyses) is entered into the PCCS as illustrated in this paper, and the results obtained correspond to the independently-generated results, it can safely be said that the PCCS is operating correctly and can thus be used to control the DWPF. The independent results for this test case will be generated and enumerated in a future report. This test case was constructed along the lines of the normal DWPF operation. Many essential parameters are internal to the PCCS (e.g., property constraint and variance information) and can only be manipulated by personnel knowledgeable of the Symbolics[reg sign] hardware and software. The validity of these parameters will rely on induction from observed PCCS results. Key process control values are entered into the PCCS as they would during normal operation. Examples of the screens used to input specific process control information are provided. These inputs should be entered into the PCCS database, and the results …

Adsorption of Pu and U onto monosodium titanate (MST) in alkaline salt solution was measured. Changes in MST particle size distribution do not significantly affect the loadings of actinides. Max loading of plutonium-239 is 0.68 wt% at 0.79 mg/L Pu, below the infinitely safe value of 0.80 wt%. Max loading of uranium-235 onto MST is 1.4 wt% at a concentration of 20.3 {plus_minus} 2.0 mg/L U, slightly higher than the calculated infinitely safe limit of 1.2 wt%. Experimental data indicated there is competition between plutonium and uranium for sites on the MST, and that the loading will favor the higher concentration species. Since the solubility of uranium is 10--100 times higher than of plutonium, uranium will be loaded to its maximum limit, but plutonium will be below its maximum limit. To ensure that the concentration of fissile materials cannot exceed nuclear safety limits, it is recommended that plutonium and uranium solubility tests be conducted with solutions which bound the compositions of waste which will be treated in ITP process.

A hybrid smoothing algorithm is described that smooths first in time and then in frequency. The time-frequency smoothing algorithm is designed to compute estimates of the cyclic (cross) spectrum along lines of constant cycle frequency. A variation on the algorithm, one that incorporates the One Bit Spectral Correlation Algorithm (OBSCA), is also described. A simulation study is presented that evaluates the algorithms.

Environmental Restoration managers need to demonstrate that their programs are under control. Unlike most industrial programs, the public is heavily involved in Environmental Restoration activities. The public is demanding that the country prove that real progress is being made towards cleaning up the environment. A Program Control Management System can fill this need. It provides a structure for planning, work authorization, data accumulation, data analysis and change control. But it takes time to implement a control system and the public is losing its patience. This paper describes critical items essential to the quick development and implementation of a successful control system.
