Mechanization of the 300 Area slug canning facilities is required to obtain uniform high quality product and to eliminate variables introduced by the human element. The work to be covered by this brochure will cover requirements for mechanization of only the operations occurring within the aluminum-silicon canning bath: can and cap preheating and wetting, canning assembly, and quenching operation. Briefly, this machine will be required to insert a prepared uranium slug into an aluminum can and close the can opening with an aluminum cap. All assembly operations are to be carried out underneath a molten bath of aluminum-silicon bonding alloy. The uranium slug is preheated and prewetted before being transferred to the assembly furnace; however, the process must be so timed that proper preheating and wetting is attained before the slug is inserted. After assembly the completed canned slug is transferred to the quenching station, where the components are to be firmly held together until the molten Al-Si has frozen, forming a homogeneously bonded assembly.

Document HW-21096, inquires regarding changes in equipment, so that various proposed flows of process water to each of the present production units, at several 105 control room pressures, may be effected. The proposed conditions are shown in table form in the report. For the purpose of calculations upon which this letter is based, the pressure used here is that which is recorded at the 105 control room ``inlet`` panel. It is actually the top of riser pressure, plus static head between the recorder and the point of pressure tap.
