Coating Removal Waste Loss Reduction : Final Report, Production Test 221-B-8 (open access)

Coating Removal Waste Loss Reduction : Final Report, Production Test 221-B-8

The following report covers a test with the objective to demonstrate that the plutonium and uranium losses associated with the aluminum jacket dissolution could be reduced by substituting a water wash for the 5 per cent nitric acid wash following the coating removal and that this change would not adversely effect the product yield of decontamination in subsequent process steps.
