Savannah River National Laboratory will determine through literature search and laboratory experimentation the flowsheet parameters necessary to safely and effectively dissolve, process, and neutralize the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) used nuclear fuel (UNF) by blending with High Aluminum/Low Uranium (HA/LU) UNF in H-Canyon. The flowsheet will include the number of SRE bundles that can safely be charged to the dissolver without exceeding hydrogen Lower Flammability Limit (LFL).
