Accelerated Basin De-Inventory Maximum Fissile Estimate
The Accelerated Basin De-inventory (ABD) program increases processing of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) in H-Canyon to accelerate the closure of L Basin. The dissolved SNF will be dispositioned to Sludge Batches that will be processing in the Defense Waste Processing Facility and converted to glass. The fissile glass loading directly impacts the amount of glass canisters made. This memorandum provides an estimated maximum quantity of total fissile expected to be transferred to a Sludge Batch to support increasing the fissile glass loading and thus reducing the number of canisters created across the lifetime of the ABD mission.
