Abstract

A heavily shielded, remotely operated facility, located within the Radiochemical Processing Plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been designed and is being operated to convert 1000 kg of fissile uranium from a nitrate solution to a solid oxide form. This project, the Consolidated Edison Uranium Solidification Program (CEUSP), is being carried out in order to prepare a stable uranium form for long-term storage. This paper describes the solidification process selected, the equipment and facilities required, the experimental work performed to ensure successful operation, some problems that were solved, and the initial operations.
