From page 33...
... within three years, with a throughput rate of 16 kg/month for driver assemblies sustained for a minimum of three months anti a blanket throughput rate of 150 kg per month sustained for one month. Specific goals to meet criterion I: Freeze process modifications and operating parameters while demonstrating a continuous throughput of 16 kg of driver uranium for three consecutive months.
From page 34...
... Criterion 4: Demonstration that safety risks, environmental impacts, and nuclear materials accountancy are quantified and acceptable within regulatory limits. Specific goals to meet criterion 4: Demonstrate that the FCF air emissions result in an effective dose equivalent to the public of less than 10 mrem per year, which is the limit in DOE Order 5400.5 34
From page 35...
... Show that FCF personnel exposure is less than 0.5 rem per year average and I.5 rem per year for the maximum individual exposure, which is a factor of 3 less than the DOE Occupational Radiation Protection Final Rule lOCFRS35 limit that is 5 rem per year. Demonstrate a material control and accountability system that shows the histoncal inventory difference for uranium and plutonium is within control limits based on variance propagation of measurement and sampling errors, as specified in DOE Order 5633.3B.
