Sand filter backwash pit criticality analysis
Description
In May 1993, a potential criticality problem arose in the KE Basin sand filter backwash pit on the Hanford Site. The problem necessitated extensive criticality analyses to establish the subcritical margin in that particular facility. This paper will describe the analyses and also point out some of the difficulties in applying American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards to the situation
