Abstract
During 1980-81 a series of minirun experiments was being conducted at the AGNS Barnwell Nuclear Fuels Plant. Each experiment consists of operating the second and third plutonium cycles continuously for approximately one week using natural uranium solutions. One of the main objectives of the miniruns is to demonstrate near-real-time accounting and control techniques in a large, modern reprocessing facility. The results of five of these miniruns during 1980 are reported. 8 refs.
