    Looking deeper into this, it shows me that this webinar isn't for GNF-A's benefit or for GLE either, they were told of their performance with Criticality inspections back in 2015 at exit meetings on October 13 and November 19
    see here https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1602/ML16026A580.pdf


    What I believe this webinar is all about is informing the public about what has been happening at Wilmington with respect to GNF-A's and GLE's efforts at recycling and handling Special Nuclear Materials for RECYCLING.

    I believe the public are about to be told on the 12th April 2017 in the US, just what has been happening at Wilmington for the last six or seven years?
    I reckon this is a MEDIA EVENT to inform the public?
    If GLE and GNF-A want to continue with this effort and build a Pilot plant to prove that a full scale commercial plant is viable? then I reckon it would be about now that the Public should be informed about what has been happening and what is going to happen in the future? I hope I am right because that would also mean that the reorg is a done deal wouldn't it?


    I remember reading just recently that one of the US senators liked the idea of recycling, he also said something about using technology developed at Argonne, he was talking about Pyroprocessing (I did post something on HC to that effect not long ago).

    ADVANCED FUEL CYCLE STUDIES
    A method for recycling used oxide fuel and other forms of
    metal fuel involves multiple steps known as electrometallurgical
    processing (a.k.a., pyroprocessing). The initial step towards the
    recycling process is chopping the spent oxide fuel rods into
    smaller pieces and reducing the oxide content, while metal fuel
    rods do not need to be reduced. This results in a metallic feed
    for the electrorefiner where it is then added to the anode basket
    located in a molten salt bath. During the electrorefining, the
    uranium and plutonium is transported to a cathode basket while
    the fission products and other transuranic elements remain in
    the salt bath. The transported metal formations on the cathode
    are dendritic and therefore need to be consolidated. The
    consolidation occurs in a crucible where the uranium and
    plutonium metal is formed into an ingot.

    This method is similar to that performed at Argonne National Laboratory [8-9]. The resulting ingot may then be used for potential fabrication of fast
    reactor fuel.
    The metal dendrite formations and ingots are a criticality
    safety concern, which are formed from such processes as
    electrorefining, cathode processing, and casting processes.

    The MCNP5 modeling of plutonium and uranium metal systems
    may be used for preliminary reprocessing batch size analysis
    providing insight on component sizing and economics.
    As such, a GEH validation of MCNP5 was performed for
    uranium and plutonium metal systems to support design studies
    relating to reprocessing operations.

    A total of 151 critical benchmark experiments were selected to bound expected
    parameter ranges. Each experiment was modeled using MCNP5 to determine the effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) of the experiment.
    The results were then statistically evaluated and analyzed for trends to determine the USL using the GEH USLSA statistical method. A corresponding set of four AOAs were established, including [10]:


    It would not surprise me in the least if a small quantity of recycled Uranium from GLE has already been processed by GNF-A into LEU or even a MOX fuel?
