A filter housing and filter were installed by Dan McDonald on November 14 in the piping section between the Remote Handling Hot Cell Lab active sump and the city sewer drain as shown in the attached picture. The purpose of the new filter is to prevent pieces of active material from being released to the drain when the sump is pumped out. If small pieces of active material enter the sump they may sink to the bottom, and not be captured in a water sample which is taken from the top of the sump.
The filter housing is a Waterite HP1034CLUR-KIT, and the installed filter is a 10" Cuno Microwynd 25micron filter.
This modification was approved by Curtis Ballard, Joe Mildenberg, and Grant Minor prior to installation. |
