A coordinated record of the design of a FMPC processing plant for the production of pure massive U from U-contrining raw materials is presented. A thorough understanding of FMPC operations may be obtained through the medium of over-all flow diagrams and associated rate criteria.(auth).

Process design information concerning equipment and operation of a plant to produce UF4 from UO3 is presented. Included are process flow diagrams, drawings of ventilation and dust control systems, and vent gas systenas. Equipment lists and estimated utilities are also included as well as a description of the process. (J.R.D.).
