Japan - process design

[Michael S Ford <MFORD@pantex.com>]

My first inclination is to ask:  "Who's the brain surgeon that put a
water jacket around a uranium process tank?"

Is this common practice?

Second, does anyone have information on how the U is added to
the tank.  Process-controlled feed?  Dumped from a barrel? 
Gunny-sack?  How does a guy get 4.2 lbs and 35 lbs mixed up? 
Was this a saki-induced mishap? (tongue-in-cheek)

My own personal/non-corporate thoughts,
v/r
