This CSER establishes the technical basis for allowing N Reactor fuel, that is currently located on the PUREX dissolver cell floor, to be retrieved, placed into Mark II canisters and stored on the fuel canister rack. This Criticality Safety-Evaluation Report (CSER) establishes the technical basis for allowing N Reactor fuel, that is currently located on the PUREX dissolver cell floor, to be retrieved, placed into Mark II canisters and stored on the fuel canister rack. Since the amount of fuel involved is far below the N Reactor fuel critical mass, it is concluded that there is a large safety margin and the system will remain safely subcritical
