This research effort was commissioned to examine factors related to loss of containment due to fire within a glovebox (GB). Tests consisted of multiple trials with varying initial conditions. Com bustible levels and types were chosen to reflect realistic operation conditions (including worst-case scenarios), involving flammable liquids, GB tools, and other combustible items commonly found in GBs at Los Alamos National Labs (LANL).
