OSTI ID:4189078
Sandia Laboratories, Livermore, is constructing a new facility, the Tritium Research Laboratory, that incorporates containment and cleanup facilities which hold any tritium that is accidentally released rather than allow the material to be vented to the atmosphere. This containment is achieved with hermetically sealed glove boxes that are connected on demand by manifolds to two central decontamination systems called the Gas Purification System (GPS) and the Vacuum Effluent Recovery System (VERS). The primary function of the GPS is to remove tritium and tritiated water vapor from the glove box atmosphere. The primary function of the VERS is to decontaminate the gas exhausted from the vacuum pumps in the building before venting this gas to the stack. (auth)
