PLUTONIUM RECLAMATION FACILITY--HUMAN ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS FOR GLOVE BOX DESIGN
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4723551
To assist in scoping alternates in the design of the Plutonium Reclamation Facility for feasibility, dimensional relationships, and cost estimates, a human engineering study was undertaken. This study was to define the limitations of an individual working through glove ports in a hood adapted to the specific requirements of the new factlity. Equipment could then be designed compatible with these known area limitations, minimizing the accessibility problem. Fundamental motion patterns and limitations for an average operator group'' were developed for the specific criteria of the proposed facility. The envelopes generated by those basic patterns were then arranged to determine the best glove port relationship while adhering to the established criteria. Minimum eye ports were then developed which coincide with the recommended glove port pattern. In general, a vertical plane 18 in. from the glove port face, with a hood inside height of 49 in., is the recommended maximum accessible area compatible with the established criteria. Equipment necessitating contact should be concentrated at glove port center line height (56 in. to floor or step) and directly across from an eye port at approximately 10 to 12 in. Glove port horizontal spacing is recommended at 16 in. on center, using a right/left glove concept. Maximum areas indicated are for direct line access; restrictions which force the hands to detour around equipment will reduce the limits accordingly. (auth)
