CAC-880 Pu RECLAMATION FACILITY--Z PLANT GLOVE BOX DESIGN STUDY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4747839
Design studies for the Plutorium Reclamation Facility called for the main process equipment to be mounted on walls of a canyon cell with all piping from each vessel brought out through plugs in the 2-ft-thick concrete wall to a shielded glove box hood where all interconnecting equipment such as piping, valves, controls, and pumps are located. The space requirements precluded designing the main process glove boxes with the size limitations recommended by the initial study. Therefore, a study was made to extend the size of the hoods. Recommendations are given for glove-box depth, maximum distance from glove ports to top or bottom of hood, horizontal glove port spacing, viewing windows and their location, vertical spacing of glove ports, working and equipment location areas with the hoods, and required platform heights.
