A maintenance glove box, which has been installed in the equipment repair complex of the Hot Fuel Examination Facility/North (HFEF/N) for repairing sealed master-slave manipulator arms, increases personnel efficiency, reduces manpower requirements, and reduces personnel exposure to radiation. The transfer of a manipulator arm into the glove box is accomplished remotely, thus eliminating the need for a bagged transfer to a repair area. Also, the glove box provides 360-deg access to the manipulator from a clean area, eliminates the need for repair personnel to wear anticontamination clothing, and makes continuous coverage by health physicists unnecessary during repairs.
