Abstract

A system for changing the gloves of a glove box. The system requires the use of a new glove and a glove change ring to form a temporary secondary barrier to the exchange of atmospheres between the inner glove box and the room in which the glove box is operated. The system describes specific means for disengaging a used glove from the glove box port. The means for disengaging the used glove include use of a glove change hook and use of a glove with an attached tab for use in removal. A method for changing the gloves of a glove box is also described.

Decontamination and reconditioning of the Argonne National Laboratory-West Casting Laboratory alpha glove box

Conference Poston, Jr, J W ; Burke, L L

The Casting Laboratory (CL) alpha glove box was used to melt and cast metallic uranium and plutonium fuels as part of the Department of Energy`s Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor Program. This highly contaminated alpha glove box was decontaminated and reconditioned to allow a change in mission. The goal of reconditioning was to install experimental apparatus and to improve contamination control prior to introducing plutonium-238 into the CL glove box. Construction of a glove box containment structure and an increase in room ventilation were required. A temporary breathing air station was provided for personnel protection as well as personnel comfort.more »« less

GLOVE BOX ATTACHMENT

Patent Butts, H L

This invention comprises a housing unit to be fitted between a glove box port and a glove so that a slidable plate within the housing seals off the glove box port for evacuation of the glove box without damage to the glove. The housing and the glove may be evacuated without damage to the glove since movement of the glove is restricted during evacuation by the slidable plate. (AEC)
A modular dexterous robot for glove box applications

Conference Walker, Jr, E W ; Igou, R E ; Karlen, J P ; ...

Many industrial processes today require the use of {open_quotes}glove boxes{close_quotes} {emdash} environmentally sealed chambers designed to allow access by human workers through ports fitted with protective gloves. A new technology for the automation of complex material-handling functions is described in this paper. The advantages of an agile robotic manipulator system being used in this application are discussed, including reduced life-cycle cost of automation, enhanced ability to respond to changes in process requirements, and improved reliability and maintainability. This paper also reviews lessons learned in applying an highly dexterous modular robot to a glove box environment, such as the evaluation ofmore »« less

GLOVE BOX--INTRODUCTION PORT (Engineering Materials)

Technical Report

The port used for introducing materials into a glove box is a door made in two sections. The inner section is 1/2 in. thick and 10 1/4 in. in dia. The outside of the door is 9 7/8 in. in dia. and 1/2 in. thick. Light teflon-covered Q'' rings separate the two parts of the door. A teflon washer is used at the knob. (F.L.S.)
Plutonium contamination control studies during a glove box scale simulated excavation of TRU buried waste

Technical Report Shaw, P G ; Loomis, G G

A series of glove box scale excavation experiments were performed to investigate contamination control during retrieval operations. The glove box apparatus was constructed of plexiglass with three glove ports and a removable/sealable lid. A soil block that was spiked with dysprosium as a plutonium analog was used in glove box tests. Test variables in the glove box experiments included soil moisture content and excavation techniques (dig rate and degree of vigorousness). Instrumentation to measure airborne concentrations of both respirable and nonrespirable particles included five EPA low volume cyclone sampling systems. Both small respirable particles and larger nonrespirable particles were activatedmore »« less
