GLOVE BOX AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT FOR THE REMOVAL OF RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT FROM HEXCELL COLLECTORS

摘要

A glove box and associated equipment necessary to decontaminate large tray radioactive fallout collectors are described. Volumetrically the glove box is about four times the capacity of a standard box and contains four glove ports so that two persons may work at the same time if necessary. Advantages offered by the use of this equipment are listed. The operations involved in the decontamination of the hexcell collectors have resulted in an efficient procedure. The uses of this box may be extrapolated, to other hazardous and toxic chemical or biological problems.
