Purpose

The JRC Karlsruhe plans to purchase an alpha-tight encasement for the dismantling of glove boxes at the JRC Karlsruhe premises. The glove box dismantling, as all other activities within the JRC Karlsruhe involving the handling of radioactive materials, ought to comply with all safety specifications to be applied in a controlled area of a nuclear facility. It follows from precisely these safety considerations that the glove boxes at the JRC Karlsruhe must only be scrapped in an alpha-tight encasement that can demonstrably and reliably prevent the spread of contamination.Supplementary safety requirements are: a defined subatmospheric pressure in the work area, the use of fire-retardant materials and the possibility to integrate the system into the existing monitoring instrumentation established at the JRC Karlsruhe.
