An ergonomic job analysis of a work process within a glovebox
Gloveboxes have been used in various industries to protect the user and environment from hazardous materials and/or isolate the materials from environmental contamination. As the use of gloveboxes continues to grow in an effort to reduce contamination and the dependency of personal protective …

Development of Monte Carlo models of a gamma-ray nondestructive assay system for nuclear material control and accountability
… electrorefining salt (ER) residues and holdup in gloveboxes. For holdup measurements, accuracy is inherently limited because the exact distribution of material is unknown, which can lead to high uncertainties in reported masses. While the uncertainty in holdup measurements is assumed to be …

Application of experimental and computational fluid dynamics techniques to the design of vortex-amplifers
Operation of gloveboxes containing radiological hazards relies on risks being broadly acceptable. The operator's protection is maintained in the event of damage to the containment wall or gloves by Vortex Amplifiers (VA's). The VA is a hybrid of the vortex diode and the proportional beam deflection …

Performance of reduced-scale Vortex amplifiers used to control glovebox dust
… with high oxygen levels noted in the inerted gloveboxes; this required an expensive increase in the inert gas supply rate of gloveboxes to mitigate against fire risk. After doing experiments using a mini-VXA and typical glovebox, the author has confirmed the high 02 levels. The 02 distribution …

An experimental study of forced ventilation glovebox fires
… was performed to investigate the integrity of gloveboxes when subjected to lathe drip pan fires. These fires are potentially dangerous since glovebox failure may allow hazardous gases to escape containment. A full scale mockup of a glovebox and corresponding air flow system was constructed. …
