October 3, 2016A new glovebox is needed to support graphite characterization at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Research Complex (IRC) that is conducted for research associated with the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) program. The proposed action would install a new glovebox in Lab C18-B at IRC, building Idaho Falls (IF)-603 and would provide supply and exhaust ventilation for the glovebox. It is anticipated the glovebox will be used by this program through approximately 2022 then repurposed for other needs.
