CX-270162: Fuel Cycle Laboratory Glove Box in Fuel Conditioning Facility (FCF)

In order to establish a Fuel Cycle Laboratory in the Fuel Conditioning Facility (FCF), a 22 foot long glove box will be installed in Room 26. The three-section glove box is manufactured by MBraun Corporation and includes an atmosphere regeneration bed. Three pieces of equipment will be installed in the glove box to provide the capability for molten-salt electrorefining development, vacuum distillation, and fuel casting. The three pieces of equipment are a prototype electrorefiner, a distillation furnace, and a casting development system. All three pieces of equipment include mobile cabinets for instrumentation and control which would be placed against the walls of Room 26 in convenient locations.
