CX-270043: Radiological Glovebox Research Activities at Central Facilities Area (CFA)-625

The purpose of the radiological glovebox is to perform molecular spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and separations techniques commonly used at CFA-625 on radioactive samples that cannot be safely handled in fume hoods.  Glovebox activities increase capabilities and expertise in fundamental chemistry of the actinide elements in direct support to the Fuel Cycle Research and Development, Nuclear Science and Technology (NS&T), and National and Homeland Security Science and Technology (NHSS&T) programs. Programs using the glovebox are required to have their own project specific environmental checklists to address the environmental aspects (including potential for generating transuranic (TRU) waste and volumes of TRU waste), work activities, and regulatory requirements.
