Summary
The design criteria incorp;orate operational workability, material transfer mechanisms, personnel safeguards, materials of construction, ventilation, and equipment maintenance. The module concept for chemical, metallurgical, and analytical work and enclosures for specific equipment are discussed and illustrated. Transfer mechanisms, conveyeor tunnels and sequential operations in glove boxes are used to minimize the contamination hazard where material is moved into or from an enclosure. In addition to the normal industrial safety practices, exacting precautions are taken to prevent lacerations or burns of personnel and explosions best all-round material of construction. The potential fire hazard of plutonium and uranium metal has restricted the use of many plastic and other flammable 'material. Enclosure and operating-area ventilation systems are separate, the wxhause from glove boxes is drawn through successive banks of fire-resistant ultragh a single filter bank. (auth)
