[ RadSafe ] Glove box qualification

[Kulp, Jeffrey B]

All,

 

The institution I work for has a user of radioactive materials who wants
to use transuranic isotopes in highly concentrated acid in a glove box.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions for where I might go to find
specifications for testing the glove box (i.e. vacuum drop test, or
hydrostatic test)? What materials should be avoided due to the acidic
environment? Are there any other things I should be aware of?

 

Thanks,
