In the Plutonium Fuel Technical Development Center, protective clothing suitable for sweltering radiation work was examined. Since it worried about the influence of wet protective clothing with sweat on detection of MOX powder contamination, Detection situations, the diffusion of contamination, and the osmosis and penetrability to wet protective clothing were examined about the present fabric and other new fabrics. As a result of examination, it was confirmed that the influence of detection on alpha ray in the wet condition of new fabrics was smaller than the current fabric. This report compiled the result of examination and points in the fabric selection suitable for protective clothing.
