Comparative study of a glovebox dismantling facility for manual and remote glovebox dismantlement activities

Kitamura, Akihiro ; Hirano, Hiroshi*; Yoshida, Masato

This study presents the features and brief history of the glovebox dismantling facility and the primary dismantlement results. Subsequently, we evaluate the novelties of the facility from operational experiences in manual and remote glovebox dismantlement methods and discuss their characteristics. Furthermore, we evaluate the worker exposure dose based on the obtained data. Finally, we show how these experiences are effectively fed back to the technological dismantlement development for our decommissioning project.
