Bespoke glovebox project supports transatlantic transfer of nuclear material
Wood designed, built and commissioned equipment and facilities used to repackage nuclear material so that it could be transported across the Atlantic.
The UK’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and the USA’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) recently announced the successful completion of the export programme.
A suite of bespoke gloveboxes was built within a purpose-built, seismically qualified structure inside an existing facility, so that the highly enriched uranium (HEU) could be handled safely within a controlled environment at the Dounreay nuclear site in Scotland, UK.
