JFN has a track-record in the design and delivery of containments for the safe handling and manipulation of radioactive materials in development, production and decommissioning applications. With extensive experience of designing for practical operations, JFN can provide the solution to your radioactive material processing challenges. Containments can be designed for all classifications of contamination controlled areas and are decontaminable and wipe-down in accordance with NF standards.
JFN has experience of designing nuclear ventilation systems for supply and extract of air from facilities and containments. Containments can be designed with a stand-alone ventilation system, or to be interfaced with a new or existing building ventilation system. HEPA filtration units can be fitted with safe change filter boxes to minimise the spread of contamination when filters are changed.
Glove boxes are a flexible and reliable method of containing radioactive material. Glove boxes can be designed to contain equipment and JFN has experience of including process equipment and powder handling systems such as hoppers, crushers, blenders, grinders and pelleting equipment. For complex operations, suites of glove boxes with ports and connecting tunnels to pass material from one work area to another can be provided. Double-door transfer ports can be provided for bringing material into the glove box complex without compromising the containment. For export of material, bagging and double-bagging ports for the safe removal of items and drum-out facilities can be provided.
During decommissioning, cutting operations can mobilise contamination and particulates. JFN has extensive experience in designing ventilated size-reduction booths to minimise the impact on decommissioning workers.
JFN has experience of designing sealed containers and boxes to IAEA transport standards.
