Designing glove boxes and shielded units
Orano develops and produces custom long-lasting facilities with high levels of reliability suitable for the specific characteristics of the required operations when working in confined spaces.
-
For processes in a hostile environment requiring input by operators in normal conditions and/or during maintenance, design radiation protection and containment enclosures to:
- Guarantee the safety and security of both facilities and operators,
- Provide the best possible conditions for all tasks attributable to operators.
-
Support our customers from the feasibility study to process commissioning and beyond for any new designs or upgrades to existing facilities.
This co-construction phase also includes:
- understanding the process and any inherent adaptations to meet the customer’s precise needs,
- analysing the working conditions of the future operator,
- taking account of safety requirements, the working environment and co-activities,
- validating the solution via virtual reality and/or testing in a test hall.
-
- A package deal ranging from determining feasibility to process commissioning
- The design of new facilities or integration in current facilities
- Close attention paid to ensuring that operators can access equipment for maintenance operations
- The use of "standardised" equipment
- Consideration of downgraded modes and the associated precautionary measures from the design phase.
