Training About Training The training component provides training videos related to decommissioning and dismantlement work, ALARA Centers’ training material and custom training for the decommissioning and dismantlement community.

Tank Farms: Glovebag for Welding and Pipe Cutting > Solution Details

Recommendation

Solution entered: 2/20/2008 Solution updated: **********

Recommend designing a glovebag with a convertible top. The pipe cutting and piping fitup could be done in a certified glovebag. Once the fitup was complete they could decon the bag and remove the top. The remaining glovebag can be used as a catch basin and lined with fire retardant material such as Refrasil or flame guard for the welding. Since it is a socket weld, the actual welding is done on the outside of the pipe where it should be uncontaminated. Once the welding is complete, the convertible top can be replaced and the glovebag recertified, if necessary, to finish the job.
