Abstract
The Plutonium Fabrication Pilot Plant (PFPP) is described. Glove-box- enclosed equipment is provided for plutonium fuel research, development of new fabrication processes, and fabrication of experimental reactor fuels containing plutonium. The design philosophy of the facility is containment and directional ventilation control. The glove boxes are constructed of stainless steel with acrylic plastic panels. Plastic glove ports are ordinarily cemented to the panels. (M.C.G.)
