Presentation and first outcomes of the FIGARO research program that aims at assessing the airborne release fraction of plutonium dioxide during glove box fires in nuclear fuel fabrication and reprocessing plants

Fires in nuclear fuel fabrication and reprocessing plants can cause the rupture of the glove box (GB) containment with a risk of dispersion of plutonium dioxide (PuO2) within the facility. Fire safety analyses need to assess the resulting radiological consequences to strengthen the appropriate preve...
