THAILA GLOVEBOXES

Tender description

UKAEA would like to procure the design, analysis, manufacture, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, Site Acceptance Testing plus support during installation and commissioning of a glovebox experiment designed to prove out tritium analytics in breeder materials. The glovebox will be installed at the Culham Campus. The experiment will need to accurately meter a tritium gas stream, to understand the retained tritium in the breeder. The experiment will also need to design a sampling system to allow the breeder materials to be tested in off-line techniques, such as Liquid Scintillation Counters. Lot 1: The scope of work for the THALIA Design &Build contract will include: Complete design of the THALIA Glovebox experiments, including reviews with UKAEA Engineering team to ensure compliance with the tritium safety processes Procurement of all the equipment required for THALIA Construction of the completed Glovebox This could be onsite at Culham if there are concerns over transporting the Glovebox in its completed state. Transportation of the Glovebox to Culham Campus It is expected that the supplier provides design documentation, maintenance schedules and conformity certificates with all equipment. Where applicable it is expected that equipment supplied to UKAEA is conformity assessed against all relevant legislative requirements and marked accordingly (UKCA marked). Any relevant analysis work under-taken to prove the conformity of the design will be shared with UKAEA. A Factory Acceptance Test will be witnessed by UKAEA staff prior to acceptance of the completed Glovebox experiment.
