In the new regulation formulated after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, it is demanded that the glove box consists of incombustible or noncombustible materials. However, combustible acryl materials are used for many glove boxes installed in nuclear fuel cycle facilities. In this work, the glove box acryl panel has been replaced to incombustible material with accordance to the new regulation. The new panels have been manufactured by polycarbonate which satisfied the UL94 V-0 incombusti...
