personnel will be trained on selection, approval, issue, equipment set-up, operation, and maintenance instructions for the MURUROA Model V4F1 R Suit.

Any defects discovered associated with the suits or their use will be entered into the SNC Corrective Action Program and reported to the manufacturer, as appropriate. Industry notifications will be made through the Operating Experience (OE) Program.

SNC will integrate the manufacturer's recommendations for use and storage of the MURUROA Model V4F1 R Suit into the existing 10 CFR Part 20 compliant respiratory program.

SNC will establish lesson plans to be used to train workers and radiation protection technicians on the MURUROA Model V4F1 R Suit features, donning, use and removal, and use of mouth-strip and tear-off strips for routine and emergency egress.

SNC will follow the manufacturer's instructions for use ensuring that the minimum operating air pressure (2.5 bar) and airflow (450 liters/min) is being supplied to the suits prior to working in them, specifically ensuring that the minimum pressure will be monitored during regular use.

Suits will be designated for single use only and will be used during normal (non emergency) operations. Suits will not be used in environments immediately dangerous to life and health.

2.0 Technical Justification

2.1 Evaluation

SNC has reviewed the following applicable documents:

• General Description of the MURUROA Model V4F1 R Ventilated Suits (Enclosure 5.1) • Eu ropean Standard EN 1073-1: 1998 for Ventilated Protective Clothing (Enclosure 5.2) • Certificate No. 0073/197/162/02/01/0005 for MURUROA Model V4F1 R Issued by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security (Enclosure 5.3) • Test Results Carried Out on the Full Encapsulated Suit MURUROA V4F1 ref. 8481X1T For THE EC Type Examination Certificate No. 0073/197/16211219710028 (Enclosure 5.4) • Donning and Removal Instructions for MURUROA V4F1 R (Enclosure 5.5)

Based on a review of this documentation, the suits represent a better design than the currently approved "bubble hood" and "rain suit" combination and provide better worker protection with the data supporting an APF of at least 5000.

E1-5 Assessment of MURUROA V4F1 R Supplied Air Suits Enclosure 1

A key element of review was application of European Standard and the Certificate by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security the MURUROA The European Standard (Enclosure requires that the suit material be for resistance to abrasion, flex cracking, puncture, blocking, tear and flammability, strength of seams, joints and assemblies, damage resistance of exhaust valves, design flow for pressure range of supplied air, level, and quality of the According to the testing standard, three workers should perform standard exercises, each wearing two different inside a chamber filled with a test agent (Sodium Chloride) le8K8(]eS during exercise regimen lasting 20 minutes. Operating parameters are set manufacturer's instructions. Standard include walking on a treadmill at 2 mph (3 minutes), moving arms up and down above while looking upward (3 minutes) and squatting continuously (3 minutes). To ensure worker's comfort, two additional practical exercises· walking at 2 mph (5 minutes) and loading a bucket with wood from the base a hopper and emptying it into opening on top (15 minutes) - should be performed by two workers at specified airflow rates. Certificate No. 0073/197/162102/01/0005 (Attachment 3) that MURUROA Model V4F1 R passed in all categories tested and provided a protection factor greater 50,000. Test demonstrating that the V4F1 suit provides an average protection (fit factor) of 50,000 is provided in Enclosure 5.4. It should be noted that term "protection factor" used in the European Standard is equivalent to the lim factor" used in United States and is not the same as the Assigned Protection Factor used in 10 CFR

Donning and removal instructions for MURUROA V4F1 R suit are provided in Attachment 5 of this Enclosure.

The NRC approved the use of the MURUROA V4F1 and V4 MTH2R model with an APF of 5,000 for Lucie, Turkey Point, and Seabrook Station on April 8, 2005 [ML050980119]. August 14, 2006, and October 2006, NRC approved the use of the MURUROA R model suit with an APF of 5,000 for Entergy plants [ML062230266 and ML062230281, respectively].
