Greetings:
Harris Nuclear Plant allows the use of half-face respirators. Half-face respirators can not be used for protection against airborne radioactive material and Health Physics must approve their use in Radiologically Controlled Areas.

Subject: Half-face Respirator Use
A few questions/poll for NRC and DOE facilities
1) Do you permit the use of half-face respirators?
2) Rad; Non-Rad; Both?
3) Any restrictions on their use for rad, such as: used only for very low
risk jobs; used only if other issues (for example - visibility) are a
concern?
Thank you,
