Re: Ohio Nuke plant inadequately checked

[willim01@mskcc.org]

The company said it has made changes to how it judges 

radiation levels inside the plant and now requires all 

workers who go inside the steam generator to wear 

respirators. 

     

     I guess this would make sense if the workers were ingesting the 

     contamination and turning it out the other end in their hotel rooms.  

     I don't know what respiratory protection has to do w/ a RPP not 

     finding contamination on personnel.  Examples of barriers that should 

     be in place, hot particle checks, IPMs, investigating IPM alarms, exit 

     WBCs, portal monitors, history, etc.

     my ramblings only...
