I'm not sure what a Savannah River suit is, but when I've done "wet work" in 
the plants, the suit was generally with one of those cheap disposable rain 
suits that you can get at a five and dime.  Of course the plants buy them in 
bulk.      It was worn over the pc's and duct taped at all the end points to 
seal it up.  (I have no idea what nuclear power would do without duct tape!)
   They do of course have a need to buy heavier grade plastic suits, 
depending upon the job scope, and I reckon they get them from one of the 
standard nuclear supply vendors.
