Attn: Document Control Desk 10 CFR 20.1705 Washington, DC 20555 RE: Florida Power and Light Company St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC Seabrook Station Docket No. 50-443 Request for Use of Higher Assigned Protection Factors Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1705 with Use of French Designed Air Supplied Respirator Equipment Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 20.1705, "Application for use of higher assigned protection factors," Florida Power and Light Company (FPL), the licensee for the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4, and FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC (FPL Energy Seabrook) the licensee for Seabrook Station hereby request authorization to use French designed air supplied respiratory equipment with an assigned protection factor.

Specifically, pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1705, FPL must obtain authorization from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission before using assigned protection factors in excess of those specified in Appendix A of 10 CFR 20. Appendix A to 10 CFR 20 specifies that an air-supplied suit may be used in continuous flow mode at a licensee's facility, but without using an assigned protection factor. Since these suits have no assigned protection factor, FPL1FPL Energy Seabrook are requesting authorization for their use as respiratory protection equipment with a protection factor of 5000 based on a fit factor of 50,000 per the manufacturer's testing results (attached). NIOSH approval for these air-supplied suits is not required per the provisions of 10 CFR 20, Appendix A, Footnote "g". Based upon easy egress from the suits, and their prohibited use in immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) environments, FPUFPL Energy Seabrook does not plan to provide standby rescue persons when this equipment is used.

By letter dated March 4, 2003, as supplemented by letter dated May 1, 2003, Duke Energy Corporation requested authorization (1) to use French designed respiratory protection equipment that has not been tested and certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, (2) to not provide standby rescue persons whenever this equipment is used, and (3) to take credit for an assigned protection factor of 2000 for this equipment. By letter dated June 30, 2003, the NRC staff concluded that authorization of the three requests were acceptable, and within the provisions of Title. 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20.

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook, Docket No. 50-443 L2004-232, Page 2 The enclosed FPUFPL Energy Seabrook request includes supporting documentation that is similar, to the information provided by Duke Energy Corporation in their request. The FPUFPL Energy Seabrook request differs from the Duke Energy Corporation request in that FPUFPL Energy Seabrook is requesting authorization to use French designed air supplied respiratory equipment with an assigned protection factor of 5000.

The enclosure provides the documentation supporting the FPUFPL Energy Seabrook authorization requests. As described in the enclosure, use of the French designed air supplied respiratory equipment would improve worker safety in areas of airborne radioactivity and in areas with a high potential for facial/skin contamination from discrete radioactive particles.

FPUFPL Energy Seabrook has identified the following respiratory protection program elements and controls associated with approval of this authorization request.

1. Prior to use, the Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 suits will be integrated into FPUFPL Energy Seabrook respiratory protection programs, using the information provided by the manufacturer.

2. Prior to use, new lesson plans will be developed to train workers on Mururoa's features, donning, use and removal, cautions and use of mouth strips and tear off strips for routine and emergency egress.

3. Prior to use, Health Physics personnel will be provided additional training for selection, approval, issue, equipment set-up, operation and maintenance instructions for the Mururoa suits.

4. Mururoa suits will not be used in IDLH environments.

Florida Power & Light Company would like to begin using the Mururoa V4 F4 and V4 MTH2 suits during the April 2005, Turkey Point Unit 4 refueling outage. Therefore, FPUFPL Energy Seabrook is requesting the subject authorization by April 1, 2005.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) and FPL Energy Seabrook, request NRC authorization (1) to use and take credit for, the protection provided by two French designed air supplied respiratory protection suits during normal (non-emergency) operation, and (2) to take credit for an assigned protection factor of 5000.

The suits are manufactured by Delta Protection, 30200 Bagnols su C'eze, France, and are identified as Mururoa V4 F1 and Mururoa V4 MTH2. Both models are single-use suits (a suit that is disposed of after one use). Florida Power & Light and FPL Energy Seabrook, propose to use the suits in the approved configurations relative to the suits' form, fit, and function.

This enclosure provides evidence that the material and performance characteristics of the Mururoa suits are capable of providing the proposed degree of protection under anticipated conditions of use. This is demonstrated on the basis of reliable test information.

1.2 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 1.2.1 Requirements of 10 CRF 20.1705, and Appendix A to Part 20 The following regulatory requirements are relevant to this request.

10 CFR 20.1705, Application for Use of Higher Assigned Protection Factors, requires that the licensee shall obtain authorization from the Commission before using assigned protection factors in excess of those specified in Appendix A to Part 20. The Commission may authorize a licensee to use higher assigned protection factors on receipt of an application that -

(a) Describes the situation for which a need exists for higher protection factors; and (b) Demonstrates that the respiratory protection equipment provides these higher protection factors under the proposed conditions of use.

Appendix A to Part 20, Assigned Protection Factors, lists as item 11,Atmosphere supplying respirators (particulate, gases and vapors), "Suit" in a continuous flow operating mode, with reference to Note "g". Note "g" states: "No NIOSH approval schedule is currently available for atmosphere supplying suits. This equipment may be used in an acceptable respiratory protection program as long as all the other minimum program requirements, with the exception of fit testing, are met (i.e., 10 CFR 20.1703)."

Therefore, based on the above requirements, FPL and FPL Energy Seabrook request authorization to use the Mururoa respiratory protection suits and to take credit for an a assigned protection factor of 5000 for this equipment.

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook Station, Docket No. 50-443 L-2004-232, Enclosure, Page 4 of 8 2.0 TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION 2.1 SCOPE 2.1.1 Situation for Which a Need Exists for Higher Protection Factors Florida Power & Light and FPL Energy Seabrook currently use bubblehoods for jobs involving high potential for skin contamination from discrete radioactive particles and to prevent intake of airborne contaminants. Because the bubblehood covers only the face and torso, workers have to wear additional protective clothing, two pairs of gloves, rubber shoes and cotton booties and tape for sealing. Chances of cross contamination during undressing/exit from contaminated areas are high. The Mururoa suits offer a better alternative (with their unitized construction and ease of removal) and will protect the worker much better against facial/skin contamination and airborne radioactivity. Approval of a protection factor of 5000 for the Mururoa suits would allow use of the Mururoa suits in FPL's and FPL Energy Seabrook's efforts to control contamination incidents and prevent intakes during operational activities at St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, and Seabrook Station.

2.1.2 Demonstration that the Respiratory Protection Equipment Provides these Higher Protection Factors under the Proposed Conditions of Use.

FPL reviewed the following documents from Delta Protection, France:

(a) Technical information on Mururoa V4 model ventilated suits (Attachment 1)

(b) European Standard EN 1073-1 for ventilated protective clothing (Attachment 2)

(c) Protection Factor determined during fit test exercises for V4 F1 (Attachment 3)

(d) Certificate No. 0073/197/162/12/97/0028 for Mururoa V4 F1 issued by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security (Attachment 4)

(e) Donning and Removal Instructions for Mururoa V4 F1 (Attachment 5)

(f) Certificate No. 0073/197/162/01/96/0001 issued for Mururoa V4 MTH2 by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security (Attachment 6)

(g) Protection Factor determined during fit test exercises for V4 MTH2 (Attachment 7)

(h) Donning and Removal Instructions for Mururoa V4 MTH2 (Attachment 8)

The European Standard (Attachment 2) requires single-use suit materials to be tested for resistance to abrasion, puncture, tear and flammability, strength of seams, joins and assemblies, damage resistance of exhaust valves, designed flow rates for pressure range of supplied air, noise level and quality of the visor. The protection factor (average inward leakage or fit factor) is measured according to draft prEN 941-1 (Annex A). According to the testing standard, test subjects perform standard exercises inside a chamber filled with a test agent (Sodium Chloride). Inward leakage is then calculated during an exercise regimen lasting approximately 20 minutes. Operating parameters are set to manufacturer's instructions.

Standard exercises include walking on a treadmill at 2 mph (3 minutes), moving arms up and down above the head 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)

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook Station, Docket No. 50-443 L-2004-232, Enclosure, Page 5 of 8 and loading a bucket with wood chips from the base of a hopper and emptying it into the opening on top (15 minutes) - should be performed by two workers at specified airflow rates.

Certificate No. 00731197/162/12/97/0028 (Attachment 4) states that the Mururoa V4 F1 passed in all categories tested and provided a protection factor greater than 50,000. Certificate No.

0073/197/162/01/96/0001 (Attachment 6) states that the Mururoa V4 MTH2 passed in all categories tested and provided a protection factor greater than 50,000. Please note that the term 'protection factor' used in the European Standard is equivalent to the 'fit factor' used in the United States and is not the same as the Assigned Protection Factor used in 10 CFR 20.

Based on FPL and FPL Energy Seabrook review of the manufacturer's documentation, the Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 suits represent a better design than the currently approved "bubble hood" and "rain suit" combination and provide better worker protection with data supporting an assigned protection factor of 5000.

The Mururoa suit's design does not permit its use in an immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) atmosphere. Florida Power & Light Company and FPL Energy Seabrook, plan to use these suits for protection against radioactive particulate contamination only. The Mururoa suit is also not designed for use with any personal cooling units such as a Vortex tube, but can be used with a cooling vest supplied by the manufacturer, if desired.

2.2 DISCUSSION Evidence that the material and performance characteristics of the Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 encapsulated single use suits are capable of providing the proposed degree of protection under anticipated conditions of use is provided in Attachments 1 through 8. A summary of material and performance characteristics follows.

2.2.1 Suit Construction The Mururoa suit models V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 meet ISO 8194, European Standard EN 1073-1, and the manufacturer is ISO 9001 certified. The manufacturer indicates that approximately 60,000 Mururoa garments/suits are used by European Nuclear Power plants each year.

The Mururoa single use suits have the following desirable features that are not available in the "bubblehoods" and "rain suits" manufactured in the United States:

1) One piece single use suit that includes welded gloves and booties with tie straps

2) Fireproof (up to 65 deg C)

3) Made of PVC or Ethyfuge with reinforced elbows, knees and crotch areas.

4) Dual zippers - metal zipper inside and plastic zipper outside

5) Helmet made of clear PVC material that provides distortion-free vision and large enough for wearing a headset

6) Welded sleeve to insert communication cable

7) A removable strip near the mouth that could be used for emergency breathing in case of loss of supplied air

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook Station, Docket No. 50-443 L-2004-232, Enclosure, Page 6 of 8

8) An egress strip stretching from the left arm, over the head, to the right arm that is used for undressing and for self-rescue in an emergency, such as loss of supplied air

9) An air intake located at the waist with a built-in regulator that can adjust, but not block, air flow

10) Two exhaust valves that provide ventilation and also protect from overpressure

11) Very low noise level at maximum air flow

12) Air flow to hands, feet, face and chest Air hoses of any length can be used, but air shall be supplied to the Mururoa suit (model V4 Fl) at 85 psig measured at the inlet. A regulator at the inlet can adjust the air flow from 43 CFM maximum to 19 CFM at the minimum. To ensure user safety, the regulator cannot shut off the air supply. Noise level is kept between 76 dB at maximum air flow to 58 dB at minimum air flow.

Air flows through manifolds to the chest, hands and feet. There are two exhaust vents on the back - one behind the neck and one at the lower back. The exhaust vents have patented magnetic seals to prevent any aspiration of contaminants if supplied air is lost. The suit is made of non-flammable PVC, but should not be brought in direct contact with any material colder than 41 deg F or hotter than 140 deg F. Open flames or sparks could melt or perforate the suit.

There is a shelf-life of 3 years for this suit and storage between 32 deg F and 140 deg F in original packing is required by manufacturer. The Mururoa is approved for use with 16 different fittings in Europe and can be fitted with Schrader, Foster, CEJN, or Hansen fittings used at St.

Lucie Units 1 and 2, Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and the Seabrook Station.

The Mururoa suit model V4 MTH2 is made of Ethyfuge material which is fully incinerable. This material is more flexible than the PVC used in V4 Fl. It is constructed the same way as the V4 Fl. Breathing air is required at about the same pressure (85 psig). The regulator can adjust air flow between 19 CFM and 43 CFM. Noise level varies from 58 dB at minimum air flow to 76 dB at maximum air flow. There are two additional air vents near the chin for cooling the face. The suit is also fire-retardant and can be used in ambient temperatures up to 140 deg F. Storage requirements are the same as the V4 Fl. These suits are also available with multiple fittings.

2.2.2 Safety Features of V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 Models Both Mururoa suit models are light-weight (2.5 Ibs), made of fire-retardant material and can be used in temperatures up to 140 deg F. Contact with open flames or grinding/welding sparks is prohibited. Built-in gloves, booties with binding ties, reinforced elbows, knees and crotch protect against accidental tear, puncture and cracking. A transparent helmet with 6" X 8" clear face plate provides distortion-free view. Dual magnetic ventilation valves provide needed ventilation and relief of excess pressure in case the suit is squeezed/pinched unexpectedly. Noise level at maximum air flow is less than 80 dB. Length of air hose supplying Grade D breathing air is not stipulated, but the pressure of air at the inlet is required to be 85 psig for V4 F1 and for V4 MTH2. Air flow can be adjusted by the user for his/her comfort, but cannot be shut off. In case of loss of air, the user can remove the mouth strip and move the opening close to his face, or enlarge the opening, to breathe outside air. Alternately, the user can pull the escape strip from either forearm, over the head and towards the other forearm, and rip the suit in two halves. This escape strip is normally used for egress from the suit when the work activity has been completed.

St. Lucie Units I and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook Station, Docket No. 50-443 L-2004-232, Enclosure, Page 7 of 8 2.2.3 Implementation Florida Power & Light Company and FPL Energy Seabrook have respiratory protection programs in full compliance with 10 CFR 20. The Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 suits will be integrated into FPL's respiratory program using the information provided by the manufacturer.

New lesson plans will be developed to train workers on Mururoa's features, donning, use and removal, cautions, and use of mouth strip and tear off strips for routine and emergency egress.

Health Physics personnel will be provided additional training on selection, approval, issue, equipment set-up, operation and maintenance instructions for the Mururoa suit.

The Mururoa suit's safety features, namely the tear-off mouth strip and the emergency tear-off strip, make it unnecessary for any standby rescue person. However, workers wearing air-supplied suits are typically under continuous surveillance by Health Physics technicians using remote video monitoring, or under direct Health Physics surveillance at the job location due to radiological conditions. Additionally, in many cases, workers are in direct contact with Health Physics and Steam Generator support personnel via audio headsets. The ability to eliminate the standby rescue person is also an ALARA consideration since the work areas where air-supplied suits are used are typically areas with higher radiation and contamination levels.

Steam Generator platform work, reactor head work, cavity decontamination, and equipment decontamination are specifically targeted for the use of the Mururoa suit. Florida Power & Light and FPL Energy Seabrook will use the Condition Report (CR) process to document any unexpected problems and track corrective actions taken. Problems associated with the suits will be communicated to the manufacturer to ensure that operating experience is shared with other users. A relationship with the manufacturer will also be developed that allows operating experience from other users to be incorporated into FPL and FPL Energy Seabrook, processes.

Florida Power & Light and FPL Energy Seabrook, will be pleased to share this experience with the NRC and other utilities that may be interested in the Mururoa suit. Delta Protection has in place a vendor-user alert system so as to report any deviations, or deficiencies with the product and manufacturing process should they arise. The manufacturer is subjected to checks from the IPSN to insure the product has no risk of injury to the user. A second organization called ASQUAL performs annual inspections of the factory to certify that the product manufactured is of the same quality approved by the IPSN Notified Body. Several destructive/non-destructive tests are performed by the manufacturer for each order received from clients. Any defects reported by clients, investigations and corrective actions are documented. Customers are notified of any problems and products are recalled if necessary. This information is made available to ASQUAL for their annual inspections.

2.3 CONCLUSION

Florida Power & Light and FPL Energy Seabrook, request authorization, pursuant tol 0 CFR 20.1705, to use French designed respiratory equipment with an assigned protection factor of 5000. Based on reliable test information discussed earlier in this enclosure, FPL and FPL Energy Seabrook have determined that the Mururoa suits offer a safer and more efficient means to protect workers in areas of high radiological contamination and in areas where there is a potential for airborne contamination. Pursuant to 10CFR20.1705, FPL and FPL Energy

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Seabrook Station, Docket No. 50-443 L-2004-232, Enclosure, Page 8 of 8 Seabrook are requesting authorization to use an assigned protection factor of 5000 with the Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 respiratory protection suits. Testing and associated manufacturer's documentation has shown that these suits provide design and protection considerations that support the requested assigned protection factor.

VENTILATION / EXHAUST In the supplied-air Mururoa suit, the ventilation system is composed of

- An airflow control valve, preset to a minimum flow of 250 litres/minute (9 CFM) at 3 bar (42 PSIG), located on the right hip and covered with a protection flap. This flow can be adjusted, from 250 to 1150 litres (9 CFM to 41 CFM) per minute. 1150 litres is obtained with the tap fully opened at the feeding pressure of 6 bar (85 PSIG) (refer to graph in annex 11).

- A silencer bag which attenuates the noise level less than 58 dBa at 250 litres/minutes to 76 dBa at 1150 litres/minute.

- A manifold system welded to the suit and distributing the air to the helmet, the legs and the arms.

- An exhaust by two world patented valves placed in the helmet and in the back. These valves ensure a remarkable airtight seal in case of accidental air-feed cut off, or when putting the suit in under pressure through abrupt movements. The valves regulate the overpressure in the garment between 3 mbar (0.042 PSIG) and 10 mbar (0. 142 PSIG) for supply air pressure between 3 bar (42 PSIG) and 6 bar (85 PSIG)

- The benefits of this system are

- High heat removal through superior airflow

- Non irritating diffuse ventilation

- Resistance free breathing

- High level of comfort for long and strenuous jobs in contaminated areas

- Very low noise level

5.1.3 Visual inspection A visual inspection shall be carried out by the test house prior to the laboratory or the practical performance test. This may entail a certain amount of dismantling of the components of the protective clothing in accordance with the manufacturer's information for maintenance.

5.1.4Preconditioning for the practical performance test If the manufacturer does not state the preconditioning atmosphere for the practical performance test, the complete clothing shall be exposed:

a)for 4 h to a temperature of (-30 +/- 3) "C and allowed to return to ambient conditions, followed by b)for 4 h to an atmosphere of (60 +/- 3) "C at 95 % relative humidity. It shall then be allowed to return to ambient temperature.

6.2 Practical performance test 5.2.1 General The tests shall be carried out by two test persons at (20 +/- 5) "C and a relative humidity of less than 60 %. The test temperature and humidity shall be recorded. The background noise shall not be greater than 75 dB(A).

The test persons shall be selected who are familiar with using such or similar protective clothing. The persons will be drawn from those people certified as fit to do so by the medical officer. The necessity of a medical examination before or supervision during the tests shall be at the testing officers discretion.

Prior to the test there shall be an examination that the suit is in working-condition and that it can be used without danger. If more than one size of clothing is manufactured the subjects are asked to select the appropriate size. Ensure that the air supply is within the specified parameters. Two suits shall be tested, each being tested on one test person.

After fitting the suit each test person is asked "Does the suit fit?". If the answer is "Yes", continue the test. If the answer is "No", replace the test person or the suit.

5.2.2 Procedure During the test the following activities shall be done in simulation of the practical use of the suit:

a) the test shall be completed within a total working time of 20 min b) walking on the level with regular rate of 5 kmlh for 5 min

Page 9 EN 1073-1 :1998 c) filling a small basket (see figure 1, approximate volume 8 1)with 12 mm chippings (e.g. limestone chippings) or other suitable material from a hopper which stands 1,5 m high and has an opening at the bottom to allow the contents to be shovelled out and a further opening at the top where the chippings may be returned. The person stoops or kneels as he wishes and fills the basket with chippings. He then lifts the basket and empties the contents back into the hopper. This shall be repeated 1 5 to 20 times in 10 min .

Figure 1: Hopper and basket 5.2.3 Information to be recorded During the practical performance test the clothing shall be subjectively assessed by the wearer and the following shall be recorded:

a)harness comfort (see 5.6);

b)security of fastening and couplings; c) accessibility of controls and pressure gauge (if fitted);

d)clarity and field of vision from the facepiece and/or visor; e)clothing comfort; f) ease of speech transmission; g) any other comments volunteered by the wearer.

5.3Measurement of minimum and maximum air flow rate Connect the ends of the distribution system collectively to a suitable measuring device. Record the maximum air flow delivered at the manufacturers' specified air supply, if a control valve is fitted, record the maximum delivered air flow and the minimum delivered air flow.

The value of minimum and maximum air flow rate shall be determined under the condition of exercise 6 of Annex A (person standing still).

5.4Determination of the protection factor The protection factor shall be determined in accordance with prEN 943-1. Sodium chloride test method shall be used. Activity sequences for testing are given in Annex A of this standard.

The determination has to be done at the minimum design air flow rate (see 4.8).

On two test subjects four new suits shall be tested. Two suits per test subject.

Page 10 EN 1073-1 :1998 For each individual test calculate the arithmetic mean over the time period. Calculate the percentage inward leakage (IL) as follows: -

IL = Cqx 100%

C1 where:

C, is the challenge concentration in the test chamber, C2 is the mean concentration in the breathing zone for each exercise. For classification according to table 2, the average value for the four suits shall be taken.

5.5 Join and assemblage pull test Assemble the means of attachment according to the manufacturers' information. If the assembled item (e.g.

glove or boot) is itself not strong enough to apply the required pull substitute an item that is. Securely attach one part to a fixed clamp. Apply the required force longitudinally. Record at which force it parts or state that at the required force it was still complete.

5.6 Exhaust device pull test Mount the suit on to a dummy torso which can be adjusted so that the load can be applied axialiy to the exhaust device. A system of retaining straps or bands is fitted over the suit around the exhaust device so that the load is applied as directly as possible to the fitting of the exhaust device in the suit.

Exert a force of (50 +/- 2,5) N to the exhaust device and hold for 10 s. Repeat 10 times.

Examine the exhaust device for signs of damage or failure.

_ FOR DONNING AND DATE DAPPLICATION :06/09/01 REMOVAL THE MURUROA V4 FULLY ENCLOSED SUIT I DELTAC04 PROTECTION 66 89 18 36 PAGE :2/5 FOREWORD The Mururoa suit is a fully enclosed supplied-air suit; designed for protecting the wearer against radioactive contamination brought about by contact with liquid or solid substances or by atmospheric pollutants such as solid particles, mist gases or vapors.

Made of non-flammable PVC sheet its mechanical and chemical resistance is good enough for working in most of the nuclear environments, acids, bases or low concentration solvents.

Caution should always be used around sharp edges and tools to avoid tearing of the Mururoa.

Contact with open flames or grinding spark ray for instance must be avoided to prevent perforation by melting of the PVC skin.

At any time: avoid direct contact with objects less than 50C (410F) or more than 600C (1400 F) temperature. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to qualify, by preliminary test, the ability of the suit to protect the wearer against the harmful atmosphere in each specific environment CAUTIONS

1) Care must always be taken due to the asphyxiation hazard.

2) The buddy system must be in effect with the use of this suit fed with a sufficient breathable air source with either both persons in it or the second person nearby in view with a particulate respirator ready.

3) Suit removal under ordinary circumstances requires an assistant.

4) Thorough knowledge of the safety features of the Mururoa are essential for safety!

a) a safety strip for breathing can be pulled open should air supply be restricted.

b) a safety strip for suit egress in an emergency is available by using pull tab on each elbow.

c) do not over tighten any tape applied to the suit as it will prevent rapid suit removal.

5) An air supply of 1 to 3 minutes exists inside the suit should the air supply fail.

During that time, due to the magnetic exhaust valves, the garment will remain overpressurised, avoiding penetration of harmful atmospheres as long as portions of the remaining air have not been forced out of the suit such as if the wearer bends over and forces air out the discharge valves.

1) Review the safety features of the Mururoa with the accompanying assistant and compare with the job scope.

2) The package containing the Mururoa must have been kept 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months or more at a temperature around 20'C before being opened and the devices manipulated.

3) Near the job site remove garment from the bag, shake open and inspect for obvious defects.

4) Inspect the emergency egress strip to ensure that the strip can be removed easily if desired.

5) Remove the cardboard and the clear plastic faceplate protector. Remove the paper sheet placed in the head position. Discard these.

6) In the donning and removal area, verify that the local breathable air supply is working properly.

7) Connect the garment to the local air supply with a flexible hose. Take care that the hose goes through the throttle valve by using the loop at the back right side of the suit.

8) Don the suit from the back with the help of the assistant. Connect the MURUPHONE phonic system if used and check.

9) Bind the shoe joints with the shoe strips and apply tape, if necessary, to the suit gloves.

10) Zip up the mechanical zip.

11) Zip up the external plastic gas sealing zipper when the suit is inflated.

Apply an adhesive tape of sufficient width on the second zip-fastener to be shure no leak occurs.

12) Check the air supply valve and adjust to the desired flow for comfort.

13) Perform several crouching exercises to ensure the exhaust valves work; the air source is sufficient to recharge the suit to its full volume quickly and to check for leaks.

14) Proceed to the job site and begin to work. You can disconnect the hose from the air line, and travel from the donning area to the working area to reconnect your suit at the step off pad; after having insured the air source in the working area is well fed and if the time, disconnected is not more than a few dozen of seconds.

15) Comfort in breathing and in temperature can be maintained. by adjusting the air inlet regulating valve during work.

CAUTION Should the Mururoa feel hot, deflate, or if fog appears on the faceplate, leave immediately and quietly the working area and contact your assistant for suit removal.

Remember:

1) The air supply of 1 to 3 minutes exists inside the suit after breaking of air supply feeding.

2) The suit emergency strips are there for your use if needed.
