UF DOCKET NUMBER 50-483 CALLAWVAY PLANT UNIT 1 UNION ELECTRIC CO.

FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-30 REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF DELTA PROTECTION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 20.1703, "Use of Individual Respiratory Protection Equipment," and 10 CFR 20.1705, "Application for use of higher assigned protection factors," Union Electric Company (AmerenUE) is requesting an authorization to use French designed self fed respiratory equipment with an assigned protection factor (APF).

Specifically, AmerenUE has identified the Delta Protection Mururoa BLU self fed single use suits, and Mururoa V4 Fl and V4 MTH2 air supplied single use suits as having benefits from a contamination control, heat stress reduction, and respiratory protection point of view. These suits have no NIOSH approval for use as a respirator in the United States. Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1703(b), AmerenUE must request authorization for use of equipment that has not been tested or certified by NIOSH, or for which there is no schedule for testing or certification. Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1705, AmerenUE 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. Since these suits have no NIOSH approval for use as a respirator in the United States, AmerenUE is requesting authorization for their use as respiratory protection equipment and assignment of a protection factor. Additionally, AmerenUE is requesting exemption from 10 CFR 20.1703(f), which requires provision of the standby rescue persons.

Enclosure 1 provides the documentation supporting this request. As described in the enclosure, approval of the request would improve worker safety in areas of airborne APd a subsidiary otAmeren Corporation

In addition, the full body cooling effect will help us eliminate concerns that have come up in the past outages regarding heat stress. This will result in reduced outage time, as well as the reduction of personal contamination events. This request satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2301 in that it is authorized by law and will not result in undue hazard to life or property. lists AmerenUE's commitments contained in this letter.

Approval of this request will allow AmerenUE to proceed with procedure changes and complete training necessary for the use of the Mururoa model V4 F4, V4 MTH2, and BLU suits prior to our next refueling outage. Therefore, AmerenUE is requesting approval by August 1, 2005 in order to support use during the fall 2005 refueling outage.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE 10 CFR 20.1703(b) indicates that all respiratory equipment that is not certified by NIOSH must be submitted to the NRC for analysis and approval based on quantified test data. 10 CFR 20.1705 requires authorization from the Commission before using Assigned Protection Factor (APF) in excess of those specified in Appendix A.

In addition, 10 CFR 20.1703(f) requires provision of standby rescue persons, whenever an unaided individual would have difficulty in extricating himself or herself from an atmosphere supplying suit.

AmerenUE proposes the use of the Mururoa "fully enclosed suit" models BLU (self fed single use suits), and V4 F1 and V4MTH2 (air supplied single use suits) manufactured by Delta Protection, France. The purpose of this letter is to request approval for the use of the suits from Delta Protection and for authorization to use an APF of 2000 with the Mururoa suits. And, because of the advanced safety features for emergency breathing and emergency escape built into these models, AmerenUE requests approval for the use of the Mururoa suits without dedicated rescue personnel.

1.2 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 1.2.1 Requirements of 10 CFR 20.1703 and Appendix A The following regulatory requirements are relevant to this request.

10 CFR 20.1703, Use of Individual Respiratory Protection Equipment, requires that if a licensee assigns or permits the use of respiratory protection equipment to limit the intake of radioactive material, (a) the licensee shall use only respiratory protection equipment that is tested and certified by NIOSH.

10 CFR 20.1703(b) allows that if the licensee wishes to use equipment that has not been tested or certified by NIOSH, or for which there is no schedule for testing or certification, the licensee shall submit an application to the NRC for authorized use of this equipment.

10 CFR 20.1703(f) requires provision of standby rescue persons, whenever an unaided individual would have difficulty in extricating himself or herself from an atmosphere-supplying suits.

10 CFR 20.1705, Application for Use of Higher Assigned Protection Factors, requires that the licensee shall obtain authorization from the Commission before

ULNRC-05152 Enclosure I Page 3 of 9 using assigned protection factors in excess of those specified in Appendix A to Part 20.

Appendix A, Assigned Protection Factors lists as item II, Atmosphere supplying respirators (particulate, gases and vapors), Suit in a continuous flow operating mode, 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, AmerenUE must obtain approval for the use of the respiratory protection suits and assignment of a protection factor for the suits.

1.2.2 Criteria for Application The NRC has established certain criteria that permit a licensee to request an exemption from regulatory requirements. These criteria are established in 10 CFR 20.2301 and are:

"The Commission may, upon application by a licensee or upon its own initiative grant an exemption from the requirements of the regulations in this part, it is determines the exemption is authorized by law and would not result in undue hazard to life or property."

The NRC has authority under 10 CFR 20.1703(b) and 10 CFR 20.1705 to grant exemptions from the requirements of NRC regulations. Therefore, this requested exemption is "authorized by law", as required by 10 CFR 20.2301. The technical justification demonstrates that there will be no undue hazard to life or property. Several models of the Mururoa suit product line from Delta Protection has been approved for use in commercial nuclear power plants including Duke Energy Corporation by NRC letter dated June 30, 2003 and Exelon Generation Company by NRC letter dated January 31, 2005. In addition, the Mururoa suits have been widely used in western European nuclear power plants for more than 20 years. This equipment is also sold and used in China, South Africa and South America.

2.0 TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION 2.1 SCOPE AmerenUE reviewed the following documents from Delta Protection, France:

(a) Users and Maintenance Guide for the Suits and the Blowing Unit (b) European Standard EN 1073-1 (Attachment 2.5.8)

(c) Test Report #200323085/2120 (Attachment 2.5.3)

ULNRC-05152 Page 4 of 9 (d) Certificate No. for Mururoa BLU suits (e) Technical information on Mururoa V4 model ventilated suits (f) European Standard CEN/TC 162 N 738 for ventilated protective clothing (g) Protection Factor determined during fit test exercises for V4 FI (h) Certificate No. 0073/197/162/12/97/0028 for Mururoa V4 F1 issued by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security (i) User Instructions for Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 (j) Certificate No. 0073/197/162/01/96/0001 issued for Mururoa V4 MTH2 by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security (k) Protection Factor determined during fit test exercises for V4 MTH2 The European Standards (Attachment 2.5.8 and 2.5.10) requires that suit material be tested for resistance to abrasion, flex cracking, puncture, blocking, 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.

According to the testing standard, three workers should perform standard exercises, each wearing two different suits inside a chamber filled with a test agent (Sodium Chloride) and measure the leakages during the exercise regimen lasting 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 head while looking upward (3 minutes) and squatting continuously (3 minutes). To ensure worker's comfort, 2 additional practical exercises - walking at 2 mph (5 minutes) 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 air flow rates.

Test Report No 200323085/2120 (Attachment 2.5.3) states that the Mururoa BLU passed in all categories tested and provided a protection factor greater than 20,000. Certificate No. 0073/197/162/12/97/0028 (Attachment 2.5.12) 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 2.5.14) 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 a review of the manufacturer's documentation, the Mururoa model 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 2000. In addition, the self fed suit will allow the use of advanced protection without the need of supplied air hose lines, which can be cumbersome, and limiting from a performance perspective in various applications.

2.3 DISCUSSION AmerenUE recently had the opportunity to evaluate the information supplied for the Mururoa BLU self fed single use suits, and the Mururoa V4 Fl and V4 MTH2 air supplied single use suits manufactured by Delta Protection, 30200 Bagnols su C'eze, France. The results of the test evaluation have been documented.

2.3.1 Suit Construction The Mururoa model BLU suits meet the European Standard EN.1073-1 and the manufacturer is ISO 9002 certified. The Mururoa models V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 suits meet IS0 81 94 and the European Standard EN.NF 1073-1 and the manufacturer is ISO 9001 certified. The manufacturer indicates that approximately 60,000 Mururoa style garments/suits are used by European Nuclear Power plants each year.

The Mururoa 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) Fire proof (up to 65 deg C)

3) Made of PVC or Ethyfuge (vinyl acetate) 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

ULNRC-05152 Page 6 of 9

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

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

9) Two exhaust valves that provide.ventilation, and also protect from overpressure

10) Very low noise level at maximum air flow

11) Air flow to hands, feet, face and chest.

All the Mururoa suits are designed for single use. The primary applications consist of preventing penetration of solid and liquid particles, radioactive and toxic particles, plus microorganisms. There are two exhaust vents on the back - one behind the neck and one at lower back. The exhaust vents have patented magnetic seals to prevent any entry of contaminants if powered air is lost. The suits are made of non-flammable PVC or polyethylene/vinyl acetate (Ethyfuge) which is fully incinerable. The suits 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 skin. There is a shelf-life of 3 years for the suits and storage between 32 deg F and 140 deg F in original packing is required by manufacturer.

The Mururoa BLU Self Fed single use suit is powered by a Micronel Powered Air Purifying blowing unit. The battery powered blowing unit has the capability to run for a minimum of four (4) hours, while supplying air to the user at 600 L/min or 20 CFM. In addition, the unit can operate at a lower air flow rate of 400 L/min, or 14 CFM for longer periods of time. A warning alarm is present if the units supplied voltage is not reached, or if the airflow is not reaching the minimum required, such as during long usage periods approaching 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> in duration. The battery unit is capable of supporting a minimum of 500 charges. The unit uses four (4) High capacity, high efficiency (HEPA) Pro 2000 filter cartridges "PF10 P3" that are designed for single use. All particle filters have a 10 year shelf life as indicated by the manufacturer. The blowing unit is inserted into a pouch that is inside the suit, thus preventing exposure to contamination. The unit is then connected to an internal distribution network for full body cooling and respiratory protection. Noise level is kept below 75 DB. Air flows through manifolds to the chest, hands and feet.

Air hoses of any length can be used with the Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 single use suits. For the Mururoa model V4 F1 suit breathing air is required at 85 psig measured at the inlet. A regulator at the inlet can adjust the air flow from 41 CFM maximum to 9 CFM at the minimum. The regulator cannot shut off the air supply to ensure user safety.

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.

ULNRC-05 152 Page 7 of 9 For the Mururoa model V4 MTH2 suit breathing air is required at about the same pressure (87 psig) as model V4 F1 suit. The regulator can adjust air flow between 17 CFM to 38 CFM. Noise level varies from 66 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 Mururoa air supplied single use suits are approved for use with 16 different fittings in Europe and can be fitted with Schrader or Foster or CEJN fitting.

2.3.2 Safety Features of Mururoa BLU self fed suits and V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 air supplied suits The Mururoa model BLU, V4 Fl, and V4 MTH2 suits 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 suit is squeezed/pinched unexpectedly. 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.

The Mururoa suit design does not permit its use in an immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) atmosphere. AmerenUE plans to use this suit for protection against radioactive particulate contamination only. The Mururoa suits are 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.

2.3.3 Test Conclusion Based on the information received from the manufacturer, AmerenUE has determined that the Mururoa BLU self fed suits, and Mururoa V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 air supplied 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. The existing rain suits and bubblehoods provide cooling only to the head and force workers to wear the ensemble in a manner that makes self-rescue nearly impossible, thus requiring a rescue worker to be stationed nearby. Ease of removal of the Mururoa suits provides for more desirable self- rescue features, and provides a means to undress that minimizes the potential for personnel contamination events. In addition, the powered air approach enables free and clear movement, thus ridding ourselves of the undesirable task of running hose lines within the work environment.

ULNRC-05 152 Enclosure I Page 8 of 9 2.3.4 Implementation AmerenUE has a respiratory program in full compliance with 10 CFR 20. The Mururoa BLU self fed single use suits, and V4 F1 and V4 MTH2 air supplied single use suits will be integrated into Callaway's respiratory program using the information provided by the manufacturer. Plant procedures will be revised to ensure single use only and appropriate suit disposal after each use. New lesson plans will be developed to train workers on Mururoa suits features, donning, use, removal and disposal after each use, cautions and use of mouth strip and tear off strips for routine and emergency egress. Radiation Protection personnel will be provided additional training for selection, approval, issue, equipment set-up, operation and maintenance instructions for each of the Mururoa suits.

The Mururoa suits safety features, namely the tear-off mouth strip and the emergency tear-off strip, make it unnecessary for any standby rescue person. Further justification for eliminating the rescue person provision include the fact that workers wearing suits are typically under continuous surveillance by Radiation Protection technicians using remote video monitoring or under direct Radiation Protection surveillance at the job location due to radiological conditions. The ability to eliminate the rescue worker is also an ALARA consideration since the work areas where air-supplied suits are used are typically areas with higher radiation and contamination levels. Cavity decon, equipment decon are specifically targeted for the use of the Mururoa BLU self fed single use suit. These areas would benefit by the elimination of air lines, which may be a hindrance to overall outage performance.

AmerenUE will use the Corrective Action Request System (CARS) 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 AmerenUE processes. AmerenUE will be pleased to share this experience with the NRC and other utilities that may be interested in the Mururoa suits. Delta Protection has in place a vendor-user alert system so as to report any deviations, or deficiencies within the product and manufacturing process should they arise. The manufacturer is subjected to checks from the International Product Safety News (IPSN) to insure the product has no risk of injury to the user. A second organization called Quality Service Association (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.

AmerenUE currently uses the bubblehood for jobs involving high potential for skin contamination from discrete radioactive particles and to prevent intake of airborne contaminates. Because the bubblehood covers only the face and torso, workers have to wear protective clothing, 2 pairs of gloves, rubber shoes and cotton booties and tape for

ULNRC-05152 Page 9 of 9 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 should protect the worker much better against facial/skin contamination and airborne radioactivity. Approval of a protection factor of 2000 for the Mururoa suits would allow use of the Mururoa suits in AmerenUE's efforts to control contamination incidents and prevent intakes during operational activities at the Callaway Plant.

2.4 CONCLUSION

AmerenUE requests the approval for the use of the suits as per 10 CFR 20.1703(b) which requires use of respiratory protection equipment that is tested and certified by NIOSH.

Based on in-house test conclusions, and review of manufacturer documentation the plant has 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 10 CFR 20.1703(b), AmerenUE is hereby requesting authorization to use the recently evaluated Mururoa BLU, V4 Fl, and V4 MTH2 respiratory protection suits and equipment that are manufactured in France.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1705, AmerenUE is also requesting authorization to use an APF of 2000 with the Mururoa suits. The review of the manufacturer's documentation has shown that these suits provide better design and protection that supports the requested APF. Additionally, the suits have advanced safety features for emergency breathing and emergency escape. These advanced features allow self rescue during emergencies to be a reasonable expectation. Therefore, AmerenUE is also requesting exemption from IOCFR20.1703(f) in order to use the Mururoa suits without dedicated rescue personnel.

All tests results indicate that this request for exemption is reasonable, is authorized by law, and will not result in undue hazard to life or property

Battery charger warning light displays: Charging Maintaining charge O A battery cannot be used until the warning lights show* Maintaining charge'.

DONNING THE SUIT

- The wearer (of the protective clothing), aided by a dresser, conducts a visual inspection of the condition of the (protective) clothing and Its components, removes the transport protection (cardboard on the visor and Inside the clothing) and the protective film on the visor.

- He then lays the suit out flat and fits the blowing unit as follows:

• Insert the blowing unit In the pocket provided for the purpose

• Connect the pipe of the suit to the output of the blowing unit

- Screw In the 4 filter cartridges and check that they are firmly seated against the blowing unit (for a hermetic seal).

Note: Fit the blowing unit with its fully charged battery (the battery clips Into position under the blowing unit).

Fitting:

- Push back the two lateral stainless steel closures Fit the battery under the bottom of the blowlng unit, pushing In the plug Pull the closures up and push them back towards the middle of the battery to secure the fastening on both sides.

Removal

- Pugl the closures first outwards and then downwards to release the battery.

- He switches on the blowing unit and gets into the lower part of the suit through the opening at the back.

- His dresser then closes the two zip fasteners (sliding fastener + zip fastener) and ensures a hermetic seal by applying adhesive tape over the whole length of the opening. He ties the laces of the overboots round the ankle.

• The wearer makes sure that the air supply, blowing unit and excess pressure valves are working properly by bending down sharply several times.

• He can then enter the area of operations.

DOFFING THE SUIT

• The suit can be removed using the strip provided for the purpose. For this, the suit must still be ventilated. The dresser pulls the blue strip that runs from wrist to wrist over the top of the helmet and rolls both the front and back parts so that the contamination Is inside and cannot come Into contact with the wearer.

- It must be possible to remove the helmet quickly In case of need. Also pay attention to any other devices that could hinder removal of the suit (extemal safety harness, adhesive tape, etc.).

IMPORTANT

- Should the suit begin to lose air, If condensation begins to appear on the visor or the wearer feels unusual warmth, he should leave the area of operations Immediately.

. Remember that the suit remains pressurized for a little while, even after the air supply Is interrupted.

PRO2000 FILTERS

• Particle filters trap wide range of particulate Impurities. e.g. solid particles, smoke, welding fumes.

aerosols, mists. micro-organisms (bacteria and viruses) plus radioactive particles.

Gas fllters protect against hazardous gases and vapours.

Combined filters protect against both gaseous and particulate contaminants.

Features of the particle filter Particleflter element Is made of high-qualitymicrofibre, which, together with accurate manufacturingtechnology, creates an exceptionally uniform filter element structure.

PFIO P3 features a high capacity filter element; trapping even the smallest particles, with an efficiency 99.999 %.

i The filter element is extremely water-repellent.

! The vast Intake area reduces the likelihood of clogging and resistance.

Features of the gas filters Scott utillses superior raw materdal which Is activatedand Impregnated to produce the best performance by Pro2000sflters.

The microporous structure of the carbon consists of minute capillaries, which give the granules an extended area for adsorption.

The gas filter features high retention capacity for a long working life.

Less carbon means lighter filter element and less resistance - a real benefit for the user.

• With a safe margin to EN requirements, Pro2000 gas filters perform effectively using only 220-320 ml of carbon.

.HOW TO SELECT A FILTER?

Will the atmosphere contain sumcient oxygen (21 vol%) throughout the period of exposure?

Which hazardous substances are likely to be present?

Which forms do the airborne contaminants take? Are they particles, gases or vapour or indeed a mixture of these.

What effects can these substances have on the respiratory organs? Special attention Is needed if there are several substances that may Interact. either by reacting chemically, or by having synergistic adverse health effects.

What are the concentrations In the atmosphere?

What are the relevant occupational exposure limits (OEL) or safe exposure levels?

What is the maximum permitted concentration of contaminant when using a full face mask with B2-gas filter?

Contaminant -- Chlorine (C1 2)T r OEL- . - 1 ppm Full face mask with a gas filter has a workplace protection factor of 400, which means that full face mask Is allowed to use in multiples of 400 x OEL concentration.

The max concentration can be calculated: 400 x 1 ppm (Cl 2) = 400 ppm = 0,04 vol.% of chlorine.

PARTICLES Particle filter performance The risk causedby particlesdepends on

• The physical. biological and chemical properties of the contaminant

• Particle size and form Physiological effects of particulates

• Concentration in the ambient air, and exposure time on human body

• Work pace: the more rapid respiration, the more particles are inhaled.

Theparticle filter element employs a number ofmechanisms to remove particlesfrom the air. Minor effects, effect of concentration. e.g.

The basic concept of particle filtration Is similarto that of a sieve. which removes allparticles inert  :<5 mg/rn3 slight irritation, down to a certainparticlesize. Other means Include Impaction, Interception and diffusion. - > 30 mg/M3 high irritation -

HOW LONG FILTER WORKS?

The service life of a filter depends on How to calculate lifetime of a gas filter?

• Concentration and characteristics of the workplace contaminant

• Filter capacity, e.g. filter class, compare workplace concentrations to test values

• Breathing volume and work rate T 1 000 000 x G

• Humidity of the air

• Temperature of the atmosphere VxC Gas filter test performance T - Time In minutes Gas filter lifetime Is tested by directing the test gas through the G - Capacity or the gas filter to absorb Impurities (g) filter at 30 I/min, which Is equivalent to the volume of air per minute used by an average person carrying out medium heavy V - Breathing rate (Vmin) work. The filter lifetime can be roughly calculated by comparing C - Concentration or the contaminant inthe ambient air the concentration at the workplace and the minimum break-through times required for the filter type.

- 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
