Request for Use of MURUROA Supplied Air Suits Models MTH2 &V4F1 and the MURUROA BLU Suit Systems

USNRC NRC-15-0019 Page 2 Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1703(b), DTE Electric Company (DTE) hereby requests authorization for use of the MURUROA supplied air suits, Models MTH2 and V4F1, and the MURUROA BLU Suit Systems, which have not been tested or certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). These suits have been identified as having benefits from contamination control, heat stress reduction, and respiratory protection viewpoints. Upon Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval, these suits will be included as an option in the Fermi 2 respiratory protection program.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1705, DTE requests an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 5,000 associated with the use of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits. In addition, DTE requests an APF of 2,000 associated with the use of the MURUROA BLU Suit Systems.

The design of all three suits includes two methods to quickly open the suit in order to breathe outside air in the event that a loss of supplied air occurs. The suits will not be used in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health. Therefore, the requirement in 10 CFR 20.1703(f) for standby rescue personnel does not apply to the use of these suits.

These suits were originally manufactured by Delta Protection, a Bacou Dalloz Company; however, since 2013, they have been manufactured by Honeywell Safety Products, Inc. As previously reported to NRC by Southern Company (Reference 2), the change in manufacturer does not impact the manufacturing form, fit, or function of the suits.

On October 27, 2005, Delta Protection submitted a proprietary Topical Report (TR)

(Reference 3) to the NRC requesting approval for the use of MURUROA BLU suit systems. NRC issued the final safety evaluation (SE) (Reference 4) approving use of the MURUROA BLU suit systems with an APF of 2,000 and without the use of standby rescue personnel on April 10, 2006. Delta Protection submitted a final, public version of the TR on July 5, 2006 (Reference 5). On August 18, 2006, NRC staff issued an internal guidance letter (Reference 6) listing 7 commitments for licensees to include in requests for use of the MURUROA BLU suit systems.

As required by NRC staff in Reference 6, the use of the MURUROA BLU suits will be consistent with the limitations delineated in the TR MURUBLU05NP (Reference 3) and the "Approved Device Configurations and Conditions of Use" specified in Section 4.0 of the NRC staff's SE (Reference 4) dated April 10, 2006, for TR MURUBLU05NP. provides documentation supporting this request for the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits.

USNRC NRC-15-0019 Page 3 describes regulatory commitments that DTE has identified for use of all three suits. These actions will be completed prior to use and will be captured in the Fermi 2 Regulatory Action and Commitment Tracking System (RACTS) to ensure and track implementation.

In order to use these suits during the next refueling outage in fall 2015, DTE is requesting approval by June 30, 2015. This will allow time for procedure changes and training to be completed prior to the outage.

Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr.

Christopher Robinson, Licensing Manager at (734) 586-5076.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE 10 CFR 20, Appendix A, Assigned Protection Factors for Respirators, states that an air supplied suit may be used in a continuous-flow mode; however, an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) has not been designated. Footnote (g) indicates that a suit can be used in a respiratory protection program if the minimum program requirements are met, e.g., 10 CFR 20.1703, Use of Individual Respiratory Protection Equipment. 10 CFR 20.1703 states that use of non-National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health (NIOSH) equipment is acceptable only if approved for use by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Since 10 CFR 20, Appendix A does not specify an APF for these air-supplied suits, 10 CFR 20.1705, application for Use of Higher Assigned Protection Factors, requires licensees to submit a request to the NRC in order to use a specific APF.

With regard to precedent, one or both of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits have been accepted by the NRC for many licensees over the past 10 years, including Millstone, VC Summer, Columbia, Cooper, Diablo Canyon, and Callaway as well as for the Exelon, Entergy, Duke, TVA, FirstEnergy, and Southern Nuclear Company fleets. Furthermore, over 60,000 MURUROA suits each year are used in western European nuclear power plants.

1.2 BACKGROUND

1.2.1 Regulatory Requirements DTE Electric Company (DTE) proposes to use the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits manufactured by Honeywell Safety Products, Inc. (previously manufactured by Delta Protection). The change in manufacturer does not impact the manufacturing form, fit, or function of the suits. The purpose of this submittal is to request approval for the use of these particular suits and for authorization to use an APF of 5,000 when using the suits.

The following regulatory requirements are relevant to this request.

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

10 CFR 20.1703(b) states 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 to authorize use of the equipment except as provided in this part.

to NRC-15-0019 Page 3 10 CFR 20.1703(f) requires the use of a standby rescue person whenever one-piece air-supplied suits are used from which an unaided person would have difficulty extricating himself or herself.

10 CFR 20.1705, Application for Use of Higher Assigned Protection Factors, requires that a licensee shall obtain authorization from the NRC before using assigned protection factors in excess of those specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix A.

10 CFR 20, Appendix A, Assigned Protection Factors for Respirators, Item II, atmosphere Supplying Respirators (particulate, gases and vapors), indicates that for a suit in a continuous flow operating mode, no APF is assigned and no NIOSH approval schedule is currently available for the evaluation of such 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.

Based on these regulatory requirements, DTE hereby requests NRC approval for the use of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits without a standby rescue person and requests an APF of 5,000 for these suits.

1.2.2 Suit Construction The MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 Supplied-Air Containment Suit meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8194, Radiation protection - Clothing for protection against radioactive contamination - Design, selection, testing and use, and the European Standard EM 1073-1 Protective Clothing Against Radiation Contamination.

The suits have the following desirable features (Ref. Attachments 1 and 2):

One-piece single use suit that includes integral gloves and booties with tie straps

Made of flexible PVC with reinforced elbows, knees and crotch areas

Dual zippers - metal zipper inside and plastic zipper outside

Clear Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) helmet that provides distortion-free vision and large enough for wearing a headset

Welded sleeve to insert communication cable

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

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

Air intake located at the waist with a built-in regulator that can adjust, but not block, airflow

Two exhaust valves that ensure that suit remains airtight should an event block/pinch the air supply line to NRC-15-0019 Page 4

Low noise level

Air flow to arms, legs, and face Air hoses of any length can be used, but air shall be supplied to the suits at 42 PSI (3 bar) to 85 PSI (6 bar). A regulator at the inlet is used to adjust the airflow. To ensure user safety, the regulator cannot shut off the air supply. There are two patented exhaust valves on the back of the suit, one behind the neck and one at the lower back. The exhaust valves prevent any aspiration of contaminants if supplied air is lost.

The MURUROA suits are approved for use with 16 different fittings in Europe and with Snap-Tit, Schrader, Foster, Hansen and CEJN type fittings, which are commonly used in North America.

1.2.3 Safety Features of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 Suits All MURUROA suit models are lightweight (2.5 lbs), made of fire-retardant material and can be used in temperatures up to 140 degrees F per European Standard EN 1073-1. The suits have built-in gloves, booties with binding ties, and reinforced elbows, knees, and crotch. A transparent helmet with 6 inch X 8 inch clear faceplate provides distortion-free view. Dual magnetic ventilation valves provide needed ventilation and relief of excess pressure in the event the 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 or her face or enlarge the opening to breath outside air.

Alternatively, 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 escape strips make a standby rescue person unnecessary. 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. The ability to eliminate a 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.

The MURUROA suit design does not permit its use in an immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) atmosphere. Suits will be designated for single use only and will be used during normal (non-emergency) operations. DTE plans to use this suit for protection against radioactive particulate contamination only. 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. 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.

to NRC-15-0019 Page 5 1.2.4 Implementation The MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 Suits will be integrated into the existing Fermi 2 radiological respiratory protection program using the manufacturers recommendations. Workers will be trained on the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suit features, donning, use and removal of the suits, cautions and use of the mouth strip and tear off strips for routine and emergency egress.

Radiation protection personnel will be trained on selection, approval, issue, equipment set-up, operation, and maintenance instructions for the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits.

Any defects discovered associated with the suits or their use will be entered into the Fermi 2 Corrective Action Program and reported to the manufacturer, as appropriate. Industry notification will be made through the Operating Experience (OE) Program.

DTE will integrate the manufacturer's recommendations for use and storage of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits into the existing 10 CFR Part 20 compliant respiratory program at Fermi 2.

10 CFR 20.1703(c) (4) (vii) requires, among other things, written procedures governing respirator storage and quality assurance. DTE will implement the provisions in the manufacturers Instructions for Use with the minor clarification that the suits will be inspected and removed from the protective packaging outside of the places radiological controlled areas, in a way that maintains the integrity of the suits but does not lead to the unnecessary generation of solid radioactive waste.

DTE will establish lesson plans to train workers and radiation protection technicians on the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suit features, donning, use and removal, and use of mouth-strip and tear-off strips for routine and emergency egress, such as loss of supplied air.

DTE will follow the manufacturer's instructions for use ensuring that the minimum operating air pressure and airflow is being supplied to the suit prior to working in them, specifically ensuring that the minimum pressure will be monitored during regular use. Air hoses of any length can be used, but air shall be supplied to the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 between 42 PSI (3 bar) to 85 PSI (6 bar). A regulator at the inlet can adjust the air flow from 18 cubic feet per minute (CFM) to 39 CFM. 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.

2.0 TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION 2.1 EVALUATION DTE has reviewed the following application documents, which are included as attachments:

1. General Description MURUROA V4 Fully Enclosed Suit to NRC-15-0019 Page 6

2. MURUROA MTH2 US Instructions for Use

3. MURUROA V4F1 AND MTH2-V4 Instructions for Use

4. European Standard EN 1073-1; 1998 Protective clothing against radioactive contamination

5. Test Results carried out on full encapsulated suits MTH2 and V4F1

6. MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 Certificate No. 0073/197/162/01/96/0001 and Certificate No. 0073/197/162/12/97/0028

7. Instructions for Donning and Removal the MURUROA V4 Fully Enclosed Suit Based on a review of this documentation, the 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 at least 5,000. A key element of this review was the application of the European Standard and the Certificate issued by the Institute for Nuclear Protection and Security for the MURUROA suits. The European Standard (Attachment 4) requires that the suit material be tested for resistance to abrasion, flex cracking, puncture, blocking, tear, and flammability; strength of seams, joints, and assemblies; damage resistance of exhaust valves; design 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 measures the leakages during the exercise regimen lasting 20 minutes. Operating parameters are set to manufacturers 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 (2 minutes). To ensure workers comfort, two 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 airflow rates. Certificate No. 0073/197/162/01/96/0001 and Certificate No.

0073/197/162/12/97/0028 (Attachment 6) state that the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 passed in all categories tested and provided a protection factor greater than 50,000. It should be noted 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.

Donning and removal instructions for the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits are provided in Attachment 7.

The NRC approved the use of the MURUROA V4F1 and MTH2 suits with an APF of 5,000 for many licensees over the past 10 years, including Millstone, VC Summer, Columbia, Cooper, Diablo Canyon, and Callaway as well as for the Exelon, Entergy, Duke, TVA, FirstEnergy, and Southern Nuclear Company fleets.

4.0 CONCLUSION

S DTE requests approval for the use of the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1703(a) and (b), which require use of respiratory protection equipment that is either tested and certified by NIOSH or approved for use by the NRC. Based on a review of industry and manufacturer test documentation, DTE has determined that the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 model air supplied suits offer a safer and more efficient means to protect workers in areas of either high radiological contamination and/or high potential for airborne contamination. Ease of removal of the MURUROA suit provides more desirable self-rescue features. The ability to eliminate a 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.

Additionally, the MURUROA suit provides a means to undress that minimizes the potential for personnel contamination events. Furthermore, the MURUROA MTH2 and V4F1 suits have been designed to handle variable pressures at the inlet thus providing more flexibility of operations during outages.

To ensure proper use of the suits, a list of regulatory commitments has been generated and will be entered into the Fermi 2 Regulatory Action and Commitment Tracking System (RACTS) to track and assure implementation prior to use (see Enclosure 2).

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.

- 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 inunder pressure through abrupt movements. The valves regulate the overpressure inthe 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 incontaminated areas

- Very low noise level

- maximum rate 1050 litres/min. at 4.8 bar.

- that the whole of the intervention is done under supervision (human presence or by audiovisual all the appropriate first aid and rescue equipment is available in case of any incident during means) and that the intervention.

DONNING

- The wearer, assisted by a dresser, makes a visual inspection of the condition of the suit and its components, then removes the transport protection (cardboard on the visor, inside the suit and detachable "crystal" on the visor).

- He pulls on the bottom of the suit via the back closure.

- He connects up to the breathable air network passing his air line through the loop situated at the back of the suit at supply system height.

- The dresser then closes the two zippers and applies a strip of adhesive to the full length of the zippers to ensure they are sealed; he ties the laces of the overboots around the ankles. The suit must be used with textile overboots.

-The wearer checks the air supply, the correct operation of the flow regulator and overpressure valves by crouching rapidly several times.

- He may now enter the work zone.

DOFFING

- The suit can be removed using the strip provided for the purpose. To do this, as the garment is still undresser pulls on the orange strip that runs from one wrist to the other passing over the helmet being supplied with air, the and rolls down the front and back parts of the garment so as to trap the contamination and avoid any contact with the worker.

- In case of need the helmet must be able to be removed rapidly. Beware of any extra devices that may interfere with its removal (external harness, adhesive strips...).

IMPORTANT

-If the garment loses pressure during the intervention, if mist appears inside the helmet or if the worker feels excessively hot, he must leave the work zone immediately.

- Remember that: the suit remains pressurised for a few moments even if the air supply is cut off.

- Protective clothing manufactured to meet Standard EN 1073-1 provides protection against particulate radioactive contamination. This protective clothing does not provide protection against radiation.

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 isgood enough for working inmost 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 5*C (41 "F) or more than 60*C (140*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 ineffect with the use of this suit fed with a sufficient breathable air source with either both persons in it or the second person nearby inview 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.
