Title	The Licensee Violated License Condition 10 Cfr 20.1703(A)
Event Description	On 08/04/04 @ 0900 CDT workers were assigned to perform activities in the High Energy Radiation Cell (HEC) were observed using their new style of powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) in a configuration that is not approved by the manufacturer. The assigned crew, two laborers and a HP Tech, were instructed to pull out of the HEC. The crew spent approximately 15 minutes in the HEC. During the initial fact finding assessment it became evident that the incorrect configuration PAPR was not only restricted to the observed use in the HEC, but had been used periodically for work previously at the facility over the last few months. Individuals were questioned on the performance of prerequisite inspections and checks of the PAPR unit. Individuals stated that they had performed the required face piece fit check (negative pressure method) and flow test of the unit prior to each use. In this improper configuration, the individuals were using uncertified equipment, however, no over exposure is expected to the individuals.
