PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SELECTION EXPERIENCE MILLSTONE U-3 SPRING 2004 OUTAGE

摘要

Over the past year, Millstone Station we has been evaluating options for our protective clothing program due to an increase in the number of Personal Contamination Events (PCE’s). As a result of the detailed cost evaluations and a review of our PPE program as compared to the industry, Millstone Station moved to a dedicated synthetic coverall inventory with reversible nylon shoes, color-coded rubber shoes and gloves. Additionally, more restrictive automated laundry monitor limits were instituted and all of our old clothing was removed from use. This report outlines the experiences of this transition and highlights the expected and unexpected benefits.
