Diablo Canyon allows the taking of nasal swabs. Typically the worker would do
this, but we have paramedics onsite 24/7 who can assist if necessary. NCRP 161
- Management of Persons Contaminated with Radionuclides: Handbook specifically
discusses their value and methods for taking them.

Duke Energy would appreciate any response you can provide on the following
question. Thanks in advance.
In responding to a potential uptake of radioactive material, do site procedures
allow, or not allow, for collecting nasal swabs on affected personnel?
