Here is my take: * We maintain respirators in our survey vans (full face). * Every RP Tech and OSC member is required to be mask fitted and respirator qualified (including the survey van driver) to be on the ERO. * The respirator does offer protection that COULD be used in lieu of restricting access for FMT due to DAC or iodine and COULD preclude administering KI. So I don't see us making a change but I am curious in other responses.

I am beginning to pull together a Position paper on this topic and would love to hear from other utilities that have traveled this path. Currently, the Exelon Nuclear utilities do NOT have their FMTs use respirators and I am reaching out to see if others in the nation have followed. You can contact me personally at the number below if needed. Thanks, Edwin (Eddie) M.
