Palo Verde provides the following response:
1. Does your facility use the Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) chemical to perform filter integrity tests on HEPA's and vacuums that contain a HEPA filter on a scheduled rotation? No. 2. If you do not use DOP, what testing do you use and why? No testing is performed. 3. Does your facility issue vacuums with HEPA filters by a written check out system and maintain them locked when not in use? Yes. 4. Does your facility use locking devices or seals that would give evidence that the vacuum containing a HEPA filter had been opened or the filter tampered with? No. ********************************************************************** Seth J. Kanter, CHP, RRPT Sr. Health Physicist Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Mail Sta. 7397 5801 S. Wintersburg Rd.
