Seth, We use Nuclear Power Outfitters (NPO) SAR bubble hoods. Our grade D air is normally supplied by station service air. We use a rental company to provide a regulator system (includes filters and monitors) in conjunction with our service air. Occasionally, we will use a rental compressor and provide additional sampling to ensure it meets the breathing air requirements.

Until recently, we used the plant's service air system to supply breathing air; however, due to a plant modification this was no longer available for use and we have subsequently replaced the plant system with temporary breathing air compressors that are external to the Containment Building. Palo Verde would like to know the following: If you use bubble hoods, what brand / manufacture do you use? What is your source for grade D breathing air, e.g., plant system, compressor, etc.?
