Due to the risk of employee exposure to airborne radioactive materials and industrial/chemical airborne hazardous materials at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) nuclear plants, we performed this evaluation of the radiological respiratory program. We found the selected respiratory requirements we reviewed for TVA’s Nuclear Power Group Standard Programs and Processes 05.10, Radiological Respiratory Protection Program, were being performed as required at TVA’s nuclear plants. Specifically, we found (1) training and medical evaluations were completed as required, and (2) all plants were meeting requirements for appraising the effectiveness of their Radiological Respiratory Protection Programs.
