During the opening meeting, the inspector discussed die inspection items of the inspection which
included the documentation to be reviewed and the specific areas of the Mill that the inspector
wanted to see during the inspection.
Inspection Summary
The inspection consisted of reviewing the implementation and documentation of the revised (Rev.
9/28/09) Respiratory Protection Program as it pertains to the requirements found in the UAC
R313-15-703 and the NRC Regulatory Guide 8.15 as referenced in 2007 RML renewal. The
inspection included a review of documentation, an inspection of respiratory protection equipment
and facilities, employee interviews, a RSO interview, and a mill tour. The following discussion
provides more detail of the specific items. During the inspection it was observed that the Mill was
using an older version of the Respiratory Protection Program and the inspection was adjusted
accordingly.
«-.*T..^ 1 of Page 4
C:\DOCLlME-lUhullqui\LOCALS-rTaTip\XPgrpwise\lnspcction Report RADMOD-RPP-02 12-2-09 RJ.doc
Item 1, Documentation: The inspector reviewed documents that were associated with the
Respiratory Protection Program. The inspector was able to confirm that all procedures required by
UAC R313-15-703 and NRC Regulatory Guide 8.15 were available at the Mill. The inspector was^
able to verify that training, medical and fit-test records for each respirator user were being
maintained. The inspector verified training records for radiation, safety and environmental
technicians regarding the Respiratory Protection Program. In addition, the inspector reviewed
respirator survey sheets and was able to confirm that they were filled out with all relative
information required and appropriate survey units were being used. Also the inspector reviewed
the Respirator Issuance logs and found them complete and legible. The inspector asked if a copy
of the Respiratory Protection Program was kept in the respirator room and the answer was no. The
inspector asked if there was a list of all qualified respirator users with the size of respirator that
they are fit tested for was kept in the respirator room and the answer was no.
Deficiencies: RML UTl 900479 License Condition 9.6 states "An up-to-date copy of each written
procedure shall be kept in the mill area to which it applies." An up-to-date copy of the Respiratory
Protection Program is not kept in the respirator room. NRC Regulatory Guide 8.15 Section 4.5
Control and Issuance states "Persotmel who issue respirators must ensure that each person issued a
respirator has been medically screened, trained, and (for face-sealing devices) fit-tested within the
period prescribed. Persons may only be issued face-sealing respirators for which they have been fit-
tested (i.e., same make, model, style, and size)." An up-to-date list of all qualified respirator users
at the Mill with fu-test information is not located in the respirator room.
Item 2. Respiratory Protection Program Equipment and Facilities: The inspector inspected
the Mills respirator room. The Mill uses MSA brand full face "Advantage" air purified respirators
with "GME-PI OO" combination cartridges which are NIOSH certified. The inspector asked the
Radiation Coordinator to demonstrate how respirators are decontaminated and surveyed. Dirty
respirators are inspected for damage by radiation technicians, decontaminated using dishwashers
with dishwasher detergent but not taken apart, dried in a respirator drier, cleaned with Fantastic
spray cleaner and a radiological survey is performed with disc smears. The inspector asked if the
radiation technicians used disposable gloves when working in the respirator room, the Mills
radiation coordinator answered yes but the gloves are not kept in the respirator room. The
inspector inspected ten decontaminated respirators for cleanliness and damage. The inspector
reviewed the respirator manufacturer's guidance for decontamination of respirators. The inspector
observed the respirator storage cabinet in the respirator room was kept locked and all
decontaminated respirators and parts were kept inside the cabinet in sealed plastic bags.
The Mill performs two different types of fit-tests on respirator users. The first is a qualitative
"smoke" test which is performed by radiation technicians each time a respirator is issued. The
second is a quantitative "machine" fit test which is performed on all respirator users once a year to
determine the size of respirator each user needs. The inspector observed a "smoke" fit test and
participated in a mock *'machine" fit test. The inspector also observed a Mill employee properly
perform a positive/negative seal check on the respirator that was assigned to him that day.
Deficiencies; When the Inspector inspected the ten respirators it was observed that two respirators
were badly scratched with cracked face shields where the air purifying cartridges are attached. In

Other observations made during the mill tour included:
• Other Alternate Feed materials being stored on the ore pad;
• PPE being wom by Mill workers in the main mill; and
• Archeological and grubbing activities in the area of Cell 4B.
Deficiencies: None

Conclusions and Recommendations
During the close out meeting the DRC inspector made the following recommendations regarding
items for improvement:
1. Additional training for Radiation, Safety and Environmental Technicians on the new
version of the Respiratory Protection Program.
2. Put a copy of the Respiratory Protection Program in the Respirator Room.
3. Put a list of qualified respirator users in Respirator Room with fit-test information,
4. Contact respirator manufacturer (MSA) and obtain written confirmation that using
dishwashers and dishwasher detergent to clean respirators will not degrade or damage
respirators or follow manufacturer's instructions.
RSO committed at the closeout meeting the inspector's recommendations will be completed and
the training will be completed by December 7, 2009. The inspector received documentation fi-om
the RSO that training was completed on December 7, 2009.
Recommendation for Next Inspection
1. Observe ISL material being placed in slit trenches on Tailing Cell #3
2. Employee Exit Monitoring
3. Evaluation of Designated Eating Areas within the Restricted Area
4. Spills (yellowcake and other materials) being cleaned up in the mill immediately

If the licensee or registrant uses respiratory protection equipment to limit the intake of radioactive
material:
(1) Except as provided in Subsection R313-15-703(2). the licensee or regis!rant shall use only respiratory
protection equipment ihat is lested and certified by the National Institute for Occupalional Salely and
Health.
(2) The licensee or registrant may use equipment that has not been tested or certified by the National
Institute tor Occupalional Safety and Health or for which there is no schedule for testing or certification,
provided the licensee or registrant has submiUed to the Executive Secretary and the Executive Secretary
has approved an application for authorized use of that equipment. The application must include a
demonstration by testing, or a demonstration on the basis of reliable test intormalton, that the material and
performance characteristics of the equipment are capable of providing the proposed degree of protection
under anticipated conditions of use.
(3) The licensee or resistianl .'^hall implemenl and maintain a respiratory protection program that includes:

Rapt; 2 ol 16
(a) Air sampling sufficient to identify the potential hazard, permit proper equipment selection, and
estimate doses; and
(b) Surveys and bioassays, as necessary, to evaluate actual intakes; and
(c) Testing of respirators for operability, user seal check for face sealing devices and functional check for
others, immediately prior to each use; and
(d) Written procedures regarding
(i) Monitoring, including air sampling and bioassays;
(ii) Supervision and training of respirator users:
(iii) Fit testing;
(iv) Respirator selection;
(v) Breathing air quality;
(vi) Inventory and control;
(vii) Storage, issuance, maintenance, repair, testing, and quality assurance of respiratory protection
equipment;
(viii) Recordkeeping; and
(ix) Limitations on periods of respirator use and relief from respirator use; and
(e) Determination by a physician pnor to initial fitting of respirators, before the first field use of non-face
sealing respirators, and either every 12 months thereafter or periodically at a frequency determined by a
physician, that the individual user is medically fit to use the respiratory protection equipment; and
(f) Fit testing, with fit factor greater than or equal to ten times the APF for negative pressure devices, and
a fit factor greater than or equal to 500 for positive pressure, continuous flow, and pressure-demand
devices, before the first field use of tight fitting, face-sealing respirators and periodically thereafter at a
frequency not to exceed one year. Fit testing must be performed with the facepiece operating in the
negative pressure mode.
(4) The licensee or registrant .shall advise each respirator user that the user may leave the area at any time
for relief from respirator use in the event of equipment malfunction, physical or psychological distress,
procedural or communication failure, significant deterioration of operating conditions, or any other
conditions that might require such relief.
(5) The licensee or registrant shall also consider limitations appropriate to the type and mode of use. When
selecting respiratory devices the licensee shall provide for vision correction, adequate communication, low
temperature work environments, and the concurrent use of other safety or radiological protection
equipment. The licensee or registrant shall use equipment in such a way as not to interfere with the proper
operation of the rcspirau>r.
(8) The licensee shall ensure that no objects, materials or substances, such as facial hair, or any conditions
that interfere with the face and facepiece seal or valve function, and that are under the control of the
respirator wearer, are present between the skin of the wearer's face and the sealing surface of a tight-fitting
respirator facepiece.
(9) In estimating the dose to individuals from intake of airborne radioactive materials, the concentration of
radioactive material in the air that is inhaled when respirators are wom is initially assumed to be the
ambient concentration in air without respiratory protection, divided by the assigned protection factor. If
the dose is later found to be greater than the estimated dose, the corrected value must be used. If the dose
is later found to be less than the estimated dose, the corrected value may be used.
