Technical Report · Fri Dec 14 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5403953

A walk-through survey of the Northeast Utilities Service Company's Millstone nuclear power facility in Waterford, Connecticut was conducted on August 29, 1979 to determine if the site would be suitable for inclusion in an in-depth epidemiological, industrial hygiene, and medical study of health hazards in the paint industry. The facility presently employs 23 painters. This total probably will increase to 150 during the final years of a construction program. Epoxy paints are the primary type of paint used and these are applied with brushes, rollers and spraying. Because of the highly detailed records kept at the site, and the type of paint used, it is concluded that the facility would be an excellent location to examine the exact exposures to individuals and to associate these exposures with health effects.
