During the tour the inspector found tso abrasive pads in the Unit No. 2 Containment building. On investigating the use of these pads the inspector j
found that these pads were used to clean the exterior of stainless steel l
piping prior to covering with insulation. The inspector gave one pad to APC0 Quality Assurance and the other pad was given to the APCO chemistry and Health Physics Supervisor on unit no. 1.
The C&HP Supervisor conducted a test on the pad to determine the amount of chlorides present. The test revealed that the pad contained 404 ppm chloride.
I APCO construction QA conducted similar tests on the old pad given them and also on a new pad. The results of the test on the new pad was 200 ppm chlorides. APCO QA stated that this is covered in a certain construction QA procedure which covers the exterior cleaning of stainless piping prior to applying insulation. The piping is first cleaned with the pad, washed with demineralized water and then sampled for chlorides on the pipe. This procedure also reference a Westinghouse Specification on cleaning exterior
,
piping. This is open item no. 80-02-02 pending a review of the procedures by the inspector.

IEB 79-15 " Deep Draf t Pump Deficiencies" The subject bulletin required the licensee to determine if deep draft pumps were installed in safety related systems, and, if so, to identify any deficiencies related to the pumps. The inspection verified verbally with the licensee end by review of the licensee's file records that the licensee's response to the bulletin, dated December 18, 1979, was accurate and covered all information requested.
The licensee has initiated corrective action on the river wa'tdr pumps by installing stainless steel piping and a electronic select'ron filter to control the silt and other foreign material in the river water which is used for shaft sealing and motor cooling. Since the installation of the above, it appears that pump problems reported in response to the bul.letin have been decreased significantly. The licensee is considering making the same modification to the service water pumps.
