i f 4.5.2.2 (continued) b) Wire Brushing. For use on stainless steel and Ni-Cr-Fe, wire brushes shall be stainless steel not previously used on other materials. Either power or hand brushing is acceptable. power wire brushing shall not preceed an acceptance liquid penetrant examination unless approved. Approval shall be based on an acceptable demonstration that the type of brush zad motor unit to be used does not close defects, i

c) Grinding, Filing. Sweeping, Vacuuming and Air Blowing. Air shall be free of oil. All tools including grinding wheels and files shall be clean prior to use. Abusive grinding where high heat is generated is prohibited.

4.5.3 Water Cleaning. High, and low-pressure water blasting, and water flushing may be used to clean parts and structures providing the following conditions are met:

a) Water shall be in accordance with Paragraph 4.1.

b) Sodium phosphate may be added to the water, if desired. No other additives shall be used unless approved. Where sodium phosphate has been used controls shall be effected to assure removal of the l phosphate prior to velding.

c) The component part of structure shall be dried as soon as practical af ter the wetting operation. Drying may be accomplished by allowing l the part to drain. Areas which will not drain dry shall be dried by wiping with clean cloths, or blowing with oil-free air either heated er ambient.

4.5.4 Solvent Deeressing. Cleaning of acessible surf aces may be accomplished using the following listed solvents. Solvents, other than those listed, shall not.be used. l a) Aca t ene . Technical grade, new or redistilled (Acatone reclaimed by other methods shall not be used). l b) Alcohol. Isopropyl or otherwise denatured, technical grade alcohol.

c) Toluol. Toluol or toluene technical grade. This solvent will remove some tape residues which are not soluble in acetone.

4.5.5 Acid and Chelate Cleaning. No acid or chelate cleaning shall be used unless approved for the specific application.

4.5.6 Alkaline Cleaning. Cleaning solutions which contain free caustic (either l

sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) shall not be used. Tri- Sodium Phosphate Cleaning may be used.  ;

a) Parts may be swab cleaned with hot or cold solutions of tri-sodium phosphate. Phosphata shall be removed from surf aces by rinsing with water af ter cleaning has been accomplished.

j 4.5.7 Det ergent cleaning. Detergent cleaning shall require specific approval.

4.6 Cleanliness Control During Reactor Assembly f

l 4.6.1 Inspection of Items for Installation. All incoming items shall be inspected

) on arrival for condition of the parts and/or its packaging. If the container or packaging is found to be in good condition, inspection of the contents may be done at a later time when they are unpacked for assembly.

4.6.1.1 All internals for the reactor vessel shall be inspected for cleanliness and J

'l cleaned, if necessary, prior to installation in the vessel.

] 4.6.2 Vessel Access. Personnel, tools, and equipment entering the vessel shall be l controlled by a log or register system.

4.6.3 Cleanliness During Assembly. Positive means shall be provided for preventing veld slag, spatter, electrode stubs, toc 4s, dirt, grinding dust, and other such items l

from entering cleaned areas or from entering areas inaccessible for cleaning.

4.6.3.1 Crevices within six inches of flux welding shall be covered to prevent deposition of fumes.

4.6.3.2 The work area inside the reactor vessel shall receive periodic cleaning so that the soils produced during the assembly operation are not allowed to accumulate.

Effert shall be made to localize the soils produced. Cleaning shall include, as a minimum, the removal of all debris and contaminants; a thorough vacuum cleaning cf all l surfaces in the immediate work area including all non-portable tools and construction l

equipment, and if required for renoval of oil, a wipe down with clean, lint-free c1cchs ,

l using an approved solvent. l l

4.6.3.3 As work is completed in specific areas, such areas shall be sealed af ter t

l l

final cleaning when f easible. The method of sealing shall be able to withstand the l

affects of welding and grinding above them and of personnel passage through them, l if required.

l 5. FINAL CLEANING AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA l

5.1 Final Cleaning. After assembly has been completed,the modified components sha21 be visibly free of all soils, miscellaneous materials and other foreign materials.

Slight surface marking due to water evaporation and/or a light coating of phosphate j is permissible, j
