Testing of Dura-Solution at Comanche Peak n The following test results were performed and recorded by the Comanche Peak Radiation Protection Department for comparison and evaluation of decontamination products and methods. n Dura-Solution was compared to surfactant-based products currently in use in the RCA at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in the reactor cavity de-con evolution and spent fuel pit equipment.

De-contamination of the Unit 2 RX vessel trough using Dura-Solution Cavity Work During 2RF08 Normal Refueling Guide Tube Pin Replacement Mod. RX Vessel Trough De-con §Water and crud was removed (vacuumed) from trough. §Dura-Solution was introduced to trough. §Trough and flange was scrubbed using scrub pads with handles. §Trough and flange was rinsed with water and vacuumed to Lower Internals Storage Area. (LISA). LISA floor was afterward de-conned to 10Kdpm/100cm2 average. Summary of Radiological significance Initial survey 100 to 700 mRad/hr/100cm2 on cavity floor. Initial de-con effort reduced the contamination levels to 400Kdpm/100cm2. The 2 nd De-con effort (mopping of the trough) achieved our goal <100kdpm/100cm2. A rough estimated of 1 man hour and 100mRem was saved. Dura-Solution Decontamination Test in Reactor Cavity at Comanche Peak -2RF08

Conclusion: Westinghouse experienced no personal contamination events during the RX Head tensioning. This was due to reduced contamination levels at the flange and trough area. 2RF08 Cavity de-con was noted by management as excellent.
