Prophylactic decon

[Jack_Earley@RL.GOV]

Does anybody have any data on the effectiveness of a demin water rinse

before submerging a SS (125 RMS) cask into a contaminated pool? Anecdotal

evidence indicates pre-rinsing results in lower airborne contamination when

the cask is removed from the pool, if the cask is submerged for one shift (8

hours) or less.
