Prior to the addition of subsequent layers, the operator shall make necessary adjustments to the welding machine, within the WPS parameters, to correct the problem(s). 8.1.6 Weave width restrictions are to be measured from edge to edge using the guidance found on the WPS. 8.2 GfAW Restriction 8.2.l The GTAW process shall be used with the addition of filler metal only. No "wash" passes are allowed. 8.2.2 Due to the nature of the helium backfill process, a maximum of2.4% hydrogen and up to I OOo/o helium backing gas may be present on the backside of the weld joint. 8.2.2. l Even though the intent is not to purge the backside of the weld joint, due to the nature of the cask, there may be air, hydrogen, helium or a combination on the back side of the joint. 8.3 Preparation of Base Materials 8.3. l All surfaces to be joined by welding shall be brought into the joint configuration shown on design drawings, weld data sheets, or specifications. The joint details shown on the WPS are for illustrative purposes only. 8.3.2 End preparations shall be prepared to bright metal and should be made by machining, grinding, sawing, shearing, etc ... 8.3.3 After acceptable end preparations have been made, the surfaces shall be protected from damage if they are not immediately welded. 8.3.4 All the weld joints shall be protected from non-radiological contamination and from rain, snow, and winds, prior to and during welding. Welding shall not be performed on wet surfaces. Page6 of29 Spent Fuel Cask Welding -o1BT/BTH NUHOMS Canisters 12751-MNGP-OPS-01, REV 0 8.3.5 All surfaces to be joined by we)ding shall be cleaned prior to welding within a minimum of one inch on either side of the weld. Either a mechanical method or a solvent method or both shall remove paint, oil, rust, grease, scale or other harmful material. 8.3.6 Mechanical Cleaning Method A. Grinding, machining, filing, deburring, sanding, wire brushing, etc. shall be used to clean the joint surfaces of al) contaminants. All grinding whee)s shall be made of a resin or rubber-bonded alumina or silicon carbide compound. Wire brushes shall be made of Stainless Steel. B. Caution shall be exercised not to reduce the wall thickness or joint configuration when mechanical cleaning is employed.
