  Wolf Creek uses Master lee.   They use a Baron flange cleaner, that they also use at DC Cook.

Hope this helps,

Good Moring All,
I hope everyone is finished with their outage, but I have some questions.

What is your process for cleaning the reactor vessel flange prior to setting the reactor head?  Clean underwater? Employ a flange cleaning tool?
If you use a flange cleaning tool who is the manufacturer

At NAPS we wait until the head is approximately 18” from the flange for shielding and use long handled tools to clean the O-ring grooves.
One unit has experienced a slight inner O-ring leak during power operations ~0.05 gpm.

Thank You in Advance for your reply

PS
Thanks for the replies already from Seabrook, Braidwood, Sequoyah and Watts Bar on this matter.
