The extent and location of corrosion, crud deposits, and defects in the ends of the 1-B heat exchanger after removing the handhole covers were determined. There was no visual evidence of pitting or corrosion inside the ends of the heat exchanger. A radiochemical analysis of a smear sample taken from the inside of number one handhole showed the presence of the following isotopes- Fe/sup 59/, Co/ sup 58/, s1>s, and Zr/sup 95/. A radiation survey performed in four handholes indicated a maximum level of 1 r/hr. (W.L.H.)
