During other than shutdown conditions, three class I snubbers were removed from service.
This is a degraded mode of LCO 4.3.10 and reportable per Fort St. Vrain Tech-nical Specification AC 7.5.2(b)2.
EVENT
DESCRIPTION
On March 31, 1981, reactor starts were being conducted for training purposes, so the reactor was in other than a shutdown condition, as defined in Section 2.14 of the Fort St. Vrain Technical Specifications.
At 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />, the Operations Department gave the Nuclear Projects Department permission to remove three class I snubbers for modifications required by the 2 inch and under seismic analysis program. These hydraulic oil snubbers, H0S 41, H0S 49, and H0S 57, were removed shortly af ter 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />, and re-turned to service at 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> the same day. The three snubbers were modi-fled as follows:
H0S 41 - Wall aounting bracket was increased from 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch thick.
HOS 49 - Wall mounting bracket was built up.
H0S 57 - Wall mounting bracket was revelded and one leg of the base plate was adjusted.
CAUSE
DESCRIPTION:
The snubbers were taken out of service for modifications required by the 2 inch and under seismic restraint analysis program.

.i Snubbers were returned to service upon coupletion of the modifications.
No further corrective action is enticipated or required.
