PLANT SYSTEMS BASES

~7.9 SNUBBERS All snubbers are required OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. Snubbers excluded from this inspection program are those installed on I nonsafety related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system on which they were installed, would have no adverse effect on any safety related system.

A list of individual snubbers required to be operable per the technical specifications with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with Section 50.7l(c) of 10 CFR Part 50. The accessibility of each snubber shall be determined and approved by the Station Operations Review Co111nittee. The determination shall be based on the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g.,

temperature, atmosphere, location, etc.) and the reco111nendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8 and 8.10. The addition or deletion of any snubber shall be made in accordance with Section 50.59 of 10 CFR Part 50.

The visual inspection frequency is constant inspection is determined When the cause of the rejection of a snubber is clearly established and remedied for that snubber and for any other snubbers that may be generically susceptible, and verified by inservice functional testing, that snubber may be exempted from being counted as inoperable. Generically susceptible snubbers are.those which are of a specific make or model and have the same design features directly related to rejection of the snubber by visual inspection or are similarly located or exposed to the same environmental conditions, such as temperature, radiation, and.vibration.

J When a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation is performed, in addition to the determination of the snubber mode of failure, in.

order to determine if any safety-related component or system has been adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubber. The engineering evaluation shall determine whether or not the snubber mode of failure has imparted a significant effect or degradation on the supported component or system.

INSERT 1 All snubbers shall be categorized into two groups: those accessible and those inaccessible during reactor operation. The visual inspection interval for each category of snubbers shall be determined based upon the criteria provided in Table 4.7-3.

INSERT 2 The inspections are performed for each category of snubbers. The snubbers are categorized by accessibility (i.e., accessible or inaccessible during reactor operation) . The next visual inspection for each category may be twice, the same, or reduced by as much as two-thirds of the previous inspection interval. This interval depends on the number of unacceptable snubbers found in proportion to the total number of snubbers in each category from the most recent inspection. Intervals may be increased up to 48 months if few unacceptable snubbers are found in these inspections. The visual inspection interval will not exceed 48 months. However, as for all surveillance activities, unless otherwise noted, allowable tolerances of 25% are applicable for snubbers. Table 4. 7-3 establishes three limits for determining the next visual inspection interval corresponding to the population of each category of snubbers. For a category that differs from the representative sizes provided, the values for the next inspection interval may be found by interpolation from the limits provided in Columns A, *B, and C. Where the limit for unacceptable snubbers in Columns A, B, or C is determined by interpolation and includes a fractional value, the limit may be reduced to the next lower integer. The first inspection interval determined using Table 4.7-3 shall be based upon the previous inspection interval as established by the requirements in effect before amendment ( ).
