Letter from the Power Authority of the State of New York to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated July 24, 1978 (Serial No. JAFP-78-359)

Dear Mr. Grier:

The inspection of the hydraulle snubbers discussed in the referenced letter was completed during the 1978 refueling and maintenance outage. As a part of this inspection, three (3) snubbers of the type referenced in Bulletin 78-10 were found in a safety-related system.

These older style snubbers were removed and replaced with the newer style Bergen-Paterson snubbers.

The snubbers that were removed were inspected and no indications of broken springs or damage to the accumulator piston V-cup seal was indicated.

If you require any additional information relating to this matter, please contact us.
