II . I!ydraulIc Snubbers Snubbers ar, ' signed to prevent unrestrained pipe motion under dynamic loads as might occur curing an eartS-The consequence quake or severe transient, while al f < ming normal thernal notion during startup and shutdewn.

of an inoperable snubber is an increase in the probabilit:. of structural damage to piping as a res2It of a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. It is therefore required that all hydraulic snubbers required to protect the primary coolant systen or any other safety syst en or component be operable during reactor operation.

Because the snubber protection is required only during relatively low probability events, a period of 72 hcurs is allowed for repsirs or replacements. In case a shutdewn is required, the allowance of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to reach a cold shutdown condition vill permit an orderly shutdcen consistent with standard operating procedures. Since pin t startup should not c. mace with knmingly defective safety related equipment, Specification 3.6.II.4 prohibi ts startup with ineperabic snubbers.

All safety related hydraulic snubbers are visually inspected for overall integrity and eperability. The in-spection will include verification of proper orientation, adequase hydraulic fluid level and proper attach-ant of snubber to piping and structures.

Th e inspection frequency is based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection. Thus the required failurer. The number of inoperable snubbers inspection interval varies inversely with the observed snubber found during a required inspection determines the

• tine interval for the next required inspection. Inspectiens in-perfonted before that interval has elapsed may be used as a new reference point to determine the next spection. Ilowever, the results of such early inspections performed before the original required time interval has elapsed (nominal time less 257.) nay not be used to lengthet the required inspection interval. Any inspection whose results require a shorter inspection interval will override the previous schedule.

Experience at operating facilities has shown that the required surveillance program should assure an acceptable level of snebber performance provided that the seal materials are compatibic with the operating environrent.

Snubbers containing seal material which has not been demenstrated by operating experience, lab tests or analysis to be ccupatible with the operating environment should be inspected more frequently (every menth) until material cempatibility is confirmed or an appropriete changcout is completed.

4 11 . Ilydraulic Snubbers (cantd.)

Exactination of defectiv snubbers at reactor facilities and material tests performed at several laboratorles has shcun that millable gwi polyurethane deteriorates rapidly under the temperature and moisture co vJitio-s present in many snubber locations. Although nolded polyurethane exhibits greater resistance to these conditions, it also msy be unsuitable for application in the higher terperature environments. Data are net currently available to precisely define an upper te=perature limit for the polded polyurethane. Lab tests i

and in-plant experience indicate that seal materials are avail ble, a primarity ethylene propylene compounds, j vhich should give satisfactory perfervance under the most severe conditions expected in reactor install tions.

To further increase the assurance of snubber reliability, functional tests should be performed once each j

refueling cycle. These tests will include stroking of the snubbers to verify preper pistion novement, lock-i up and bleed. Ten percent or ten snubbers, whichever is less, represents an adequate sample for such tests.

Observed failures on these samples should require testing of additional units. Snubbers in high redistion areas or those especially difficult to remove need not be selected for functional tests provided operability was previcusly verified. To complement the visual external inspections, disassembly and internal examinat ion 3

t for coqonent damage and ' abnormal seal degradation should be performed. ' Die examinatien of two units, car's refueling cycle, selected from relatively severe environments should adequately serve this purpose. Any observed wear, breakdown or deterieration will provide a basis for additional inspections.
