BASES:

3.6.I & 4.6.I SHOCK SUPPRESSORS (Sh'UBBERS)

Snubbers are designed to prevent unrestrained ;ipe motion under dynamic loals as might occur during an earthquake or severe transient, while allowing normal thermal motion during startup and shutdown. The consequence of an inoperable snubber is an increase in the probability of structural damage to piping as a result of a seistic or other event initiating dynamic loads.

It is therefore required that all snubbers required to protect the primary coolant system and all other safety related systems or components be operable during reactor operation.

The visual inspection frequency is based on maintaining a constant level of snubber protection to systems.

The cumulative number of inoperable snubbers detected during any inspection interval is the basis for establishment of the subsequent inspection interval and the existing inspection interval should remain in effect. until its completion.

When the cause of the rejection of a snubber is clearly established and remedied for that snubber and verified by inservice functional testing, that snubber may be exempted f rom 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, and are exposed to the same environmental conditions such as temperature, radiation, and vibration.

When a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation is initiated, 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.

Initiating this evaluation within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> ensures that prompt corrective action will be afforded.

Hy<lraulic snubbers and mechanical snubbers may each be treated as a different entity for the above surveillance programs.

The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and information through consideration of the snubber service condf rions and associated installation and maintenance records (newly installed snubber, seal replaced, spring replaced, in high radiation area, in high temperat ure area, etc...). The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers period-ically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating condi-tions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of j

snubber service life. The requirements for the maintanance of records and the l-snubber service life review are not intended to affect plant operation. Due to the number and complexity of the relevant interacting factors necessary to develop a comprehensive Service Life Program, this program shall become effective July 1, 1982.
