'3.6.E & 4.6.E BASES (Cont'd) jet-pump body; however, the converse is not true. The lack of any substantial stress in the jet pump body makes failure impossible without an initial nozzle riser system failure.

F. Jet Pump Flow Mismatch Requiring the discharge valve of the lower speed loop to remain closed until the speed of faster pump is equal to or less than 50% of its rated speed provides assurance when going from one to two pump operation that excessive vibration of the jet pump risers will not occur.

A loss-of-coolant accident analysis occurring during operation with one recircu-lation loop has not been performed. Therefore, operation with a single loop is prohibited except for a limited interval of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

G. Inservice Inspection The inservice inspection program conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g). Where practical, the inspection of components conforms to the requirements of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components contained in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. If a Code required inspection is impractical, a request for a deviation from that requirement is submitted to the Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g)(6)(1).

Deviations which are needed from the procedures prescribed in Section XI of the ASME Code and applicable Addenda will be reported to _the Commission prior to the beginning of each 10-year inspection period if they are known to be required at that time. Deviations which are identified during the course of inspection will be reported quarterly throughout the inspection period.

3.6.H and 4.6.H I i

Snubbers Snubbers are designed to prevent unrestrained pipe motion under dynamic loads as might occur during an earthquake or severe trans-

. ient, while allowing normal thermal motion during startup and shutdown. The consequenca of an inoperable snubber is an increase in the probability of structural damage to piping as a result of a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. It is therefore required that all snubbers required to protect the primary coolant system or any other safety system or component be operable during reactor operation.

Because the snubber protection is required only during relatively low probability events, a period of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is allowed for repairs or replacement. Since plant startup should not commence with knowingly

- defective safety related equipment, Specification 3.6.H.4 prohibits startup with inoperable snubbers.

All safety elated snubbers are visually inspected for overall integrity and operability.

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

, the time interval for the next required inspection. Inspections performed before that interval has elapsed may be used as a new reference point to deteraine the next inspection. However, the results of such early inspections performed before the original required time interval has elapsed (nominal time less 25%) may not be used to lengthen the required inspection interval. Any inspection

.whose results require a' shorter inspection interval will override the previous schedule.

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/or verified by 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.

, S BASES (cont'd)

When a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation is per-formed, in addition to the determination of the snubber mode of failure, t- 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 com-ponent or cystem.

In cases where the cause of failure has been identified, additional snubbers, having a high probability for the same type of failure or that are being used in the same application that caused the failure, shall be tested. This requirement increases the probability of locating inoper-able snubbers without testing 100% of the snubbers.

Hydraulic snubbers and mechanical snublers may each be treated as a different entity for the above surveillcnce programs.

To further increase the assurance of snubber reliability, functional tests should be performed once each refueling cycle. Ten percent of each type of snubber represents an adequate sample for such tests.

Observed failures on these samples should require testing of additional units. Snubbers in high radiation areas or those especially difficult to remove need not be selected for functional tests provided operability was previously verified.

The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and consideration of the snubber service conditions. The. requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life.
