Lisual Inspection Acceptance Criteria-

-Visual inspections shall verify that (1) there are no visible indications of damace or impaired OPERABILITY, (2) attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are functional, and (3) fasteners for the attachment of the snubber to tho-component and to the snubber anchorage are functional.

Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual inspections shall be classified as unacceptable and may be reclassified acceptable for the purpose of establishing,the next visual inspection interval, provided that:

(1) the' cause of the rejection is clearly established and remedied for that particular snubber and for other snubbers irrespective of type that may be generic-l ally susceptible; and (2) the affected snubber is functionally tested _in the as-found condition and determined OpEp.ABLE per Specification 4.7,8f.

All snubbers found connected to an inoperable common hydraulic fluid reservoir shall be counted as unacceptable for determining the next inspection interval.

A review and: evaluation shall be performed and documented to i-determine system operability with an unacceptable snubber.

If operability cannot be -justified, the system shall be declared inoperable and the ACTION requirements shall be met.

d.

Transient Event Inspection An inspection shall'be performed of all hydraulic and mechanical snubbers attached to sections of systems that have experienced unexpected, potentially: damaging transients as determined from a review of operational. data and a visual inspection cf the systems within 6 months following such an event.

In addition to satisfy-ing the visual inspection; acceptance criteria, freedom-of-motion of mechanical snubbers shall be verified using at least one of the following:

(1) manually induced snubber. movement;.or (2) evaluation of in-place snubber pisto_n setting; or (3) stroking the mechanical

The next visual inspection interval for a snubber population or category size shall be determined based upon the previous inspection interval and j

the numcer of unacceptable snubbers found during that interval. Snubbers l

may be categorized based upon their accessibility during power opera-6 tion, as accessible or inaccessible.

These categories may be examined separately or jointly.

However, the licensee must make and document that decision before any inspection and shall use that decision at the basis upon which to determine the next inspection interval for that I

category.

flote 2:

Interpolation between population or category s h es and the number of unacceptable snubbers is permissible.

Use next lower integer for the value of the limit for Columns A. B, or C if that integer includes a f ractional value of unacceptable snubbers as determined by interpolation.

Note 3:

If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column A. the next inspection interval may be twice the previous interval but not greater than 48 ruonths, Note 4:

!f the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column B but areater than the number in Column A the next inspection interval shall be the same as the previous interval.

The purpose of this engineering evaluation shall be to determine if the components to which the inoperable snubbers are l

I Mechanical snubbers shall l

have met the acceptance criteria subsequent to their most recent service, and the freedom of motion test must have been performed within 12 months before being installed in the unit.

i.

Snubber Service life Program The service life of hydraulic and mechanical snubbers shall be moni-I tored to ensure that the service life is not exceeded between sur-l veillance inspections.

The maximum expected service life for various seals, springs, and other critical parts shall be determined and established based on engineering information and shall be extended or shortened based on monitored test results and failure history, i

Critical parts shall be replaced so that the maximum service life will not be exceeded during a period when the snubber is required to be

OPERABLE, The parts replacements shall be documented anc' the docu-mentation shall be retained in accordance with Sp uification 6.10.7.

Since the visual inspections are augmented by functional testing program, the vi'wal scrutiny suf ficient to assure that fasteners or mountings for connecting t he snubbers to supports or foundations shall have no visible bolts, pins or fasteners missing, or other visible signs of physical damage such as cracking or loosening.

-To provide assurance of snubber funct.ional reliability one of three l

functional testing methods are used with the stated acceptance criteria:

t 1.

Functionally _ test 10; of a type of snubber with an additional 10%

tested for each functional testing failure, or 2.

Functionally _ test a sample size and determine sample acceptance or rejection using figure 4.7-1, or 3.

Functionally test a representative sample size and determine sample acceptance or rejection using the stated equation.

Figure 4.7-1 was developed using "Wald's Sequential Probability Ratio Plan" as described in " Quality Control and Industrial Statistics" by Acheson J. Duncan.

Permanent or other exemptions from the surveillance program for individual snubbers may be granted by the Commission if a justifiable basis for exemption is presented and, if applicable, snubber life destructive testing was perfonned.

to qualify the snubber for the applicable design conditions at either the com-pletion of their fabrication or at a subsequent data.

Snubbers so exempted shall be listed in the list of individual snubbers indicating the extent of the exemptions.

P The service life of a snubber is established via manufacturer input and information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and f

associated installation and maintenance records (newly installed snubber, seal replaced sping replaced, in high radiation area, in high temperature area, etc.).

The requirenent to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a-performance evaluation in view if their age and operating conditions.

These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life.
