PLANT 5YSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.7 SE ALED SOURCE CONTAMINAT N The ilmitations on sealed source r movable contamination ensure that the total body or individual organ irradiati does not exceed allowable ilmits in the event of ingestion or inhalation of source material. The ilmitations on removable contamination for sou requiring leak testing, including alpha i

emitters,is based on 10 CFR 70.3 'c) imits for plutonium. Leakage of sources less than excluded from the requirements of this specification represent one maximum permissible body burden for total body irradiation if the source j

material is inhaled or ingested.

norrsafety-related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system en which they are installed would have no adverse effect on any safety-related system.

A list of individual snubbers with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with 5ection 50.7)(c)of 10 CFR Part 50. The accessibility of each snubber shall be determined and approved by the Plant operations Review Committee. The determination shall be based upon the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g., temperature, atmosphere, location, etc.), and the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8 and 8.10.

j BASES d

J 3/4.7.7 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on sealed source removable contamination ensure that the total body or individual organ irradiation does not exceed allowable limits in the j

event of ingestion or inhalation of the source material.

The limitations on

{

removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(a)(3) limits for plutonium.

Leakageofsourcesl excluded from the requirements of this specification represent less than j

one maximum permissible body burden for total body irradiation if the source i

material is inhaled or ingested.

3/4.7.8 SNUBBERS f

1 l

All snubbers are required OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is 1

maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic j

loads.

Snubbers excluded from this inspection program are those installed on i

nonsafety-related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system 1

on which they are installed would have no adverse effect on any safety-related system.

A list of individual snubbers with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with Section 50.71(c) of 10 CFR Part 50.

The accessibility of each snubber shall i

be determined and approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee.

The determination shall be based upon the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g., temperature, atmosphere, location, etc.), and the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8 and 8.10.

The addition or deletion of any hydraulic or mechanic snubber shall

,j be made in accordance with Section 50.59 of 10 CFR Part 50.

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

Therefore, the required inspection interval i

varies inversely with the observed snubber failures end is determined by the number of inoperable snubbers found during an inspection.

Inspections performed i

before that interval has elapsed may be used as a new reference point to determine the next inspection.

However, the results of such early inspections performed before the original required time interval has elapsed (nominal time j

less 25%) may not be used to lengthen the required inspection interval.

Any j

inspection whose results require a shorter inspection interval will override the j

previous schedule.
