Bases Continued 3.6 and 4.6: s A nozzle-riser system' failure could also generate the coincident failure of a jet pump body; however, the l 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. !
II . Ilydraulic Snubbers 1,
Snubbers are designed to prevent unrestrained pipe motion under dynamic loads as might occur during an earth-quake or severe transient, while allowing nortual thermal motion during startup and shutdown. The consequence '
, of an inoperabic snubber is an increase in the probability of structural damage to piping as a res2 7t of a seismic or.other event initiating dynamic loads. It is therefere required that all hydraulic snubbers required .!
to, protect the primary coolant system or any other safety system or component be operable during reactor operation.
20 Because the snubber protection.is required only during relati'vely 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 replacements. In case a shutdown is required, the allevance 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 will permit an orderly shutdown consistent with standard operating procedures. Since plant startup should not commence with knowingly defective safety related equip = cut, Specificatien 3.6.11.4 prohibits startup with inoperable snubbers.
All safety related hydraulic snubbers are visually inspected for overall integrity and operability. The in-spection will include verification of proper orientation, adequate hydraulic fluid level and prpper attachment of snubber to piping and structures. -
t The inspection frequency is based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection. Thus the required i inspection interval varies inversely with the observed snubber failures. The number of inoperabic 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 determine the next in-
- spection. Ilowe ver , 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
' Experience at. operating facilities has shoun that the required surveillance program should assure an acceptable level of snubber .perfor, nance provided that the seal materials are compatible with the eperating environment.
Snubbers containing seal material which has not been demonstrated by operating experience, lab tests or analysis to be compatible with the operating environment should be inspected more frequently (every month) until material compatibility is confirmed or an appropriate changcout is completed. '

II. Ilydraulic Snubbers (contd.)
Examination of defective snubbers at reactor facilities and matecial tests performed at several laboratories has'shown that millable gum polyurethanc deteriorates rapidly under the temperature and moisture conditions present in many snubber locations. Although molded polyurethane exhibits greater resistance to these conditions, it also may be unsuitable for application in the higher temperature environments. Data are not currently available to precisely define an upper terperature limit for the molded polyurethane. Lab tests and in-plant experience indicate that seal materials are available, primarily ethylene propylene compounds, which should give satisfactory performance under the most severe conditions expected in reactor installations.
To further increase the. assurance of snubber reliability, functional tests should be performed once each l refueling cycle. .These tests will include stroking.of the snubbers to verify proper piston movement, lock--
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 radiation
' 20 i
areas or those especially difficult to remove need not be selected for functional tests provided' operability
.was previously verified. To ccmplement the visual external inspections, disassembly and internal examination i
for component damage and abnomal seal degradation should be performed. The examination of two units, each a
refueling. cycle, selected from relatively severe environments shculd adequately serve this purpose. Any t
observed wear, breakdown or deterioration .uill provide a basis for additional inspections.
