2. Visual Inspection Acceptance Criteria -

Mechanical Snubbers Visual inspections shall verify (1) that there are no visible indications of damage or impaired OPERABILITY, (2) attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are secure, and (3) in those locations where snubber movement can be manually induced without disconnecting the snubber, that the snubber has freedom of movement and is not frozen up. Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual inspections may be determined OPERABLE for the purpose of establishing the next visual inspection interval, providing that (1) the cause of the rejection is clearly established and remedied for that particular snubber and for other snubbers that may be generically susceptible; and (2) the affected snubber is functionally tested in the as found condition and determined OPERABLE.

3. Functional Tests - Mechanical Snubbers At least once per 18 months during shutdown, a representative sample (10% of the total of each type of snubber.in use in the plant) shall be functionally tested eitner in place or in a bench test. For each snubber that does not meet the functional test acceptance criteria of Specification 4.22.1.A.4, an
additional 10% of that type of snubber shall be

The representative sample selected for functional testing shall include the various configurations, operating environments and the range of size and capacity of snubbers.

At least 25% of the snubbers in the representative sample shall include snubbers from the following three categories:

a. The first snubber away from each .

reactor vessel nozzle

b. Snubbers within 5 feet of heavy equipment (valve, pump, turbine, motor, etc.)
c. Snubbers within 10 feet of the discharge from a safety relief valve Snubbers that are especially difficult to remove or in high radiation zones during shutdown shall also be included in the representative sample.*
  • Permanent or other exemptions from functional testing for individual snubbers in these categories may be granted by the Commission only if justifiable basis for exemption is presented and/or snubber life destructive testing was performed to qualify snubber operability for all design conditions at either the completion of their fabrication or at a subsequent date.

4.22.1.A.3. (Continued)

In addition to the regular sample, snubbers which failed the previous functional test shall be retested during the next test period. If a spare snubber has been installed in place of a failed snubber, then both

the failed snubber (if it is repaired
and installed in another position) and the spare snubber shall be retested.

Test results of these snubbers may not be included for the re-sampling.

If any snubber selected for functional testing either fails to lockup or fails to move, i.e., frozen in place, the cause will be evaluated and if caused by manufacturer or design deficiency, all snubbers of the same design subject to the same defect shall be functionally tested. This testing requirement shall be independent of the requirements stated above for snubbers not meeting the functional test acceptance criteria.

Mechanical Snubbers The mechanical snubber functional test shall verify that:

a. The force that initiates free movement of the snubber rod in either tension or compression is less than the specified maximum drag force. Drag force shall not have increased more than 50% since the last functional test.
b. Activation (restraining action) is achieved within the specified range of velocity or acceleration in both tension and compression.
c. Snubber release rate, where required, is within the specified range in compression or tension. For snubbers specifically required not to displace under continuous load, the ability of the snubber to withstand load without displacement shall be verified.

ATTACHMENT 2 Evaluation of Significant Hazards Consideration Proposed Changes to Zion Appendix A Technical Specifications Sections 3.22, 4.22, 6.

5.8 DESCRIPTION

OF AENDENT REQlEST An amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48 is proposed to modify Section 3.22, 4.22, and 6.5.8 of the Technical Specifica-tions. These changes are being submitted in order to convert these sections to the Standardized Technical Specification's (STS) content.

The attached table summarizes the proposed changes, the present i 6 cal Specifications, and the Standardized Technical Specifications.

Nou; that in all categories, with the exception of hydraulic snubber visual inspection and functional testing, the proposed Technical Specifications will impose additional restrictions that are not included in the present Technical Specifications.

While the proposed programs for hydraulic snubber visual inspections and functional testing have not been significantly altered, the acceptance criteria for these activities have been more closely defined. Thus, these constraints also constitute an additional control not included in the present Technical Specifications.

Basis for Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination The Commission's examples of actions involving no significant hazards consideration (48 FR 14870) include:

(ii) a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the technical specifications: for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement.

As discussed above, the changes to Sections 3.22, 4.22 and 6.5.8 all involve addition restrictions or controls that are not included in the present Technical Specifications. Thus, these changes fit example (ii).

Since the application for amendment involves proposed changes that are similar to examples for which no significant hazards consideration exist, Commonwealth Edison has made a proposed determination that the proposed amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.
