PLANT SYSTEMS 3/4.7.8 SNUBBERS LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.7.8 All hydraulic and mechanical snubbers shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY:

MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

MODES 5 and 6 for snubbers located on systems required OPERABLE in those OPERATIONAL MODES.

ACTION:

With one or more snubbers inoperable on any system, within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> replace or restore the inoperable snubber (s) to OPERABLE status and perform an engineering evaluation per Specification 4.7.8g. on the attached component or declare the attached system inoperable and follow the appropriate ACTION statement for that system.

SURVELLIANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.7.8 Each snubber shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the following augmented inservice inspection program and the requirements of Specification 4.0.5.

a.

Inspection Types As used in this specification, type of snubber shall mean snubbers of the same design and manufacturer, irrespective of capacity.

b.

Visual Inspections Snubbers are categorized as inaccessible or accessible during reactor operation.

Each of these groups (inaccessible and accessible) may be inspected independently according to the schedule below.

The first inservice visual inspection of each type of snubber shall be performed after 4 months

  • but within 10 months of commencing POWER OPERATION and shall include all hydraulic and mechanical snubbers.

If all snubbers of each type on any system are found OPERABLE during the first inservice visual inspection, the second inservice visual inspection of that system shall be performed at the first refueling outage.

Otherwise, subsequent visual inspections of a given system shall be performed in accordance with the following schedule:

  • Visual inspection of the inaccessible snubbers can be performed at the first available outage after 2 months of commencing Power Operation.

1 12 months i 25%

c.

Visual Inspection Acceptance Criteria Visual inspections shall verify that:

(1) there are no visible indications of damage or impaired OPERABILITY and (2) attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are secure, and (3) fasteners for attachment of the snubber to the component and to the snubber anchorage are secure.

Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual inspections may be determined OPERABLE 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 on that system that may be generically suspectible; and (2) the affected snubber is functionally tested in the as-found condition and determined OPERABLE per Specifications 4.7.8f.

All snubbers connected to an inoperable common hydraulic fluid reservoir shall be counted as inoperable snubbers.

For those snubbers common to more than one system, the OPERABILITY of such snubbers shall be considered in assessing the surveillance schedule for each of the related systems, 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 of the systems within 6 months following such an event.

In addition to satisfying 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 piston setting; or (3) stroking the mechanical snubber through its full range of travel.

    • The inspection interval for each type of snubber on a given system shall not be lengthened more than one step at a time unless a generic problem has been identified and corrected; in that event the inspection interval may be lengthened one step the first time and two steps thereafter if no inoperable snubbers of that type are found on that system.
  1. The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are not applicable.
