Snubbers are installed on piping and/or equipment primarily to limit the displacement of the piping or equipment during a seismic event or during a severe transient.
T. Thermal Movement - The amount the system/component is analytically predicted to move from its Cold position to its Hot (Operating) position during normal or emergency system operation. Thermal movement can be either in tension or compression and this movement is identified on the support design drawings.
They are sometimes installed to limit damage from pipe break, vibration, and water hammer. Snubbers accomplish this by absorbing the energy from the supported system/component motion and transmitting it to the building structure.
U. Unstaked, Internal - Rotation occurs between the support cylinder and the position tube indicator, for Mechanical snubbers.
Snubbers can directly affect plant safety, therefore, periodic inspection, testing, and appropriate maintenance is required to ensure their operability.
V. Unstaked, spherical Bearing - Spherical bearing, used for snubber alignment, is found displaced from the paddle plate.
Inoperable snubbers may severely damage piping or equipment either by NOT restraining them during a seismic event or transient, or by NOT allowing thermal expansion during normal plant operation.
W. Visual Examination - The performance of visual observations for detection of improper installation and impaired functional ability caused by physical damage, leakage, corrosion, or degradation from environmental or operating conditions.
Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Technical Requirement (TR) 3.7.4,"Snubbers", requires all safety-related snubbers to be operable during all modes of operation.
X. Work Implementing Document (WID) - Workplan, Maintenance Instruction, Work Order, or other similar document which consists of written directions for performance of work.
However, if a component or system affected by the snubber(s) is NOT required to be OPERABLE, then the snubber is NOT required to be OPERABLE, except as follows: The snubber(s) located inside the drywell, on the reactor vessel attached piping systems shall be considered OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. The snubber(s) on Main Steam, HPCI and RCIC piping, in the drywell, are exempt from this requirement when the steam line plugs are installed inside the reactor vessel. During the times snubber(s) are NOT required to be OPERABLE for an inoperable system, the inoperable snubber(s) will be tracked to prevent declaring the system OPERABLE with unanalyzed inoperable snubber(s).
 
At the present time there are four manufacturers and five types of snubbers at Browns Ferry. These are Bergen-Paterson (also known as Anchor/Darling or Fronek) and Grinnell Hydraulic (piping and equipment), Bergen-Paterson and Lisega (Torus Dynamic Restraints) and Pacific Scientific Company Mechanical Snubbers.The types and pertinent information about each will be given in Appendix B, C, D, E and F of this procedure.

B. Safety-related snubbers require visual examinations on an interval determined by the number of unacceptable snubbers found, during the visual examination process, using Table 3.7.4-1 in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4.The basis of this frequency is provided in NRC Generic Letter 90-09.

B. Safety-related snubbers require visual examinations on an interval determined by the number of unacceptable snubbers found, during the visual examination process, using Table 3.7.4-1 in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4.
Each time the performance is required the total population of the snubbers in the accessible or inaccessible category are required to be examined.
The basis of this frequency is provided in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. Removal of insulation is NOT required. Each time the performance is required the total population of the snubbers in the accessible or inaccessible category are required to be examined. The change in the frequency table described in the TRM requires that all the snubbers be examined either as separate categories or combined into one population. The table is more favorable if the snubbers are considered one population, and that usually is the choice that should be made and documented before the examinations begin.

B. Therefore, sometimes decontamination of snubbers may be necessary.
B. Therefore, sometimes decontamination of snubbers may be necessary.
A major consideration in decontaminating snubbers is avoiding changing the as-found condition (i.e., stroke setting) of the snubbers selected for as-found testing. Therefore, the ability to test the snubbers with a minimum amount of decontamination is desirable, but the inconvenience of testing and rebuilding contaminated snubbers can add significantly to the cost and time required for testing to be completed.

7.16.2 Decontamination of Mechanical Snubbers A. Mechanical snubbers are NOT water-tight.
7.16.2 Decontamination of Mechanical Snubbers A. Mechanical snubbers are NOT water-tight. Where possible, these snubbers should be decontaminated by wiping with a dry cloth or using a foam cleaner rather than immersion into a cleaning fluid. Fluid that has entered the snubber may become trapped and eventually cause corrosion. Unless the snubber has been subjected to intrusion of contaminated fluid, the inside of the snubber should be free of contamination.
Where possible, these snubbers should be decontaminated by wiping with a dry cloth or using a foam cleaner rather than immersion into a cleaning fluid. Fluid that has entered the snubber may become trapped and eventually cause corrosion.
7.16.3 Decontamination of Hydraulic Snubbers A. Hydraulic snubbers are more resilient than mechanical snubbers. The only time a hydraulic snubber may have problems during decontamination is if high pressure water is used to remove the contamination. If this occurs care should be taken NOT to spray directly at the front rod wiper. The water pressure could force water past the rod wiper and the piston rod packing, since these seals are made to pressurize from the inside of the snubber. Water which has been forced into the snubber could affect the functional test results.
Unless the snubber has been subjected to intrusion of contaminated fluid, the inside of the snubber should be free of contamination.
B. Decontamination of hydraulic snubbers should be carefully controlled, especially for those that have a suspected low fluid level and supplied by a gravity feed reservoir. Ifthe fluid used to decontaminate the snubber seeps into the reservoir, or the reservoir is disassembled, the as-found fluid level is changed before the test is performed. For any snubber that is NOT scheduled for rebuild, the effects of the decontamination process should be thoroughly evaluated to determine whether the snubber should be disassembled to remove any fluid that might have entered. There should never be a need to disassemble a reservoir for decontamination. The vent hole in the reservoir of a gravity fed snubber is so small it should NOT allow contamination to enter, since it is always at the high point. Contamination usually falls instead of rising as it would have to do to infiltrate the reservoir.
7.16.3 Decontamination of Hydraulic Snubbers A. Hydraulic snubbers are more resilient than mechanical snubbers.
 
The only time a hydraulic snubber may have problems during decontamination is if high pressure water is used to remove the contamination.
7.17   Functional Test Program Guidelines Any newly added, replacement, or refurbished snubber should be tested in accordance with the applicable functional testing Surveillance Instruction prior to installation. Once the functional test has been performed it remains acceptable for 1 year after completion, unless something happens or there is a concern about the snubber.
If this occurs care should be taken NOT to spray directly at the front rod wiper. The water pressure could force water past the rod wiper and the piston rod packing, since these seals are made to pressurize from the inside of the snubber. Water which has been forced into the snubber could affect the functional test results.B. Decontamination of hydraulic snubbers should be carefully controlled, especially for those that have a suspected low fluid level and supplied by a gravity feed reservoir.
Functional tests are performed each operating cycle to meet Technical Requirements Manual TRM 3.7.4.2 verifying, by sampling 10% of each subgroup of snubber, that the safety-related or quality-related snubbers are operable. For each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria an additional 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup shall be tested, until no additional failures occur. In addition to the required sampling, snubbers under service life monitoring and balance-of-plant programs should be addressed. Specific Technical Requirements are given in the appropriate functional testing SI.
If the fluid used to decontaminate the snubber seeps into the reservoir, or the reservoir is disassembled, the as-found fluid level is changed before the test is performed.
When the required 100 percent visual exam is also to be performed for the operating cycle, it should be performed before the functional tests are performed. When the 100 percent visual exam is NOT required, a visual check of the snubber for indication of service-related degradation or damage of the snubber installation should be made before the snubber is disconnected or removed. This is a good preventative maintenance practice and NOT a SI visual examination requirement.
For any snubber that is NOT scheduled for rebuild, the effects of the decontamination process should be thoroughly evaluated to determine whether the snubber should be disassembled to remove any fluid that might have entered. There should never be a need to disassemble a reservoir for decontamination.

The snubber manufacturers recommended drag force value is 5% of the rated load for an NF mechanical snubber, except for the PSA-1/4.This test is performed to verify the drag force of the snubber will NOT exceed 5% of the snubber rated load. An exception to this 5% of the rated load requirement is made when considering PSA 1/4 snubbers.
E. Activation Test Activation test is performed using the test bench. Testing is performed in both directions (tension and compression). The acceptance criteria are equal to or less than 0.02 g's.
In accordance with information from PSC, the PSA 1/4 snubber (Design Rated Load (DRL) -350 lbs.) is evaluated to the same requirements as the PSA 1/2 (DRL -650 lbs.) from a design load consideration.
F. As-Found and As-Left Drag Force Test Drag force is the minimum force required to initiate or maintain motion of the snubber. The drag force of any snubber should NOT over-stress the supported system/component. The snubber manufacturers recommended drag force value is 5% of the rated load for an NF mechanical snubber, except for the PSA-1/4.
As determined by PSC, drag forces greater than 5% (except the PSA-1/4) is indicative of impending snubber failure.If the drag force of the snubber is acceptable during the As-Found testing it may be used for the As-Left test results. For As-Found drag forces that exceed 3% but are less than 5%, the snubber shall be stroked several times in an attempt to redistribute the grease and reduce the drag.The snubber shall then be retested for drag. If the drag force does NOT reduce to 3% or below, the snubber shall be replaced.

That condition requires a supported system/component analysis to determine the affect on the piping system or component from restriction of the thermal movement, in addition to the analysis to determine the cause of the high drag or locked up condition. Appendix I provides many very good points to be investigated during the analysis of mechanical snubbers and their component parts, but this Appendix should NOT be viewed as all inclusive.
C. Failure Cause Determination Techniques Sometimes the cause of the inoperable condition can be determined by external examination, such as loose tubing connections or paint in the wrong places (i.e., on the moving parts). However, in most cases the snubber will require disassembly to determine what caused the condition. Visual examinations and measurements, coupled with the knowledge of what is required to keep the snubber operable are usually sufficient to determine what caused the condition.
Sometimes additional knowledge is required to determine whether a part broke from an overload or fatigue, or broke in tension or compression, etc. Additional investigation is usually required to determine what caused the defect to develop. Such root causes may be improper maintenance, improper design or operation resulting in excessive vibration of the supported system/component.

The snubber manufacturer's recommended limiting drag force is 5% of the rated load of the snubber, except for the PSA-1/4. However, that value is applicable only to the functionality of the snubber. The structure, component, piping, or equipment that the snubber is supporting must be evaluated for high drag forces to ensure they have NOT been overstressed beyond their allowable limits. REFER TO General Construction Specification G-43 for screening values based on pipe size to determine when a supported system/component analysis is required.7.20.2 Hydraulic Snubbers The drag force of the snubber should NOT overstress the supported system/component as a result of thermal expansion or contraction.

The snubber tracking data base program is the primary means for tracking and trending of snubber performance. Some short term tracking is required by the Technical Requirements Manual relating to snubbers installed in the same location as other snubbers that failed during previous outage tests due to location or unknown causes. These snubbers are required to be tested during the next operating cycle if the failure was due to location or design deficiencies. Other manual tracking can be performed by referencing the functional test data sheets from previous outages; however, this tracking can be performed more efficiently if historical snubber tracking data base information is available.

These snubbers are required to be tested during the next operating cycle if the failure was due to location or design deficiencies.
When the same snubber has been tested several times, its results may be reviewed to determine whether a trend may be developing in the results. Appendix G provides additional guidance for the performance monitoring and trending of snubbers.

7.21.2   Trending for Hydraulic Snubbers The test results that are significant for trending are the activation velocity and the bleed rate. Typically the snubber is rebuilt and as-left tests are performed to set the values in the optimum portion of the acceptance range. The results of the next as-found test should be compared to the last as-left test to determine any drift that has taken place. If the drift is consistent, the optimum setting might be changed to keep the as-found tests better in the acceptance range. If a snubber has NOT been rebuilt, the results of the next as-found test should be compared to the last as-found test to see if the acceptance range is degrading with the increased stay time.

Changes in drag force can take place for a number of reasons and there is no set pattern known to be specifically predictable. When high drag forces are caused by excessive or hardening lubricant, stroking the snubber can cause a redistribution of the lubricant, resulting in reducing the drag forces. The drag force may remain relatively low for a number of years when the lubricant is redistributed. Corrosion can be broken loose by stroking, but is usually progressive, and the drag force can be expected to increase again soon.
When high drag forces are caused by excessive or hardening lubricant, stroking the snubber can cause a redistribution of the lubricant, resulting in reducing the drag forces. The drag force may remain relatively low for a number of years when the lubricant is redistributed.
Snubbers are monitored for performance, with increasing drag forces taken as an indication of impending failure of the snubber. Snubbers previous test results should be reviewed to determine whether the trend is upward and some preventive maintenance is advisable to avoid the requirement of having drag forces above the screening criteria evaluated. Snubber drag forces between 3 to 5 percent of rated load should be evaluated for impending failures. The acceptance criteria for "as-left" drag forces is equal to or below 3% of the rated load for the snubber, with the exception of PSA 1/4 which use the acceptance criteria for PSA 1/2 snubbers. This practice is consistent with good industry practice to proactively replace PSA mechanical snubbers to reduce future test failures.

B. An upward trend in the drag force will effectively result in lowering the acceleration value, and there is no lower limit to the acceleration value. The concern with a locked up snubber is possible over stressing of the supported system/component under normal loading conditions. Some testing has indicated in some snubbers a slight upward trend in the acceleration value due to wear. Any performance monitoring of acceleration should be carefully evaluated using other plants and PSC test program results to determine its value.

IWA-21 10(a)(5) and (c), Duties of the Inspector (for involvement for snubber examination and testing).BASIS FOR RELIEF: ASME Section Xl Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are examined and tested in accordance with Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section Xl program. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section Xl and the plant TRM would result in duplication of effort utilizing different standards and require the preparation of a separate program and associated procedures.
IWA-21 10(a)(5) and (c), Duties of the Inspector (for involvement for snubber examination and testing).
This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure.
BASIS FOR RELIEF:
In addition the personnel performing snubber visual examinations would also be required to be certified in accordance with the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A "Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing", which is an additional certification as compared to the task training qualification required to perform the TRM required examinations and testing of snubbers.The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers was promulgated, accepted, and approved by NRC.The implementation of OM-1 987, Part 4, would require BFN to initiate a snubber examination and testing program that is more complicated and expensive to perform, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section Xl program. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section Xl and the plant TRM would result in duplication of effort utilizing different standards and require the preparation of a separate program and associated procedures. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. In addition the personnel performing snubber visual examinations would also be required to be certified in accordance with the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A "Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing", which is an additional certification as compared to the task training qualification required to perform the TRM required examinations and testing of snubbers.
The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the examination and testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and repair/replacement activities.
The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers was promulgated, accepted, and approved by NRC.
The procedures utilized for these examinations are: 3-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers";
The implementation of OM-1 987, Part 4, would require BFN to initiate a snubber examination and testing program that is more complicated and expensive to perform, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

The OM Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and test plans (10%, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing efforts and different requirements for snubber quantities subject to examination or test, actually examined and/or tested, and sample expansion requirements.

The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers has been promulgated and accepted by NRC. The differences in the two programs could create confusion when selecting test samples, applying acceptance criteria, corrective actions and examination schedules for failed snubbers.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF:
This situation could increase the possibility of applying the wrong action, thus creating a nonconformance, an in-operability or even a violation of a TRM requirement.
The current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by OM-1987 Code, Part 4, and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated in the OM Code referenced by the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI.
To eliminate any misinterpretation or confusion in administering overlapping requirements for snubbers, and to remove the possibility of applying contradicting requirements to the same snubber(s), BFN proposes to examine and test snubbers in accordance with BFN TR 3.7.4.Sub-article IWF-5400 provides the requirements for repair and replacement of snubbers to be in accordance with OM-1987, Part 4, Section 1.5.6, "Snubber Maintenance or Repair" and 1.5.7, "Snubber Modification and Replacement" require repaired and replaced snubbers to meet the visual examination requirements of Paragraph 2.3.1.2 and the operability test requirements of Paragraph 3.2.1.1. Section 1.5.6 also requires an evaluation of the maintenance or repair activity and Section 1.5.7 requires a suitability evaluation on the replacement/modified snubber. TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers and snubbers which have repairs which might affect the functional test results to be tested to meet the functional test criteria prior to installation.
Examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is currently performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4, which utilizes the guidance provided by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The OM Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and test plans (10%, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing efforts and different requirements for snubber quantities subject to examination or test, actually examined and/or tested, and sample expansion requirements. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers has been promulgated and accepted by NRC. The differences in the two programs could create confusion when selecting test samples, applying acceptance criteria, corrective actions and examination schedules for failed snubbers. This situation could increase the possibility of applying the wrong action, thus creating a nonconformance, an in-operability or even a violation of a TRM requirement.
Maintenance procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria for installation of a snubber after repair or replacement.
To eliminate any misinterpretation or confusion in administering overlapping requirements for snubbers, and to remove the possibility of applying contradicting requirements to the same snubber(s), BFN proposes to examine and test snubbers in accordance with BFN TR 3.7.4.
The ASME Section XI repair/replacement program at BFN documents the suitability of repairs, IWA-4130(a)(4), and replacements, IWA-7220.
Sub-article IWF-5400 provides the requirements for repair and replacement of snubbers to be in accordance with OM-1987, Part 4, Section 1.5.6, "Snubber Maintenance or Repair" and 1.5.7, "Snubber Modification and Replacement" require repaired and replaced snubbers to meet the visual examination requirements of Paragraph 2.3.1.2 and the operability test requirements of Paragraph 3.2.1.1. Section 1.5.6 also requires an evaluation of the maintenance or repair activity and Section 1.5.7 requires a suitability evaluation on the replacement/modified snubber. TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers and snubbers which have repairs which might affect the functional test results to be tested to meet the functional test criteria prior to installation.

Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria, specified in the TRM implementing procedures, provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.Because relief is sought from the ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test activities to require ANII involvement.
ASME Section Xl, VT-3 certification required for personnel performing snubber visual examinations is an additional certification as compared with the TRM program training qualifications. Personnel performing the TRM required visual examinations are "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing required by the TRM and implemented by the referenced procedures. This training currently includes a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the acceptance criteria associated with procedure MPI-0-000-SNBO04. Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria, specified in the TRM implementing procedures, provides an acceptable level of quality and safety.
The BFN TRM snubber program does not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements.
Because relief is sought from the ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test activities to require ANII involvement. The BFN TRM snubber program does not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements. The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements. A snubber program manager provides oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both visual and functional testing. This oversight includes both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager provides an acceptable level of quality and safety without ANII involvement in those activities. ANII involvement in other inservice repair and replacement snubber activities, as required by IWA-21 10(g) and (h) and implemented by BFN's ASME Section Xl repair and replacement program will be maintained.
The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements.
Sub-article IWA-6230 and OM-1987, Part 4, Sections 2.3 and 3.3 provide requirements for ASME Section Xl inservice examination and test documentation for snubbers and a summary report of examinations and testing. Under the alternate requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section XI inservice examination and testing to document in a summary report.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 55 of 166 Appendix B (Page 1 of 8)Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek Hydraulic Snubber 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hydraulic snubbers consist basically of a main cylinder, main piston, fluid modulating (control valve) device and fluid makeup reservoir.
Appendix A (Page 6 of 6)
Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through the control valves with little or no resistance.
Based on the justification provided, BFN's examination and testing of snubbers, in accordance with TR 3.7.4 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR50.55(a)(3)(i), TVA requests that relief be granted from the 1989 Edition of ASME Section Xl Code requirements related to inservice examination and testing for snubbers.
Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts.BFN purchased its original snubbers from Bergen-Paterson and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Bergen-Paterson Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects the rating in KIPS of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given an individual serial number, therefore Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location.In 1978 Bergen-Paterson revised their numbering system to the following:

Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek Hydraulic Snubber 1.0   GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hydraulic snubbers consist basically of a main cylinder, main piston, fluid modulating (control valve) device and fluid makeup reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through the control valves with little or no resistance. Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts.
If the plot does NOT show in the center of the graph the following parameters may be changed to center the plot and give the best looking plot available.
BFN purchased its original snubbers from Bergen-Paterson and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Bergen-Paterson Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects the rating in KIPS of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given an individual serial number, therefore Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location.
Valve Open -This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the dead band.
In 1978 Bergen-Paterson revised their numbering system to the following:

2500             -       XXX                     XXX Model No.             Kip Rating         Sequential Unit No.
* Valve End -The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary.
Later the numbering system was changed by Anchor/Darling to the following:
This value must be controlled enough so the snubber'will lockup and bleed, prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests." Ramp Duration -This value sets the time duration of the ramp between valve start and valve end. This value may be decreased, which moves the plot to the left on the graph. In the acceleration tests this value is limited to .45 sec maximum." Load Duration -This is the time that the valve will remain at the valve end position, after the ramp time has elapsed. Adjusting this value "up" will assure that the complete test will show on the graph.TYPE HSSA 3 HSSA 10 HSSA 20 HSSA30 KIP RATING 3 10 20 30 STROKE 6 6 6 6 ACTIVATION RATE 10 10 10 10 RELEASE RATE 2 2 2 2 ACCELERATION RATE N/A N/A N/A N/A DRAG FORCE RATE 2 2 2 2 TEST LOAD 80 80 80 80 PRESSURE BOOST 100 100 100 100 VALVE START 7 8 8 8 VALVE END 15 25 25 25 DRAG SPEED 2 2 2 2 RAMP DURATION 7.0 9.5 9.5 9.5 LOAD DURATION 2.9 .4 .4 .4 BENCH (B)IG/ (S)MALL S B B B TYPE ADH/FRONEK ADH/FRONEK ADH/FRONEK ADH/FRONEK ADH/FRONEK 20 30 50 70 130 KIP RATING 20 30 50 70 130 STROKE 6 6 6 6 6 ACTIVATION RATE 10 10 10 10 10 RELEASE RATE 2 2 2 2 2 ACCELERATION RATE N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A DRAG FORCE RATE 2 2 2 2 2 TEST LOAD 80 80 80 80 80 PRESSURE BOOST 100 100 100 100 100 VALVE START 8 8 8 8 8 VALVE END 25 25 25 25 25 DRAG SPEED 2 2 2 2 2 RAMP DURATION 9.5 9.5 9.5 9.5 9.5 LOAD DURATION .4 .4 .4 .4 .4 BENCH (B)IG/ (S)MALL B B B B B BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 58 of 166 Appendix B (Page 4 of 8)4.0 POPPET TYPE CONTROL VALVES Most snubber designs use spring loaded poppet (flow sensitive check) valves to limit the velocity of the piston rod. The lockup is controlled by the size of the flats on the head of the poppet and bleed rate is controlled by small grooves cut in the bottom portion (seating area) of the poppet. The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These valves are NOT adjustable and the poppet or spring are required to be replaced to achieve the desired lockup or bleed rate. When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different size poppet heads are used to close at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel. The small flow also prevents a solid lock-up of the valve and potential difficulty in the relief of pressure on the valve.If for some reason the grooves become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize.
ADH               -       XXX                     XXX Model No.           Sequential Unit No.
This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event.5.0 RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons: to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models.* to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid." to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.This type of snubber contains a pressurized, external (integral) reservoir.
Fronek has retained the Anchor/Darling numbering system.
The Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling and Fronek snubbers are located in all three units.

* Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value must be controlled enough so the snubber'will lockup and bleed, prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.
          "   Ramp Duration - This value sets the time duration of the ramp between valve start and valve end. This value may be decreased, which moves the plot to the left on the graph. In the acceleration tests this value is limited to .45 sec maximum.

The lockup is controlled by the size of the flats on the head of the poppet and bleed rate is controlled by small grooves cut in the bottom portion (seating area) of the poppet. The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These valves are NOT adjustable and the poppet or spring are required to be replaced to achieve the desired lockup or bleed rate. When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different size poppet heads are used to close at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel. The small flow also prevents a solid lock-up of the valve and potential difficulty in the relief of pressure on the valve.
If for some reason the grooves become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize. This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event.
5.0   RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons:
to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models.
* to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid.
    "     to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.
This type of snubber contains a pressurized, external (integral) reservoir.
These pressurized reservoirs are isolated from the atmosphere by a plunger attached to a piston. This type of reservoir is less prone to the intrusion of moisture, but they do have one fault. That is the reservoir plunger penetration does NOT have a seal and if the snubber is NOT oriented properly water can penetrate into the atmospheric side of the reservoir and deteriorate the piston and seals causing total fluid loss from the reservoir.

Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through control valves with little or no resistance.
Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts.BFN purchased its original snubbers from Grinnell Company and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Grinnell Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects a figure number and the bore size, in inches, of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given individual serial numbers.Therefore, Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location.There is only one size of Grinnell Hydraulic snubbers at Browns Ferry and this is a 4 inch bore and is listed in the procedures as ITT. There are two different body styles (Lynair and Lindco) of these snubbers.
These snubbers are only located in Unit 2.2.0 TYPES AND SIZES FOR THE GRINNELL HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS: GRNL 4, 27.3 Kips, 5 inch stroke (Grinnell part number Fig 200/201)3.0 TEST PARAMETERS IN THE SNUBBER TEST MACHINE PROGRAM: The following parameters shall be verified to work on the test machine, with the associated snubbers, and the accompanying plot shall be located as close to the center of the graph as possible.

The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These are designed as adjustable valves which use screws-to make the adjustments.
They can be more finely tuned for the lockup and bleed rate desired, but they are also easy to become out of tolerance due to vibration of piping or equipment to which they are attached.
When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different adjustments are used to force the poppets closed at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel.These valves have two distinct modes of operation (locked and unlocked).
In order for the snubber to return to the free movement mode, after becoming locked, the piston rod velocity must decrease to practically zero. This allows the pressure to drop, the spring to disengage the poppet and the valve assembly to become unlocked.If for some reason the bleed orifices become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize.
This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event.5.0 RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons:* to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models." to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid.* to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.These snubbers contain non-pressurized (vented), external (integral) reservoirs.
These non-pressurized reservoirs are vented to the atmosphere and should include a breather filter to prevent contaminants from entering.
With the silicon fluids being used today there is also a danger of moisture entering the fluid, which may cause rusting, pitting and increased seal degradation to occur. These snubbers should only be installed in an orientation, with the breather port (vent) above the fluid level, to prevent the loss of fluid.

The Torus Dynamic Restraints consist of a 12 inch bore, internally ported hydraulic, cylinder having a poppet valve assembly located in recesses machined in the blind and rod end heads.The valve controlling movement in the extension direction is located in the rod end head (nearest the Torus) and the valve controlling movement in the retraction direction is located in the blind end head (nearest the wall).The poppet valve has grooves which allow a small amount of fluid to pass the poppet after the activation velocity, of between 6 and 25 inches per minute, has been exceeded and the poppet has closed.A spring loaded pressurized fluid accumulator is mounted on flat machined surfaces on the upper portion of the circular surface of the blind end and rod end heads. The hydraulic system is maintained under pressure to maintain a minimum required 6300 kips/in spring constant.The restraint has a total stroke length of 1-1/2 inches.The rod end paddle of the restraint is pinned to a clevis bracket welded to each ring girder above the PSC ring header support.The blind end paddle is pinned to a clevis bracket mounted on the wall.The original pins are 4 inch diameter and have a slight interference fit between the clevis eye and the spherical bushing on the restraint.
BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 74 of 166 Appendix D (Page 2 of 9)1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
When the restraints are removed for functional testing, a new two piece pin is installed in the place of the shrink fit pin to enhance the removal and reinstallation of the restraints in the future.All of the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints are accessible during reactor operation and form a single group because they are identical in design. They are a group separate from other Bergen-Paterson snubbers because of the seal, valve design and size.The restraints are designed to reduce the dynamic response of the Torus to excitation caused by a design base LOCA.The principal specification governing performance of the restraints is the 7000 kip/inch minimum dynamic spring rate.The restraints have a maximum rated load of 200 KIPS in tension and 230 KIPS in compression.
2.0 OPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS (CEB'84 0503 015)This information defines operability requirements for the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers and provides related maintenance recommendations.
2.1 General Operability Requirements Torus Restraint Snubber (TRS) operability is of concern for conditions requiring primary containment integrity and for which a significant potential for a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) exists. Those conditions exist when the reactor is in the operating, hot standby, or hot shutdown mode, as defined by the BFN Technical Specifications.
They do NOT exist in the refueling or cold shutdown mode.To be considered operable, a TRS must be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable TVA design drawings and BP instruction manuals. In addition, the snubber reservoir fluid level must be maintained such that an acceptable axial spring rate is provided.
BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 75 of 166 Appendix D (Page 3 of 9)2.2 Effect of Inoperability The TRS function is to reduce dynamic motion of a Torus and its attachments (structures and piping) during postulated LOCA events. They also limit Torus motion during normal safety/relief valve discharges and postulated seismic events but are NOT required for plant safety under those conditions.
Each TRS restrains 1 of the 16 ring girders on a Torus. Its region of significant influence is within the two Torus bays adjacent to that ring girder. Each TRS basically functions independently during a postulated LOCA event.If one TRS was inoperable during a LOCA, the applicable code allowable stress for the Torus and attachments in the adjacent bays could be exceeded.
If two or more snubbers were inoperable, proportionately larger regions of the Torus would be similarly affected.
Maximum dynamic response would occur in a Torus bay if the snubbers for both adjacent ring girders were inoperable.
Under such conditions, the affected Torus and attachment regions would be substantially degraded, relative to satisfying code allowable stresses, but still capable of withstanding the most probable design basis accident, intermediate break accident, and small break accident LOCA loads without loss of containment integrity.

2.4 Recommended TRS Maintenance Policies for each BFN Unit 2.4.1 Operability of a leaking TRS A leaking TRS shall be declared inoperable if reservoir filling to maintain acceptable fluid levels is required at time intervals of 3 hours or less.A leaking TRS may be electively declared inoperable if another TRS or the drywell/wetwell differential pressure system is NOT already inoperable.

The 3 hour time limit is based upon a 20 minute LOCA dynamic load duration with no reservoir filling during the event. Note that a TRS will NOT become inoperable due to air ingestion during operation as long as the fluid reservoir remains pressurized to levels ensured by the specified level limits. The restrictions on electively declaring inoperability are based upon minimizing the probability for maximum Torus response during postulated LOCA events.2.4.2 Exceeding Fluid Reservoir Limits If a TRS reservoir fluid level is found outside the limits specified in this section at snubber temperature T and with L = T, the TRS shall be declared inoperable until the fluid level is restored to an acceptable value.

At the reduction of the pressure wave to almost 0, the locking terminates and a possible simultaneous temperature movement is no longer inhibited.
 
During reversal of direction of movement caused by counter-oscillation or renewed impulse, the mode of operation takes place in the reverse direction.

It can change infinitely within the frame of complex oscillation spectrums.
 
The response reaction of these shock absorbers lies in a frequency band of 0.5-100 Hz.During slow movement of the piston (5 4.72 in/min.), spring pressure keeps the valve open, allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow from one side of the piston to the other.During fast movement of the piston (! 4.72 in/mmn. approx.), fluid flow pressure on the valve plate closes the main valve. The flow of hydraulic fluid is stopped and the movement of the piston is restricted.

The compressibility of the fluid has a softening effect on the restriction of the piston. As fluid is compressed by the piston, the movement is arrested elastically.

As a result, damaging load spikes are avoided.As the load subsides, the pressure on the closed valve is reduced. When the force of the spring is greater than the compression force of the fluid, the valve opens.To eliminate any possibility of the valve remaining closed, it is fitted with a by-pass bleed system. This allows a very limited movement of the piston under load, and ensures quick equalization of pressure between the cylinder chambers when the load is removed.

Grinnell Hydraulic Snubbers 1.0  GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hydraulic snubbers consist basically of a main cylinder, main piston, fluid modulating (control valve) device and fluid makeup reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through control valves with little or no resistance. Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts.
BFN purchased its original snubbers from Grinnell Company and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Grinnell Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects a figure number and the bore size, in inches, of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given individual serial numbers.
Therefore, Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location.
There is only one size of Grinnell Hydraulic snubbers at Browns Ferry and this is a 4 inch bore and is listed in the procedures as ITT. There are two different body styles (Lynair and Lindco) of these snubbers. These snubbers are only located in Unit 2.
2.0  TYPES AND SIZES FOR THE GRINNELL HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS:
GRNL 4, 27.3 Kips, 5 inch stroke (Grinnell part number Fig 200/201) 3.0  TEST PARAMETERS IN THE SNUBBER TEST MACHINE PROGRAM:
The following parameters shall be verified to work on the test machine, with the associated snubbers, and the accompanying plot shall be located as close to the center of the graph as possible. If the plot does NOT show in the center of the graph the following parameters may be changed to center the plot and give the best looking plot available.
Valve Open - This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the deadband.

      "    Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value must be controlled enough so the snubber will lockup and bleed prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.
* Ramp Duration - This value sets the time duration of the ramp between valve start and valve end. This value may be decreased, which moves the plot to the left on the graph. In the acceleration tests this value is limited to.45 sec maximum.
      "    Load Duration - This is the time that the valve will remain at the valve end position, after the ramp time has elapsed. Adjusting this value "up" will assure that the complete test will show on the graph.

4.0  LOCKUP/BLEED TYPE CONTROL VALVES The type control valve used at Browns Ferry in both types of snubbers is a flow sensitive check valve (poppets) in parallel with bleed orifices. The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These are designed as adjustable valves which use screws-to make the adjustments. They can be more finely tuned for the lockup and bleed rate desired, but they are also easy to become out of tolerance due to vibration of piping or equipment to which they are attached. When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different adjustments are used to force the poppets closed at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel.
These valves have two distinct modes of operation (locked and unlocked). In order for the snubber to return to the free movement mode, after becoming locked, the piston rod velocity must decrease to practically zero. This allows the pressure to drop, the spring to disengage the poppet and the valve assembly to become unlocked.
If for some reason the bleed orifices become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize. This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event.
5.0  RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons:
* to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models.
      "    to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid.
* to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.
These snubbers contain non-pressurized (vented), external (integral) reservoirs.
These non-pressurized reservoirs are vented to the atmosphere and should include a breather filter to prevent contaminants from entering. With the silicon fluids being used today there is also a danger of moisture entering the fluid, which may cause rusting, pitting and increased seal degradation to occur. These snubbers should only be installed in an orientation, with the breather port (vent) above the fluid level, to prevent the loss of fluid.

The fluid used in snubbers should be fire resistant, radiation resistant, have a flat viscosity curve, and be compatible with seal materials such as ethylene propylene.
B. The silicon fluid used at BFN is General Electric (GE) SF-1 154. This fluid is expensive and should be reused when practical. The fluid should NOT get contaminated since it has a breather filter on the reservoir vent. Partially used container should be closed with an air tight cap to prevent moisture from entering the container.

Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Hydraulic Restraint Snubbers 1.0  GENERAL DESCRIPTION There are sixteen Torus Dynamic Restraints installed on each Torus and are located at 22-1/2 degree intervals around the exterior radius of the Torus.
All of the restraints are dimensionally and functionally identical and can be installed at any location.
All of the restraints are identified by individual serial numbers to serve as a specific identification for each restraint during manufacture, initial testing, and future recording purposes.
These restraints effectively restrain forces in both tension and compression, along an axis of 45 degrees from the horizontal, in the radial direction from the centerline of the reactor.
The restraints have a service life of 40 years and no service life monitoring program will be required for these restraints.
The Torus Dynamic Restraints consist of a 12 inch bore, internally ported hydraulic, cylinder having a poppet valve assembly located in recesses machined in the blind and rod end heads.
The valve controlling movement in the extension direction is located in the rod end head (nearest the Torus) and the valve controlling movement in the retraction direction is located in the blind end head (nearest the wall).
The poppet valve has grooves which allow a small amount of fluid to pass the poppet after the activation velocity, of between 6 and 25 inches per minute, has been exceeded and the poppet has closed.
A spring loaded pressurized fluid accumulator is mounted on flat machined surfaces on the upper portion of the circular surface of the blind end and rod end heads. The hydraulic system is maintained under pressure to maintain a minimum required 6300 kips/in spring constant.
The restraint has a total stroke length of 1-1/2 inches.
The rod end paddle of the restraint is pinned to a clevis bracket welded to each ring girder above the PSC ring header support.
The blind end paddle is pinned to a clevis bracket mounted on the wall.
The original pins are 4 inch diameter and have a slight interference fit between the clevis eye and the spherical bushing on the restraint.

When the restraints are removed for functional testing, a new two piece pin is installed in the place of the shrink fit pin to enhance the removal and reinstallation of the restraints in the future.
All of the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints are accessible during reactor operation and form a single group because they are identical in design. They are a group separate from other Bergen-Paterson snubbers because of the seal, valve design and size.
The restraints are designed to reduce the dynamic response of the Torus to excitation caused by a design base LOCA.
The principal specification governing performance of the restraints is the 7000 kip/inch minimum dynamic spring rate.
The restraints have a maximum rated load of 200 KIPS in tension and 230 KIPS in compression.
2.0  OPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS (CEB'84 0503 015)
This information defines operability requirements for the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers and provides related maintenance recommendations.
2.1  General Operability Requirements Torus Restraint Snubber (TRS) operability is of concern for conditions requiring primary containment integrity and for which a significant potential for a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) exists. Those conditions exist when the reactor is in the operating, hot standby, or hot shutdown mode, as defined by the BFN Technical Specifications. They do NOT exist in the refueling or cold shutdown mode.
To be considered operable, a TRS must be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable TVA design drawings and BP instruction manuals. In addition, the snubber reservoir fluid level must be maintained such that an acceptable axial spring rate is provided.
 
BFN                Snubber Program Procedure                0-TI-398 Unit 0                                                        Rev. 0005 Page 75 of 166 Appendix D (Page 3 of 9) 2.2    Effect of Inoperability The TRS function is to reduce dynamic motion of a Torus and its attachments (structures and piping) during postulated LOCA events. They also limit Torus motion during normal safety/relief valve discharges and postulated seismic events but are NOT required for plant safety under those conditions.
Each TRS restrains 1 of the 16 ring girders on a Torus. Its region of significant influence is within the two Torus bays adjacent to that ring girder. Each TRS basically functions independently during a postulated LOCA event.
If one TRS was inoperable during a LOCA, the applicable code allowable stress for the Torus and attachments in the adjacent bays could be exceeded. If two or more snubbers were inoperable, proportionately larger regions of the Torus would be similarly affected. Maximum dynamic response would occur in a Torus bay if the snubbers for both adjacent ring girders were inoperable. Under such conditions, the affected Torus and attachment regions would be substantially degraded, relative to satisfying code allowable stresses, but still capable of withstanding the most probable design basis accident, intermediate break accident, and small break accident LOCA loads without loss of containment integrity.
2.3    Recommended Fluid Level Limits for Disk Spring Reservoirs 2.3.1  Applicability These limits are applicable during operating cycle 6 and later cycles of each unit when the reactor is in the operating, hot standby, or hot shutdown mode.
2.3.2  Limits (both must be satisfied)
A. Maximum d = 1.595 - 0.01483 (100- T)
B. Minimum d = 0.904 + 0.01561 (T- L) where:          d      Distance from end of indicator rod to face of reservoir at temperature T (inches).
T      Snubber temperature when d is measured (OF).
L  =  Minimum snubber temperature for the time period of concern (OF).
 
Appendix D (Page 4 of 9)
NOTES
: 1)  The reservoir is full when d = 3.118 inches and it is 1/5 full when D = 0.904 inch.
: 2)  L may be conservatively set at 50 OF. Less conservative values of L are also permissible if justified by in-plant temperature data. L may NOT be greater than T.
: 3)  No maximum d limit is defined in consideration of the over pressure relief feature of the disc spring reservoirs.
2.3.3    Basis for limits These limits ensure a minimum spring rate of 6300 kips per inch for all anticipated snubber temperatures, including an upper limit of 100 OF. They are based upon approved BP test and design documentation for the TRS assemblies. An EN DES calculation CD-QOO10-890191 (CEB 840330 012) documents their deviation.
2.4      Recommended TRS Maintenance Policies for each BFN Unit 2.4.1    Operability of a leaking TRS A leaking TRS shall be declared inoperable if reservoir filling to maintain acceptable fluid levels is required at time intervals of 3 hours or less.
A leaking TRS may be electively declared inoperable if another TRS or the drywell/wetwell differential pressure system is NOT already inoperable.
The 3 hour time limit is based upon a 20 minute LOCA dynamic load duration with no reservoir filling during the event. Note that a TRS will NOT become inoperable due to air ingestion during operation as long as the fluid reservoir remains pressurized to levels ensured by the specified level limits. The restrictions on electively declaring inoperability are based upon minimizing the probability for maximum Torus response during postulated LOCA events.
2.4.2    Exceeding Fluid Reservoir Limits If a TRS reservoir fluid level is found outside the limits specified in this section at snubber temperature T and with L = T, the TRS shall be declared inoperable until the fluid level is restored to an acceptable value.
 
BFN                Snubber Program Procedure              0-TI-398 Unit 0                                                      Rev. 0005 Page 77 of 166 Appendix D (Page 5 of 9) 2.4.3  Exceeding Temperature Limits If a TRS temperature is found outside the range from 50OF to 100°F, Site Engineering (Civil) shall be notified and an operability determination shall be made within 72 hours.
This position is based upon the anticipated normal range of TRS fluid temperatures and the TRS design temperature range. Torus room ambient air temperatures outside this range would indicate a very unusual occurrence. Note that insignificant increases in TRS fluid temperatures are predicted during LOCA dynamic events.
2.4.4  Engineering Evaluations An engineering evaluation shall be performed for each instance in which a TRS is determined to be inoperable. Site Engineering (Civil) shall provide assistance upon request and shall be informed of the evaluation results.
2.4.5  Functionality Testing Functionality tests are NOT necessary on a routine basis or as a result of anticipated cases of TRS inoperability. It is possible, but NOT probable, that limited functionality tests may be required for extreme cases of inoperability. That determination must be made by the required engineering evaluations on a case-by case basis.
This position is based upon the extensive qualification tests and functionality tests performed by BP. It is also based upon performing installation and maintenance in strict compliance with approved procedures.

Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Hydraulic Snubbers 1.0   GENERAL DESCRIPTION The mode of operation of these hydraulic shock absorber rests on the fact that, except for a minimal friction, no resistance is offered to a slow movement of the connected components.
Under undesirable, shock-type movements resulting from unplanned load conditions the shock absorber locks and forms momentarily an almost rigid connection. The dynamic forces occurring as a result are absorbed and conducted harmlessly into the structural connection. At the reduction of the pressure wave to almost 0, the locking terminates and a possible simultaneous temperature movement is no longer inhibited.
During reversal of direction of movement caused by counter-oscillation or renewed impulse, the mode of operation takes place in the reverse direction. It can change infinitely within the frame of complex oscillation spectrums. The response reaction of these shock absorbers lies in a frequency band of 0.5-100 Hz.
During slow movement of the piston (*5 4.72 in/min.), spring pressure keeps the valve open, allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow from one side of the piston to the other.
During fast movement of the piston (Ž!4.72 in/mmn. approx.), fluid flow pressure on the valve plate closes the main valve. The flow of hydraulic fluid is stopped and the movement of the piston is restricted. The compressibility of the fluid has a softening effect on the restriction of the piston. As fluid is compressed by the piston, the movement is arrested elastically. As a result, damaging load spikes are avoided.
As the load subsides, the pressure on the closed valve is reduced. When the force of the spring is greater than the compression force of the fluid, the valve opens.
To eliminate any possibility of the valve remaining closed, it is fitted with a by-pass bleed system. This allows a very limited movement of the piston under load, and ensures quick equalization of pressure between the cylinder chambers when the load is removed.

In order to facilitate scheduled maintenance, the control valves can be removed while the snubber remains in place. Previously qualified and tested valves can be installed immediately and the snubber returned to service. The original valves can then be remotely tested using a surrogate snubber on a standard snubber test bench.

The reservoir is sealed against the atmosphere by a spring-loaded piston. While sealing the reservoir, the piston also generates a small amount of pressure within the system. This positive pressure energizes the seals in the snubber, increases their effectiveness and prevents ingestion of air.

==1.0  DESCRIPTION==
, DESIGN AND OPERATION OF MECHANICAL SNUBBERS 1.1  General Description Mechanical snubbers are manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company and are designated as PSA. Mechanical snubbers have dual failure modes in that they may either fail to activate or may "freeze" or lockup, becoming a rigid restraint.
The PSA snubber is acceleration limiting, and is effective in a seismic event because the motion is cyclic in a frequency range of 3 to 33 Hertz. PSA snubbers operate on the principle of limiting acceleration values of any pipe movement to a threshold level of 0.02 g's (7.7 in/sec squared). This is the maximum acceleration that the snubber will permit, and a breaking force will be applied within the snubber of whatever magnitude is required to limit the acceleration to a value less than 0.02 g's.
At the same time, thermal expansion, being a gradual movement, is NOT restricted.
A particular feature of mechanical snubbers is that at no time does it lock and become a rigid strut. When sudden acceleration occurs and is sustained continuously in one direction, the snubber will apply necessary force to limit the pipe movement to its preset threshold value. The snubber's performance is independent of the amount of force being applied (provided the force is less than the rated load).
BFN purchased all of its PSA snubbers through Bergen-Paterson, therefore, the Bergen-Paterson Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects the rating in KIPS of each snubber. Additionally, a majority of the PSA snubbers were purchased Safety-Related, NF. The PSA Part Numbers differ from the Bergen-Paterson because the snubbers were originally qualified Pre-NF, and given Part Numbers in accordance with that KIP rating. When the same components were re-qualified under NF, their KIP ratings increased but PSA never changed Part Numbers. Only a few PSA-10 snubbers were purchased as Pre-NF. These snubbers are located in all three units and are painted white to distinguish them from the NF snubbers. The Pre-NF snubbers are rated at 10 Kips while the NF snubbers are rated at 15 Kips.
They are located on the Main Steam Relief Valve (MSRV) Tail Pipes. When the Pre-NF, 10 Kip, snubbers are replaced in Unit 2, they will be replaced with NF snubbers rated at 15 Kips, by changing the end plug and the rear attachment from the Pre-NF to the new NF snubber.

Design and Operation Following is a description of the design and method of operation of the three versions of the PSA snubbers. Some details of the internal mechanism are different, depending on the capacity of the snubber, but the principle of operation is essentially the same.
Figure 1 shows a cross section representing PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2 snubbers. Also, Figure 2 shows the part numbers of the snubbers.
The snubber consists essentially of an inertia mass containing a clutch spring, a torque carrier and screw shaft assembly which also contains a capstan spring, a rod and bearing assembly, an inner tube, an anti-rotation key, a housing and a telescoping outer tube.
The rod and bearing assembly consists of a spherical bearing, end plug, two connecting rods and a helical cam bearing. The helical cam bearing end of the rod and bearing assembly engages the screw shaft of the torque carrier and shaft assembly. The shaft mounts the inertia mass, inside which is installed the clutch spring. The tangs of the capstan spring installed in the torque carrier are positioned between the lips of the clutch spring installed in the inertia mass. In this manner, the torque carrier is coupled to the inertia mass. The housing is secured by a retaining ring to the flange on the end of the inner tube. The housing shields the internal parts of the arrestor and prevents contaminants from entering. The restricting function of the snubber is primarily accomplished by changing the relative linear motion, of the telescoping inner and outer tubes of the snubber, into rotary motion of the torque carrier and the inertia mass. Figure 1 shows the snubber almost fully retracted. As the snubber is extended, the outer cylinder attached to the spherical bearing end, slides over the inner cylinder which is attached to the housing. The nut is attached to the spherical bearing end by the two rods. As the nut moves with the spherical bearing and, it forces the shaft screw to turn which makes the torque carrier spin, since they have a press fit.
The capstan spring rotates with the torque carrier, and the tangs of the capstan spring also drive the inertia mass through engagement with the up-turned ends of the clutch spring. Ifthe speed of the torque carrier is changed, the speed of the inertia mass must also change since they are connected by the tangs of the capstan spring.

Design and Operation (continued)
The PSA snubber is acceleration limiting, and is effective in a seismic event because the motion is cyclic in a frequency range of 3 to 33 Hertz. PSA snubbers operate on the principle of limiting acceleration values of any pipe movement to a threshold level of 0.02 g's (7.7 in/sec squared).
If the speed change is made suddenly, the inertia mass, by tending to stay at its existing speed, will overcome the capstan spring resistance and close it down on the end of the inner cylinder which is stationary in the housing. The spring in contact with the inner cylinder acts as a brake and slows the change in speed of the torque carrier as it is driven by the nut moving, as the snubber is extended. The same type of action takes place as the snubber is retracted. By this action the snubber limits the rate of velocity change or acceleration.

The telescoping cylinder and recirculating ball nut and screw assembly are the main design concept difference from the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2.The ball screw is supported by the traveling recirculating ball nut and by a ball bearing assembly near one end. The recirculating ball nut is staked to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the end plug assembly and the position indicator tube. The ball screw shaft extends through the thrust bearing fitted into the bore of the support cylinder.

The ball screw shaft mounts through the torque drum and inertia mass and is keyed to the torque drum and the inner race of the thrust bearing. The inertia mass is free to rotate on the end of the ball screw shaft. The tangs of the capstan spring installed in the torque drum extend through a slot in the torque drum and are located between the up-turned ends of the clutch spring installed in the inertia mass. This couples the torque drum to the inertia mass. The housing is attached by a retaining ring to a flange at the capstan end of the support cylinder.
PLAY E                             RING
The housing and a dust cover shield the internal parts of the arrestor and prevent contaminants from entering.
 
The restraining function of the PSA-1, -3, and-10 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder, into rotary motion of the torque drum and the inertia mass. As the snubber is extended or retracted, the telescoping cylinder moves inside the support cylinder.

The recirculating ball nut is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder.
 
Therefore, as the recirculating ball nut is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque drum spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder.

If the speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing, the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake. The arresting action of the snubber is essentially the same as for the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2.

The snubbers consists of a support cylinder, an inertia mass containing a clutch spring, a torque transfer drum containing a capstan spring, an end plug assembly, a position indicator tube, and a housing. The support cylinder contains a telescoping cylinder, and anti-rotation key, and a ball bearing screw assembly. The telescoping cylinder and recirculating ball nut and screw assembly are the main design concept difference from the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2.
A (INCLUDED IN KIT NO. 1811041-01) 1801493-03 BALL (0.1865 INCH/40737 MM DIAMETER)
The ball screw is supported by the traveling recirculating ball nut and by a ball bearing assembly near one end. The recirculating ball nut is staked to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the end plug assembly and the position indicator tube. The ball screw shaft extends through the thrust bearing fitted into the bore of the support cylinder. The ball screw shaft mounts through the torque drum and inertia mass and is keyed to the torque drum and the inner race of the thrust bearing. The inertia mass is free to rotate on the end of the ball screw shaft. The tangs of the capstan spring installed in the torque drum extend through a slot in the torque drum and are located between the up-turned ends of the clutch spring installed in the inertia mass. This couples the torque drum to the inertia mass. The housing is attached by a retaining ring to a flange at the capstan end of the support cylinder. The housing and a dust cover shield the internal parts of the arrestor and prevent contaminants from entering. The restraining function of the PSA-1, -3, and
A (INCLUDED IN KIT NO. 1811041-01) 1801493-02 BALL (0.1860 INCH/40724 MM DIAMETER)
      -10 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder, into rotary motion of the torque drum and the inertia mass. As the snubber is extended or retracted, the telescoping cylinder moves inside the support cylinder. The recirculating ball nut is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder. Therefore, as the recirculating ball nut is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque drum spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder. Ifthe speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing, the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake. The arresting action of the snubber is essentially the same as for the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2.

Their external configuration is similar but distinctive from other PSC snubbers.

In addition to being much larger, the outside diameter is essentially the same throughout its length.The snubber consists of a support cylinder assembly, torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly, an adapter nut or transition tube, an end cap assembly, and end cap nut, and a position indicator tube. A dust cover is installed in the adapter nut, or transition tube, to prevent contaminants from entering the arrestor internal mechanisms.
                                                    '3
The support cylinder assembly includes a support cylinder, a telescoping cylinder, a capstan spring, a recirculating ball assembly, ball bearings, a system of planetary gears, a ring gear and a housing.The recirculating ball assembly is attached to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the externally mounted end cap assembly, end cap nut and indicator tube. The opposite end of the recirculating ball assembly is keyed to the inner race of the thrust bearing assembly which is coupled to the planetary gear system. The outer race of the ball bearing and the ring gear are fitted into the bore of the support cylinder housing. This arrangement translates rotation of the precision ball screw into rotation of the planetary gears. The capstan and an internally mounted ball bearing are installed in the support cylinder housing at the output side of the planetary gear system. The capstan is keyed to the housing and does NOT rotate.Installed in the support cylinder housing, but NOT part of the support cylinder assembly, are a torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly and a capstan spring. The pinion gear of the torque carrier assembly engages the planetary gears.The hub of the torque carrier is supported by the internal bearing of the capstan.The capstan spring is internally contained in the torque carrier shell and rotates with the torque carrier. The hub of the inertia mass assembly is supported in a needle bearing installed in the torque carrier assembly.

The use of the planetary gear system permits the use of a reasonable size inertia mass because the gear system rotates the mass at a greater speed than the ball screw turns.The restraining function of the PSA-35 and -100 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder assembly, into rotary motion of the output gear train, the torque carrier assembly and the inertia mass assembly.

The recirculating ball assembly is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder.
 
Therefore, as the recirculating ball assembly is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque carrier spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder.

If the speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake.

Design and Operation Figure 5 is a cross section that represents the PSA-35, and PSA-100 snubbers.
Also, Figure 6 shows the part numbers of the snubbers.
The PSA-35 and PSA-100 snubbers are the largest capacity Pacific Scientific snubbers manufactured. Their external configuration is similar but distinctive from other PSC snubbers. In addition to being much larger, the outside diameter is essentially the same throughout its length.
The snubber consists of a support cylinder assembly, torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly, an adapter nut or transition tube, an end cap assembly, and end cap nut, and a position indicator tube. A dust cover is installed in the adapter nut, or transition tube, to prevent contaminants from entering the arrestor internal mechanisms. The support cylinder assembly includes a support cylinder, a telescoping cylinder, a capstan spring, a recirculating ball assembly, ball bearings, a system of planetary gears, a ring gear and a housing.
The recirculating ball assembly is attached to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the externally mounted end cap assembly, end cap nut and indicator tube. The opposite end of the recirculating ball assembly is keyed to the inner race of the thrust bearing assembly which is coupled to the planetary gear system. The outer race of the ball bearing and the ring gear are fitted into the bore of the support cylinder housing. This arrangement translates rotation of the precision ball screw into rotation of the planetary gears. The capstan and an internally mounted ball bearing are installed in the support cylinder housing at the output side of the planetary gear system. The capstan is keyed to the housing and does NOT rotate.
Installed in the support cylinder housing, but NOT part of the support cylinder assembly, are a torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly and a capstan spring. The pinion gear of the torque carrier assembly engages the planetary gears.
The hub of the torque carrier is supported by the internal bearing of the capstan.
The capstan spring is internally contained in the torque carrier shell and rotates with the torque carrier. The hub of the inertia mass assembly is supported in a needle bearing installed in the torque carrier assembly. A clutch spring is installed in the bore of the inertia mass assembly. The lips of the clutch spring are centered on the slot in the inertia mass shell. The tangs of the capstan spring are centered between the lips of the clutch spring. In this manner, the torque carrier assembly is coupled to the inertia mass assembly.

Design and Operation (continued)
The operation of these larger size PSA's is generally the same as for the other sizes as described. The use of the planetary gear system permits the use of a reasonable size inertia mass because the gear system rotates the mass at a greater speed than the ball screw turns.
The restraining function of the PSA-35 and -100 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder assembly, into rotary motion of the output gear train, the torque carrier assembly and the inertia mass assembly. As the snubber is extended or retracted, the telescoping cylinder moves inside the support cylinder. The recirculating ball assembly is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder. Therefore, as the recirculating ball assembly is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque carrier spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder. If the speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake. The arresting action of the snubber is essentially the same as for all the other PSA mechanical snubbers.

Service life monitoring also helps to identify and control problem applications and establish practical scheduled maintenance intervals based on realistic expectations of snubber aging.Current practices call for periodic visual examinations and functional testing of both hydraulic and mechanical snubbers.
Valve Open - This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the dead band.
Visual examination of 100% of all safety-related snubbers is performed on a standard inspection interval controlled by NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The inspection interval may be shortened or lengthened depending on the number of inoperable snubbers found. The examination plan assumes a constant frequency of occurrence of snubber failures and is intended to ensure that no more than one snubber is inoperable at a given time. A plant can either maintain a low snubber failure rate or inspect snubbers more frequently.
 
Current practices also call for testing of a sample batch of snubbers during each operating cycle. Testing of an additional sample for each inoperable snubber is also normal practice.

In contrast to the visual examination plan, the functional test plan is NOT time-related.
Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value has to be controlled enough that the snubber will activate, prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.

Service Life Monitoring Recommendations Service life monitoring enables plant personnel to gain knowledge of the plant's operating environment and the associated capabilities of snubbers. Service life monitoring also helps to identify and control problem applications and establish practical scheduled maintenance intervals based on realistic expectations of snubber aging.

In contrast to the visual examination plan, the functional test plan is NOT time-related. It simply ensures a given snubber operability level at the time the testing is completed.
Snubber design review should consider materials, design features and the plant operating environment.
As plant specific knowledge of snubber aging is gained through effective service life monitoring, it is anticipated that less emphasis will be placed on such statistical plans. Our Technical Requirements Manual does NOT require a specific service life monitoring program to be established. This is handled by our functional testing, visual examinations and other maintenance history for the snubbers. The ASME OM Code (Subsection ISTD) and NRC NUREG/CR-5870 give recommendations for establishing a service life monitoring program.
Evaluation of the effects of the environment on critical snubber parts such as seals, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, platings, etc., should be particularly emphasized.
Snubbers located in isolated severe environments should be separated from the general population and managed on a case-by-case basis. It may be desirable to group the general snubber population into two or more sub-populations with separate service lives.
3.0 SERVICE LIFE REEVALUATION Service life reevaluation should include the following considerations.
1.0   PURPOSE Degradation due to service environment and maintenance errors can adversely affect snubber performance. This Appendix discusses methods and considerations that can be used to predict and reevaluate snubber service life to optimize snubber availability during plant operation. A service life monitoring program should be based on knowledge of the operating environment, snubber design limits and service record.
3.1 Knowledge, Determination and Documentation of the Operating Environment Service life monitoring takes into consideration the capability of the various snubber models to endure the full range of plant environments.
 
Actual plant operating environments can differ significantly from the original plant design specifications.

Some snubbers may be subjected to localized high temperatures that are NOT representative of the general snubber population.
Manufacturer recommendations may include seal and fluid replacement intervals for hydraulic snubbers and critical parts or snubber replacement intervals for mechanical snubbers. Such intervals may vary, depending on the application.
Such applications may require augmented inspections or more frequent snubber overhaul or replacement than originally predicted.
Snubber design review should consider materials, design features and the plant operating environment. Evaluation of the effects of the environment on critical snubber parts such as seals, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, platings, etc., should be particularly emphasized.
Indicators of severe operating conditions can often be identified during snubber overhauls and other maintenance related activities.
3.0   SERVICE LIFE REEVALUATION Service life reevaluation should include the following considerations.
The operating environment for the majority of snubbers may be significantly less severe than described in the plant design specifications.
3.1   Knowledge, Determination and Documentation of the Operating Environment Service life monitoring takes into consideration the capability of the various snubber models to endure the full range of plant environments. Actual plant operating environments can differ significantly from the original plant design specifications.
Therefore, unnecessary overhauls or replacements may increase the number of failed or degraded snubbers due to handling or maintenance errors.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 110 of 166 Appendix G (Page 3 of 14)3.1 Knowledge, Determination and Documentation of the Operating Environment (continued)
The operating environment for the majority of snubbers may be significantly less severe than described in the plant design specifications. Therefore, unnecessary overhauls or replacements may increase the number of failed or degraded snubbers due to handling or maintenance errors.

Snubbers in severe environments may require augmented surveillance, including "hands-on" evaluations (e.g., hand stroking) or inplace monitoring.
Where there has been minimal degradation due to the service environment, it may be appropriate to extend the previously established service life. Service life extension should be based on a technical evaluation of the snubber performance that includes knowledge pertaining to the current level of service-related degradation as well as to the degradation rate. Service life extension evaluations might include monitoring degradation parameters (i.e., seal compression set in hydraulic snubbers, drag force in mechanical snubbers or operating experience in a similar environment).

[7] CHECK the environmental data for the snubber location:
One important aspect is to determine exactly what the snubber settings were prior to the failure and what the snubber settings were at the time of the failure. Some utilities perform snubber measurements from a fixed point on the snubber. These measurements are recorded during the visual examinations, as well as, being documented in the Work Orders (WO) that remove the snubber from the piping system. These measurements are usually documented to the nearest 1/32nd of an inch. The importance of these measurements is that the evaluator can measure any wear marks found on the snubber and correlate the location and lengths of these wear marks to the actual snubber settings.
Harsh or mild environment Temperature range Radiation dose
This information can aid the evaluator in determining if these wear marks are due to the normal snubber movements (cold or hot setting) or due to vibration in either the hot or cold position.[7] CHECK the retainer ring at the housing to ensure that it was installed correctly (flat side down).

Mechanical Snubber Failure Analysis Approach, Failure Modes, Indications and Failure Cause 1.0   GENERAL In performing any snubber analysis a full investigation should be performed prior to making any determination of the failure cause. This should be done since there may be very subtle causes, which can be masked by NOT performing a slow and methodical investigation. All parts should be Match Marked prior to disassembly, since the disassembly of the snubber may destroy evidence of the true cause of the snubber failure. In this approach a failure denotes a snubber NOT meeting its functional test acceptance criteria. The test data may show that the snubber is degraded or that it is a functional failure.
If solvents are required during the performance of the investigation, only approved solvents should be used to clean the parts.
2.0   SNUBBER LOCATION HISTORY DATA:
[1]     GIVE a general history of the snubber location using the following as a guideline:
* Any previous functional test or visual examinations
* Any previous functional test or visual examinations
* Snubber location in the plant* Snubber installed orientation
* Snubber location in the plant
* Does the snubber have a transition tube kit or a forward bracket installed?
* Snubber installed orientation
If a transition kit is installed what is the pin-to-pin dimension?
* Does the snubber have a transition tube kit or a forward bracket installed? If a transition kit is installed what is the pin-to-pin dimension?
* Which end of the snubber (transition tube/forward bracket or the snubber body) is attached to the pipe?[2] REVIEW any and all previously performed snubber visual examination and functional test data.[3] PERFORM a field walk down of the snubber location to determine any adverse environmental conditions, such as:* Is the snubber in a location where it could be hit, kicked or stepped upon during maintenance activities?
* Which end of the snubber (transition tube/forward bracket or the snubber body) is attached to the pipe?
[2]     REVIEW any and all previously performed snubber visual examination and functional test data.
[3]     PERFORM a field walk down of the snubber location to determine any adverse environmental conditions, such as:
* Is the snubber in a location where it could be hit, kicked or stepped upon during maintenance activities?
* Are there any signs of pipe leakage (water, steam, etc.) in the area?
* Are there any signs of pipe leakage (water, steam, etc.) in the area?

          "     Is this location required for seismic or is it only required for operational transient loads?
[4] Are there any foreign materials on the exterior of the snubber? If so, would they interfere with the operation of the snubber?* Duct tape* Insulation materials* Corrosion products* Dirt or debris* Paint or other coatings[5] CHECK the external surfaces of the snubber for any signs of discoloration due to excessive temperatures.
[6] REVIEW the piping stress analyses to determine if there are other snubbers subject to the same failure mode. An example is, if a snubber failure occurred on the "A" loop is there a similar location on the "B" loop?
[6] FULLY EXTEND the snubber, if possible, and DENOTE any wear or other types of marks found. The location and measurement (length, width and direction) of these marks and the actual snubber orientation during operation can be a vital clue as to what was happening to the snubber during operation.
[7] CHECK the environmental data for the snubber location:
One important aspect is to determine exactly what the snubber settings were prior to the failure and what the snubber settings were at the time of the failure. Some utilities perform snubber measurements from a fixed point on the snubber.These measurements are recorded during the visual examinations, as well as, being documented in the Work Orders (WO) that remove the snubber from the piping system. These measurements are usually documented to the nearest 1/32nd of an inch. The importance of these measurements is that the evaluator can measure any wear marks found on the snubber and correlate the location and lengths of these wear marks to the actual snubber settings.This information can aid the evaluator in determining if these wear marks are due to the normal snubber movements (cold or hot setting) or due to vibration in either the hot or cold position.[7] CHECK the retainer ring at the housing to ensure that it was installed correctly (flat side down).

[10] MATCH MARK the transition tube kit or forward bracket to the snubber body and remove the transition tube kit or forward bracket.Throughout the disassembly process, all parts should be checked for any signs of contamination, damage or wear.
 
Appendix I (Page 6 of 21)4.0 INTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE PSA SNUBBERS: 4.1 General[1] Contamination has most notably been caused by wear products due to internal friction between the parts. A very fine reddish brown colored substance found on the internal parts may be due to fretting corrosion due to a vibration concern. This reddish brown colored substance has the consistency of a fine dust and is usually found throughout the snubber during disassembly.

4.5 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Torque Carrier and Shaft Assembly Evaluation:
* Is the anti-rotation key intact?
[1] Before removing the torque carrier and shaft assembly, CHECK the lubricant on the tip of the compression side of the shaft.* SLOWLY REMOVE and then INSPECT the torque carrier and shaft assembly.* CHECK the lubricant on the shaft.* INSPECT the compression and tension side ends of the shaft.* The ends of the shaft of the torque carrier and shaft assembly are"cupped".
* Is the guide plate retaining ring intact?
It is very important to inspect these ends for wear or damage.Use a magnifying glass. Damaged ends of the shaft could cause the shaft to bind in the insert area of the housing and insert assembly or in the pivot bearing. If the cupped ends are "mushroomed", the shaft may have been subjected to an overload." CHECK the run-outs on the shaft in three places: At the torque carrier, at mid span and at the tension side end.

CHECK that the keeper rings are installed properly.
[1]   Removing the housing and insert assembly:
Improper installation of the keeper rings could cause the capstan spring to be "cocked".
[2]   STAND the unit vertically on the housing and insert assembly and REMOVE the retaining ring holding the outer tube to the housing and insert assembly.
This could lead to the capstan spring binding on the capstan area of the inner tube. This would lead to high drag loads during the functional test.REMOVE the outer keeper ring and REMOVE the capstan spring.ENSURE that you know what side of the keeper was contacting the capstan spring.* INSPECT the outside surface, the inside surface, the faces that contact the keeper rings and especially the "tang" areas of the capstan spring for wear or damage.* NOTE excessive wear on the capstan spring surfaces, especially at the"tang" areas. Wear in these areas may be an indication of a piping vibration concern., Is the inside "running" surface of the capstan spring greasy or dry?4.7 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Rod and Bearing Assembly Evaluation:
[3]   Keep a gentle pressure on the snubber and TURN the snubber upside down so the housing and insert assembly is pointing upwards. SLOWLY LIFT the housing and insert assembly from the snubber.
[1] ROTATE the rod and bearing assembly to disengage the anti-rotation key and REMOVE the anti-rotation key.[2] REMOVE the retaining ring that holds the rod and bearing assembly to the inside of the inner tube and REMOVE the rod and bearing assembly.INSPECT the rod and bearing assembly for any signs of contamination or degradation., TAKE run-outs on the rod and bearing assembly.
Care should be taken NOT to lose the ball from the housing and insert assembly. The ball usually sticks in the insert assembly or to the end of the shaft.

BASIS FOR RELIEF: ASME Section XI Code, Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are examined and tested in accordance with Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section XI program. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section XI and the plant TRM would result in duplication of effort utilizing different standards and require the preparation of a separate program and associated procedures.
BASIS FOR RELIEF:
This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure.
ASME Section XI Code, Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are examined and tested in accordance with Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM),
In addition the personnel performing snubber visual examinations would also be required to be certified in accordance with the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A "Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing", which is an additional certification as compared to the task training qualification required to perform the TRM required examinations and testing of snubbers.The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers was promulgated, accepted, and approved by NRC.The implementation of ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, would require BFN to initiate a snubber examination and testing program that is more complicated and expensive to perform, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section XI program.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 157 of 166 Appendix J (Page 4 of 6)JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: The current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by ASME Section XI Code, 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda and requirements defined in ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated in the 0 & M Code referenced by the 1995 Edition. IWF-5300(a) covers the snubber visual inspection requirements and IWF-5300(b) covers the snubber functional test requirements.
 
Examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is currently performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4, which utilizes the guidance provided by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The 0 & M Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and test plans (10%, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing efforts and different requirements for snubber quantities subject to examination or test, actually examined and/or tested, and sample expansion requirements.

This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF:
The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers has been promulgated and accepted by NRC. The differences in the two programs could create confusion when selecting test samples, applying acceptance criteria, corrective actions and examination schedules for failed snubbers.
The current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by ASME Section XI Code, 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda and requirements defined in ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated in the 0 & M Code referenced by the 1995 Edition. IWF-5300(a) covers the snubber visual inspection requirements and IWF-5300(b) covers the snubber functional test requirements.
This situation could increase the possibility of applying the wrong action, thus creating a nonconformance, an in-operability or even a violation of a TRM requirement.

The TRM was developed based on the guidance contained in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The Generic Letter 90-09 methodology for selection of snubbers for inspection and testing was developed to maintain a high confidence level that snubbers are capable of fulfilling their function, while minimizing radiological exposure associated with these activities.

IWF-21 10(a) (5) and (c), Duties of the Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspector (ANII), for snubbers.
Personnel performing examinations and testing under the TRM program are task-qualified to demonstrate the capability to perform the tasks. Under the ASME Section Xl program, inspection personnel would require qualification to ANSI/ASNT CP-189 "ASNT Standard for Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel." This places an additional qualification and certification burden that is not needed to ensure the quality of snubber examinations and testing.Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section XI and the plant TRM would require maintaining two programs with different standards for selection, examination and testing of snubbers.
 
This duplication of an existing NRC-accepted program imposes unnecessary costs and administrative burden, and would result in unnecessary additional radiological exposure without a compensating increase in safety.ALTERNATE EXAMINATIONS:
Appendix K (Page 2 of 5)
The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the selection, visual examination and functional testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and for repair/replacement activities.
BASIS FOR RELIEF:
The procedures utilized for these examinations are maintained by TVA per the requirements of the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program. Visual examination and testing of snubbers is performed in accordance with the following procedures:
ASME Section X1, Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are required to be selected, examined, and tested in accordance with BFN Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM),
1-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, "Functional Testing of Mechanical Snubbers", 0-Sl-4.6.H-2B, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek Hydraulic Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints", 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, "Functional Testing of Grinnell Hydraulic Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, "Functional Testing of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers",
Technical Requirement (TR) 3.7.4. The TRM was developed based on the guidance contained in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The Generic Letter 90-09 methodology for selection of snubbers for inspection and testing was developed to maintain a high confidence level that snubbers are capable of fulfilling their function, while minimizing radiological exposure associated with these activities. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions.
Appendix K (Page 3 of 5)MPI-0-000-SNBOO1, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Grinnell Unit Disassembly and Reassembly", MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling and Fronek Unit Disassembly and Reassembly", and MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek and Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers".
Personnel performing examinations and testing under the TRM program are task-qualified to demonstrate the capability to perform the tasks. Under the ASME Section Xl program, inspection personnel would require qualification to ANSI/ASNT CP-189 "ASNT Standard for Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel." This places an additional qualification and certification burden that is not needed to ensure the quality of snubber examinations and testing.
The TRM requirements are applicable to the pin-to-pin portion, inclusive, of applicable snubbers.Snubber examination testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, and the implementing procedures.
Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section XI and the plant TRM would require maintaining two programs with different standards for selection, examination and testing of snubbers. This duplication of an existing NRC-accepted program imposes unnecessary costs and administrative burden, and would result in unnecessary additional radiological exposure without a compensating increase in safety.
The structural portions of the component supports, other than the snubbers, inclusive of the pin back to the building structure and also to the component/piping being supported, will remain in the ASME Section Xl examination boundary (ISI Program).JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: The BFN Unit 1 TRM snubber inspection and testing program, defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI and ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988) and requirements.

The TRM requirements are applicable to the pin-to-pin portion, inclusive, of applicable snubbers.
Snubber examination testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, and the implementing procedures.
The structural portions of the component supports, other than the snubbers, inclusive of the pin back to the building structure and also to the component/piping being supported, will remain in the ASME Section Xl examination boundary (ISI Program).
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF:
The BFN Unit 1 TRM snubber inspection and testing program, defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI and ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988) and requirements.
For BFN Unit 1, selection, examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is required to be performed in accordance with both ASME'Section XI and TR 3.7.4, which is based on the guidance contained in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The Generic Letter 90-09 methodology for selection of snubbers for inspection and testing was developed to maintain a high confidence level that snubbers are capable of fulfilling their function, while minimizing radiological exposure associated with these activities.

Because ASME Section XI has a different basis for developing examination and testing plans, it is impractical to implement the requirements of both programs.
Because ASME Section XI has a different basis for developing examination and testing plans, it is impractical to implement the requirements of both programs. Implementing both programs would require employing different criteria for identifying the total snubber inspection and testing populations, for identifying the test groups and intervals, and for determining inspection and test sample expansion when required. These contradictory requirements would result in additional cost, unnecessary program implementation complexity, and unnecessary radiological exposure. Therefore, TVA proposes that the BFN Unit 1 snubber examination and testing program be based on the requirements contained in the BFN TR 3.7.4.
Implementing both programs would require employing different criteria for identifying the total snubber inspection and testing populations, for identifying the test groups and intervals, and for determining inspection and test sample expansion when required.
 
These contradictory requirements would result in additional cost, unnecessary program implementation complexity, and unnecessary radiological exposure.

Therefore, TVA proposes that the BFN Unit 1 snubber examination and testing program be based on the requirements contained in the BFN TR 3.7.4.
The 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI, Subarticle IWF-1 220 requires that inservice inspection of snubbers be performed in accordance with IWF-5000. IWF-5200 requires that examinations be performed in accordance with ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988). IWF-5400 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section Xl requires snubber repair and replacement to be performed in accordance with IWA-4000. The BFN TRM program, defined in TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers, and snubbers that have repairs which might affect the functional test results, to be tested to meet the functional test acceptance criteria prior to installation. Accordingly, the intent of IWA-4000 is already met under the BFN Unit 1 TRM program. Futher, BFN Maintenance Procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria following installation of a snubber after repair or replacement.
BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 163 of 166 Appendix K (Page 4 of 5)The 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI, Subarticle IWF-1 220 requires that inservice inspection of snubbers be performed in accordance with IWF-5000.
To meet the requirements, personnel performing snubber visual inspections must be certified in accordance with ASME Section XI VT-3 requirements. Under the TRM program, personnel are required to be "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing.
IWF-5200 requires that examinations be performed in accordance with ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988).
This training requires a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the requirements and maintenance procedure acceptance criteria. Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria specified in the TRM implementing procedures will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
IWF-5400 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section Xl requires snubber repair and replacement to be performed in accordance with IWA-4000.
Because relief is sought from the ASME Section XI snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section XI snubber examination and test activities that will require ANII involvement. The BFN TRM snubber program will not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements. The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required Visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements. A snubber program engineer will provide the oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both the visualexamination and functional testing. This oversight will include both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager will provide the oversight that will ensure an acceptable level of quality and safety exist without ANII involvement in these activities. ANII involvement will be maintained in inservice repair and replacement snubber activities, as required by IWA-21 10(g) and (h) and implemented by BFN's ASME Section XI Repair and Replacement Program.
The BFN TRM program, defined in TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers, and snubbers that have repairs which might affect the functional test results, to be tested to meet the functional test acceptance criteria prior to installation.
ASME Section XI Subarticle IWA-6230 provides requirements for ISI and testing documentation for snubbers in the framework of a summary report. Under the alternate requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section XI ISI to document in a summary report.
Accordingly, the intent of IWA-4000 is already met under the BFN Unit 1 TRM program. Futher, BFN Maintenance Procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria following installation of a snubber after repair or replacement.
 
To meet the requirements, personnel performing snubber visual inspections must be certified in accordance with ASME Section XI VT-3 requirements.
BFN                 Snubber Program Procedure               0-TI-398 Unit 0                                                       Rev. 0005 Page 164 of 166 Appendix K (Page 5 of 5)
Under the TRM program, personnel are required to be "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing.This training requires a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the requirements and maintenance procedure acceptance criteria.
TR 3.7.4 will be implemented per surveillance instructions and maintenance instructions written and approved in accordance with the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program.
Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria specified in the TRM implementing procedures will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.Because relief is sought from the ASME Section XI snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section XI snubber examination and test activities that will require ANII involvement.
These procedures include data sheets for documenting the visual examination and functional test data and results, and provide for documentation of nonconforming results and evaluation of those results. The completed data sheets will be QA records controlled and maintained in accordance with the BFN QA records program. These records will be available onsite for review and inspection.
The BFN TRM snubber program will not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements.
The examination and testing of snubbers under the BFN Unit 1 TRM program provides and acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a (a) (3) (i), TVA requests that relief be granted from the ASME Section XI requirements related to IS[ and testing of snubbers.
The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required Visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements.
TVA's request for relief 1-ISI-18 is consistent with request for relief 3-ISI-2 submitted by TVA letters dated January 22, 1997, as supplemented by TVA letter dated October 29, 1998, for the BFN Unit 3 Second Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The NRC staff approved the request for relief by letter dated May 3, 1999.
A snubber program engineer will provide the oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both the visualexamination and functional testing. This oversight will include both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager will provide the oversight that will ensure an acceptable level of quality and safety exist without ANII involvement in these activities.
TVA's relief for Unit 1 is also consistent with request for relief 2-ISI-1 3 submitted by TVA letter dated October 25, 2002, for the BFN Unit 2 Third Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The NRC staff approved the request for relief by letter dated January 7, 2003.

Pivot pin retaining ring is properly instailed, if required.
Security locking devices (i.e., locking tabs or wire) on snubber attachment bolts properly installed, if required.
Centerline of the clamp assembly and structurai attachment offset (i.e., a misalignment with the snubber axis exists) should be no greater than + or - 6 degrees based on the clearances between the rod eyes, or paddles, and the attachment clevis. Contact of these parts, which produces a side load on the snubber is unacceptable.

The later version of the snubbers has a zi no-cadmnium-chro mate stabilized plating.2) The standard size of the spherical bearing on the PSA-10 snubbers was changed from 7/8 inch to 1 inch on the later version. However, the later version can be furnished with the 7/8 inch spherical bearing.3) Removal/Reinstallation of snubbers is to be performed generally in accordance with the following steps. The steps may be performed out of sequence as required to best facilitate the flow of work.4) Document removal and reinstallation data for the snubber on Attachment 4 Data Sheet, Removal and Reinstallation of Snubbers.1.0 REMOVAL OF PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC MECHANICAL SNUBBERS NOTES 1) Care should be exercised to catch the spacers as the pin or stud is removed.2) The snubbers through size PSA 10 may be easily operated by hand to extend or retract, as necessary, to ease removal of the snubber. For sizes PSA-35 and -100, both pivot pins will require removal, and rigging should be used as necessary to support the snubber.3) The foreman should record the diameter of the pivot pin from the PSA-1 0 snubbers as either 7/8 inch or 1 inch in the remarks section of the Attachment 4 Data Sheet, as a reminder when reinstalling the snubber.4) When exchanging of an end plug is required on an existing PSA 10 with 7/8 inch diameter pins to a PSA 10 with 1 inch diameter pins, refer to Attachment 7 for instructions.

: 1)   It is preferred to reinstall the unit in the same restraint assembly, using the identification mark. Using units of similar bore and stroke is possible at any given location, but should be done on a case-by-case basis under the direction of the Snubber Engineer or designee.
: 2)   The permanent spacer washers on the end attachments may be filed smooth in order to facilitate installation of the end piece of the Lisega dynamic restraint.
: 3)   Prior to rigging a Lisega snubber into place verify pin-to-pin dimensions of snubber and attachments to ensure they match and adjust snubber's length as required. For adjustment instructions see Steps 2.0[9.1] thru 2.0[9.4].
[1]     PERFORM the following:
[1.1]     INSERT the short alignment pin into the torus wall bracket.
[1.2]     INSERT the torus dynamic restraint bottom paddle between the torus wall bracket.
[1.3]     INSERT the special 4 inch tapered two piece pin as directed by Step 2.0[8] into the torus wall bracket.
[1.4]     SWING the front clevis down between the torus bracket ears.
NOTE If the test machine is attached to the restraint it may be used to adjust the restraint for repining and Steps 2.0[2] thru 2.0[6] may be omitted.
[2]     CONNECT the hydraulic hoses from the Enerpac power unit to the Enerpac cylinder.

[3]     INSERT the short alignment pin into one of the torus ears (tapered end first).
[4]     TURN the power unit on and EXTEND the restraints' stroke out until the alignment pin slides freely through both the ball bushing and the opposite torus ear.
[5]     Once the temporary pin is inserted, DISCONNECT the hydraulic hoses and UNTHREAD the 1-1/4 inch - 7 UNC load rod from the trunnion until the 1-1/4 inch - 7 UNC screw is accessible.
[6]     REMOVE the cap screw and bracket/cylinder/load rod.
[7]     ENSURE the restraint is completely restrained.
[8]     INSTALL the Special 4 Inch Tapered Two Piece Pins as follows:
[8.1]     DISASSEMBLE the tapered pin assembly.
[8.2]     APPLY a thin film of lubricant to the OD of the sleeve and to the threads and tapered surface of the pin. USE Never Seez Pure Nickel, Neolube 1 or 2, Felpro C5-A Nuclear Grade, Fel-Pro N-7000 or G.E. Silicone Grease, G-351.
[8.3]     VERIFY the bore of the bracket and the bearing are free of burrs, rust, and debris.
[8.4]     INSERT the tapered pin in the thin end of the sleeve until the threaded portion of the pin is such that the slotted nut can be started.
[8.5]     PLACE a wrench on the pin head to restrain the pin while tightening the slotted nut.

[8.6]     TORQUE both slotted nuts of both special 4 inch tapered two piece pins to 100 ft-lbs. Otherwise, TORQUE the upper paddle special 4 inch tapered two piece pin to 100 ft-lbs.
[8.7]     BACK the nut off only enough to align a set of slots in the nut with the first available hole.
[8.8]     INSERT the cotter pin(s) in the hole(s). SPREAD the cotter pin(s) enough to prevent falling out.
[9]     OBTAIN the "As-Left" position setting. RECORD the value on Attachment 4 Data Sheet.
NOTES
: 1) For Bergen-Paterson, the piston position setting may be obtained by measuring from the face of the rod head to the beginning of the taper on the rod near the wrench flats and subtracting 1/16 of an inch. See Illustration 1A.
: 2) For Lisega, the piston rod extension is the distance(X)from the front head of the snubber to the outside edge marked on piston rod (nearest 1/8 inch), as shown on Illustration 1B: Record on Attachment 4 Data Sheet.
: 3) For Lisega, the reservoir plunger reading (L) is the reading from the rear plate to the end of the plunger rod (nearest 1/8 inch), as shown on Illustration 1 B: Record on Attachment 4 Data Sheet.
: 4) If the torus dynamic restraint (Lisega or Bergen-Paterson) piston is at the end of its stroke it may be necessary to adjust the piston length. This may be performed on the snubber installed in the plant without removing the installation pins. This adjustment is performed under the direction of the Snubber Engineer/Designee utilizing the following steps.

....................................................................................................
1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing of mechanical snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety related systems, inside and outside of the drywell.
5 1 .1 P u rp o s e ........................................................................................................................
1.2 Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are accessible during reactor operation (outside the drywell) and inaccessible during reactor operation (inside the drywell). The Pacific Scientific Company (PSC) mechanical snubbers belong to Subgroups 3a, 3b, 4, and 6.
5 1 .2 S c o p e ............................................................................................................................
The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to the visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1.
5 1.3 Frequency/C onditions
This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers addressed as PSA-1/4,
...............................................................................................
    -1/2, -1, etc. for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:
6
* Removal and reinstallation of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2 and 5.
* Provides the requirements for functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers. This instruction covers subgroups 3a, 3b, 4 and 6 (see Appendix A for snubber subgroup information). To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, other Surveillance Instructions, O-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2C, O-SI-4.6.H-2D, and O-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.
* Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction.
    "    This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of mechanical snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.
* All PSA-1/4 snubbers (inside the drywell) should be stroke tested during each refueling outage, as close to the end of the outage as possible.

This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers.
B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell (preferably no earlier than 60 days prior to the start of the outage), but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell.
C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode.
D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel.
E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable.
F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system.
G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM.
The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be documented on Attachment 4.
H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

A thorough briefing should be conducted on SI performance prior to starting.
The Pacific Scientific Company (PSC) mechanical snubbers belong to Subgroups 3a, 3b, 4, and 6.The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to the visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1.
B. The cognizant individual or Snubber Engineer responsible for the performance of the Surveillance Instruction must be qualified as a test director.
This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers addressed as PSA-1/4,-1/2, -1, etc. for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:* Removal and reinstallation of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2 and 5.* Provides the requirements for functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers.
C. Appropriate General Employee Training (GET) (including respirator training) should be received by test personnel prior to performing this SI.
This instruction covers subgroups 3a, 3b, 4 and 6 (see Appendix A for snubber subgroup information).
D. Training required for the testing of mechanical snubbers shall meet the requirements of Task Number MMY 502.
To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, other Surveillance Instructions, O-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2C, O-SI-4.6.H-2D, and O-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.* Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction." This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of mechanical snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.* All PSA-1/4 snubbers (inside the drywell) should be stroke tested during each refueling outage, as close to the end of the outage as possible.
7.2  Preparation of Test Data Package
BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 6 of 36 1.3 Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers.B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell (preferably no earlier than 60 days prior to the start of the outage), but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell.C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode.D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel.E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable.
[1]    EXCLUDE the snubbers from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are scheduled for deletion in accordance with approved Design Change Notices.
F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system.G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM.The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function.
[2]    EXCLUDE the snubbers until the next outage from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are to be added in accordance with approved Design Change Notices.
The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be documented on Attachment 4.H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.
[3]    SELECT snubbers for retest which were placed in the same location as snubbers which failed during the previous outage, if the failure analysis showed that the failure was due to the location. However, these snubbers shall be tested in addition to the initial 10 percent test lot (sample plan).
BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 7 of 36 1.3 Frequency/Conditions (continued)
[4]    DETERMINE the initial test lot (sample plan) as follows:
: 1. Snubbers removed for maintenance or determined to be inoperable on a non-operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced, in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and tested in accordance with this instruction, prior to declaring the system operable.J. For all subgroups, when subsequent testing is required, it shall continue within the respective subgroup until no failure is found.K. New, replaced or rebuilt snubber(s) shall meet the functional test acceptance criteria before their installation in the unit and must have been functionally tested "Satisfactory", within 12 months prior to their installation.
              "    SELECT 10 percent of the snubbers from subgroups 3a, 3b, 4 and 6 (see Appendix A).
* In general, SELECT the snubbers with the most time from the previous test.
* Sample should be weighed to include more snubbers from severe service areas (i.e., inside the drywell).
* SELECT snubbers that have experienced severe transients.
              "    SELECT snubbers of various sizes.
* If one snubber from a pair of parallel snubbers at the same location along the pipe (restrain in the same direction) is selected for testing the other snubber from that pair also should be selected for testing.

The design features that set the PSA-1, PSA-3 and PSA-10 mechanical snubbers apart from the small and large mechanical snubbers are the use of a ball screw with a traveling nut that is prevented from rotating by keys traveling in slots. This arrangement is used to transform stroking motion of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass. These snubbers are divided into subgroups 3a and 3b.Subgroup 3a NF design -These snubbers were designed and manufactured in accordance with subsection NF of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.Materials used for manufacture of the snubber components meet the subsection NF code requirements.
                "     ENSURE the Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor has been notified of the inoperable snubber.

* INITIATE a Work Order (WO) to replace the snubber, if necessary.
Previous functional testing shows that these snubbers have a higher than average failure rate.Ui BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 20 of 36 Appendix A (Page 2 of 2)Subgrouping of Mechanical Snubbers 1.2 Subgroup 4 This subgroup is based on the design features and is composed of Pacific Scientific Company small mechanical snubbers ranging in capacity from 350 pounds to 650 pounds and are designated as PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2. The design features that set them apart from the other PSA mechanical snubbers are the use of a coarse lead screw and brass nut to transform stroking of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass. The brass nut has two slots engaged with two small diameter steel rods that prevent rotation of the nut, but permit the nut to travel along the rods as the snubber is stroked. The rods can be bent during sudden overload of the snubber or by rotating the ends of the snubber during installation when the pins in the front end attachment or pipe clamp and the base plate clevis are NOT in proper alignment.
* PERFORM a failure evaluation of any inoperable snubber(s) and DOCUMENT on Attachment 3.
1.3 Subgroup 6 This subgroup is based on design features and is composed of large mechanical snubbers as designed and manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company. They range in capacity from 50,000 pounds to 120,000 pounds and are designated as PSA-35 and PSA-100. The PSA-35 and PSA-100 snubbers are equipped with planetary gearing which is NOT used in the other sizes. As stated above this arrangement is used to transform stroking motion of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass.When snubbers are added, deleted, or changed, based on modifications, they are added or deleted from their appropriate subgroups.
* PERFORM the supported system or component evaluation on Attachment 4, if required.
If the added snubbers do NOT fit an existing subgroup, a revision to this SI describing the new subgroup or a revision to an existing subgroup is required.Snubbers tested from severe service areas will remain a part of their respective design subgroup, unless a failure analysis is performed and a separate subgroup is justified and incorporated into this SI.Severe service areas include inside the drywell and in the main steam valve vault room.There have been minimal failures of snubbers in these locations, therefore, testing 10 percent of the snubbers in these areas each refueling outage satisfies the intent of the surveillance requirement.
* SELECT subsequent test lot(s), as required for functional test failure, or other snubbers for verification, as specified on Attachment 6.

All of these snubbers are found on the MSRV Tailpipes in the Units 2 and 3 drywells.When one of these snubbers fails it is to be replaced with a new PSA-10 snubber and the end plug and rear bracket are required to be transferred to the new snubber. This is required because the pin size of the existing snubber is 7/8 inch and the new snubber is 1 inch diameter.The following instructions are to be followed when exchanging the end plug.A. REMOVE the filister head screws and flat washers to free the position indicator tube from the end plug assembly of the old and the new snubber.B. If the screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE.C. REMOVE the position indicator tube.D. PLACE the snubber on a work bench or stand.E. Using an appropriate Allen Wrench, REMOVE the set screws from the end plug assembly.F. If the screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE.G. After removing the set screws, USE a size No. 30 drill for a PSA-1 and size No. 23 for a PSA-10, to remove the distorted threads of the telescoping cylinder caused by the set screws.H. DRILL only to the depth necessary to remove the distortions so the end plug assembly can rotate freely.I. USE eye protection, and REMOVE any loose drill shavings with clean compressed air.J. REMOVE the end plugs from the snubbers and exchange them as required.K. INSTALL the set screws and TIGHTEN to distort the threads on the telescoping cylinder.L. REINSTALL the position indicator tube over the end plug assembly and REINSTALL the filister head screws.
They range in capacity from 1500 pounds to 15,000 pounds and are designated as PSA-1, PSA-3, and PSA-10.

Instructions for Exchanging the End Plug from Old to New Snubber These instructions are to be followed at any time the end plug is required to be removed from one snubber and placed on a different snubber.
This will most likely take place when a PRE-NF (white) PSA-10 snubber is replaced with a new NF PSA-10 snubber. All of these snubbers are found on the MSRV Tailpipes in the Units 2 and 3 drywells.
When one of these snubbers fails it is to be replaced with a new PSA-10 snubber and the end plug and rear bracket are required to be transferred to the new snubber. This is required because the pin size of the existing snubber is 7/8 inch and the new snubber is 1 inch diameter.
The following instructions are to be followed when exchanging the end plug.
A. REMOVE the filister head screws and flat washers to free the position indicator tube from the end plug assembly of the old and the new snubber.
B. If the screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE.
C. REMOVE the position indicator tube.
D. PLACE the snubber on a work bench or stand.
E. Using an appropriate Allen Wrench, REMOVE the set screws from the end plug assembly.
F. Ifthe screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE.
G. After removing the set screws, USE a size No. 30 drill for a PSA-1 and size No. 23 for a PSA-10, to remove the distorted threads of the telescoping cylinder caused by the set screws.
H. DRILL only to the depth necessary to remove the distortions so the end plug assembly can rotate freely.
I. USE eye protection, and REMOVE any loose drill shavings with clean compressed air.
J. REMOVE the end plugs from the snubbers and exchange them as required.
K. INSTALL the set screws and TIGHTEN to distort the threads on the telescoping cylinder.
L. REINSTALL the position indicator tube over the end plug assembly and REINSTALL the filister head screws.

1.1  Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety related systems, inside and outside of the drywell.
1.2  Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are either accessible (outside of the Drywell) or inaccessible (inside the Drywell) during reactor operation. The Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers belong to Subgroup 1.
The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1.
This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers addressed as HSSA-3, -10, -20, -30, ADH-1 0, -20, -30, -50, -70 and -130 for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:
* Removal and reinstallation of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2.
* Provides the requirements for functional testing and service life monitoring of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers. This instruction covers subgroup 1 (see Appendix B for snubber subgroup information). To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, Surveillance Instructions 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.
* Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction.
      "    This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of hydraulic snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.

7 3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
                            .Hydraulic Snubbers              Page 6 of 48 1.3  Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1, Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers.
.......................................................................
B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell, but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell.
8 4.0 PREREQUISITES
C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode.
......................................................................................................
D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel.
8 5.0 SPECIAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED
E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable.
.......................................
F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system.
8 6.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA .......................................................................................
G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM.
8 7.0 PROCEDURE STEPS .............................................................................................
The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be recorded on Attachment 4.
10 7.1 Training and Qualification of Performers
H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety related systems, inside and outside of the drywell.1.2 Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are either accessible (outside of the Drywell) or inaccessible (inside the Drywell) during reactor operation.
==2.0   REFERENCES==
The Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers belong to Subgroup 1.The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1.
This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers addressed as HSSA-3, -10, -20, -30, ADH-1 0, -20, -30, -50, -70 and -130 for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:* Removal and reinstallation of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2.* Provides the requirements for functional testing and service life monitoring of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers.
This instruction covers subgroup 1 (see Appendix B for snubber subgroup information).
To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, Surveillance Instructions 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.* Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction." This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of hydraulic snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.
BFN Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B Unit 0 Anchor/Darling or Fronek Rev. 0008.Hydraulic Snubbers Page 6 of 48 1.3 Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1, Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers.B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell, but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell.C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode.D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel.E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable.
F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system.G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM.The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function.
The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be recorded on Attachment 4.H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

The "As-Found" test sequence may start with the Activation (AC) test, and then the Final Drag (FD) test.[7] As shown in Appendix A, Illustrations A-1 and A-2, fluid from the rod end (extension or "out" direction) activates the poppet in the connector tube end of the valve block. Fluid from the blind end (compression or "in" direction) activates the poppet under the poppet stop and plug.[8] If the snubber locks up at too low of a velocity, the width between the flats on the poppet head is too great, causing too much resistance to flow and the poppet closes at a low flow rate.[9] REPLACE the poppet with one which has a smaller distance between the flats Appendix A, Table A-1.NOTE A change of approximately 0.006 inches (0.003 inches each side) in the distance between the flats will change the lock-up velocity approximately one inch per minute.[10] If poppets are NOT available with the required dimensions, a small amount of material may be removed by filing/shaving or added by welding and then machined to the needed/finished dimension.
* IF the snubber has been rebuilt, THEN PERFORM the "As-Left" testing in accordance with this Section.

* IF the results of Step 7.3[10] DO NOT meet the acceptance criteria in Section 6.OB.2, THEN MAKE adjustments and PERFORM the "As-Left" test.
NOTE When enough material is to be removed that the squareness and symmetry is likely to be lost, the poppet heads are to be milled, removing the same amount of material from each side of the head.[11] Material may be added to the poppet head which is too narrow, using weld procedure GE-i 1-0-1.

ACCUMULATOR ::
For functional testing, the Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers, except 12 inch bore Torus dynamic restraints, belong to one subgroup as described below: Subgroup 1 All sizes of Bergen-Paterson (except the 12 inch bore Torus Dynamic Restraints), Anchor/Darling, and Fronek hydraulic snubbers.When snubbers are added, deleted, or changed, based on modifications, they are added or deleted from their appropriate subgroups.
COMPRESSION POPPET EXTENSION MAIN CYFINDER FLOWJ DURING EXTENSION SPRING LOADED
If the added snubbers do NOT fit an existing subgroup, a revision to this SI describing the new subgroup or a revision to an existing subgroup is required.Snubbers tested from severe service areas will remain a part of their respective subgroup, unless a failure analysis is performed and a separate subgroup is justified and incorporated into this SI.Severe service areas include inside the drywell and in the main steam valve vault room.There have been minimal failures of snubbers in these locations, therefore, testing 10 percent of the snubbers in these areas each refueling outage satisfies the intent of the surveillance requirement.

[1]     During the warm-up period, the frame drive cylinders should be stroked using the proportional valve and/or the jog/drag valve.
The maximum expected service life for various seals, seal materials and applications shall be estimated, based on engineering information and seals shall be replaced so that the maximum expected seal service life does NOT expire during a period when the snubber(s) are required to be operable.
[2]     The system should be checked for loose fittings, bolts, etc.
Based on current seal manufacturer's data and operating experience, ethylene propylene seals are expected to have a maximum service life of approximately 10 years for the Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers.
[3]     The filter indicators should be watched during cylinder stroking to insure that they are NOT illuminating.
This maximum seal service life may be extended to 17.3 years based on the evaluation results documented in Ref. 2.0K.The piston, piston rod, cylinder and glands are also subject to wear, especially in high vibration installations.
[4]     If the indicators are illuminating the filters should be changed before continuing with operation of the machine or any testing.
Those, and other moving parts of the snubber, should be examined carefully each time the seals are replaced, and replacements made to prevent leakage or other conditions of loss of function before the next time the snubber is to be rebuilt.To ensure that the seal service life does NOT expire and to distribute the work load between the refueling outages, replace the seals in approximately 10 percent of the Bergen-Paterson hydraulic snubbers each refueling outage. However, review the required seal service date on the data base and replace the seals whose required seal service date will occur before the next scheduled refueling outage, unless justification is provided for extending the service life of those seals. Seals replacement work shall be performed and documented in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO2.
3.0   DAILY CALIBRATION CHECKS The following calibration checks assure the functionality of the instrument and Data Acquisition and control System (DAS) for testing. They do not take the place of full system calibrations which must be performed on a periodic basis.
Seal service life monitoring data shall be recorded in an appropriate data base as determined by the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee.Each time that the seal service life start and expiration dates change as a result of seals replacement the data base should be revised to incorporate current status of the seal service life.
The instrument system (DAS system and transmitters) should be powered up for 30 minutes before any checks or testing is performed.

REV 0010                   Page 2 MAI-4.10 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides the requirements for new modification and maintenance work to ensure that sufficient space is available for thermal and seismic deflection of piping, components, and supports.       Compliance with these requirements will ensure that piping is free to function with the as-analyzed conditions without detrimental contact with other components/features and that all future work performed by plant personnel will not invalidate the analysis of Seismic Class I piping systems or Seismic Class II piping within the water spray program as evaluated by EQE Report 51001.02-ROO1.   [See CAQR BFP870631 (R76 870831 894)]
3 4 .0 DEFINITIONS  
2.0 SCOPE Seismic Class I piping has been analyzed based on as-built data obtained from piping system walkdowns. During the walkdowns, all   objects within a 2" envelope of the piping were identified. Using the pipe movement data from the piping analyses, clearances were evaluated and modifications were performed as necessary. Where the piping analyses indicated movement greater than 2", additional walkdowns were performed to identify any potential interferences. In addition to the Seismic Class I piping, Seismic Class II water filled piping was walked down to evaluate water spray hazards for Unit 2 operation.

Move the ball around until it moves with little force.
If unable to move the ball with little force after this, contact the Site Engineering Lead Civil Engineer to evaluate the spherical bearing.
The following is a list of Bergen-Paterson part numbers for strut and snubber assemblies which use carbon steel and stainless steel spherical bearings.

ENCLOSURE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) UNIT 1 AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS (ASME) SECTION XI, INSERVICE INSPECTION (ISI) PROGRAM, SECOND TEN-YEAR INSPECTION INTERVAL REQUEST FOR RELIEF 1-ISI-18 RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) (SEE ATTACHED)

ENCLOSURE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) UNIT 1 AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS (ASME) SECTION XI, INSERVICE INSPECTION (ISI) PROGRAM, SECOND TEN-YEAR INSPECTION INTERVAL REQUEST FOR RELIEF 1-ISI-18 RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) Backaround By letter dated May 27, 2008, TVA submitted the BFN Unit 1 ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection (ISI) program for the second Ten-year inspection interval. Included in the BFN Unit 1 program submittal was request for relief 1-ISI-18. Request for relief 1-ISI-18 addresses the BFN alternate program for the selection, examination, and testing of snubbers. During its review of BFN request for relief 1-ISI-18, the NRC staff identified questions by letter dated September 15, 2008. Listed below are the specific NRC questions and the corresponding TVA response. In support of NRc's review the procedures referenced in this RAI response are provided as attachments to this enclosure. NRC Request No. 1 The licensee requested relief from the requirements of the 2001 Edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) with 2003 addenda, Section IWF-5300(a) and (b) of Article IWF-5000. The Article IWF-5000 also contains requirements for snubber preservice examinations and tests in IWF-5200 and requirements for integral and nonintegral attachments for snubbers in IWF-5300(c). Explain whether and how the requirements of IWF-5200(a), (b), and (c) and IWF-5300(c) will be met. TVA Response to NRC Request No. 1 In lieu of requirements of IWF-5200(a) and (b), the examination and testing requirements will be met by the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Snubber Program, prepared in accordance with the guidance contained in Generic Letter 90-09. As stated in TVA's request for relief, the areas inclusive of the pins back to the building structure and to the component/piping being supported will remain in the ASME Section XI examination boundary (ISI Program); therefore, IWF-5200(c) and IWF-5300(c) will be met by the Section XI Program. E-2

NRC Request No. 2 On page 91 of 105 of the May 27, 2008 submittal, the licensee requested relief from Section IWF-5400 of the Article IWF-5000 and ASME/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements OM-1987, Part 4 (OM-4) with OMa-1988, Section 1.5.6 and 1.5.7. IWF-5400, Repair/Replacement states that: Repair/replacement activities performed on snubbers shall be in accordance with IWA-4000. Snubbers installed, corrected or modified by repair/replacement activities shall be examined and tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of IWF-5200 prior to return to service. Provide an explanation whether and how IWA-4000 and IWF-5200 requirements will be met. TVA Response to NRC Reauest No. 2 The provisions of IWA-4000 will be met for the repair/replacement activities on snubbers by the current Repair and Replacement Program. TVA seeks relief from the examination and testing requirements of IWF-5200 required by IWF-5400 which requires snubbers installed, corrected, or modified by repair/replacement activities to be examined and tested in accordance with ASME/ANSI OM, Part 4. The examination and testing of snubbers [IWF-5200(a) and (b)] will be in accordance with the TRM Snubber Program. As stated in TVA's request for relief, the areas inclusive of the pins back to the building structure and to the component/piping being supported will remain in the ASME Section XI examination boundary (ISI Program); therefore, IWF-5200(c) will be met by the Section XI Program. NRC Request No. 3 On page 91 of 105 of the May 27, 2008 submittal, Basis for Relief, the licensee stated that the Plant Technical Requirement Manual (TRM), Section TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given in Generic Letter (GL) 90-09, Alternative Requirements for Snubber Visual Inspection Intervals and CorrectiveActions. GL 90-09 only provides guidance for Snubber Visual Examination Intervals and Corrective Actions. GL-90-09 does not replace any other requirements of the OM-4, such as preservice examination (section 2.1), examination documentation (section 2.4), inservice operability testing (section 3.2), testing documentation (section 3.3), etc. Explain how these requirements are met in the proposed alternative. TVA Response to NRC Request No. 3 Below, TVA is providing a comparison of the OM Part 4 requirements in Sections 2.1, 2.4, 3.2, and 3.3 and the BFN TRM alternatives. OM Part 4 Section 2.1.1(a) There are no visible signs of damage or impaired operability as a result of storage, handling or installation. The alternate requirements in the BFN Surveillance Instruction (SI) 1-SI-4.6.H-1, , "Visual Examination Checklist for All Snubbers" checklist Item A reads: "The E-3

snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability" and specifically includes observing the exposed parts of the snubber for broken parts, deformation, or other damage that could result in unacceptable performance. OM Part 4 Section 2.1.1(b) the snubber load rating, location, orientation, position setting, and configuration (attachments, extensions, etc.) are in accordance with design drawings and specifications. Installation records (based on physical inspections) verifying the snubbers were installed according to design drawings and specifications shall be acceptable in meeting this requirement. The BFN alternate requirements in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1 are as follows: Section 7.2 G states "The snubbers are assigned a UNID number in an appropriate tracking program, which provides current and historical information for a specific snubber or support location." Section 7.2 H states "The snubbers are listed in Appendix A by exam number." Appendix A provides additional information such as snubber drawing no., type/size, support number, and location. Snubber drawing number may be used to access the design drawing of a snubber, showing the location plan, material description, orientation, configuration (to include attachments, extensions and others), design requirements such as design travel/thermal movements and position settings. Section 7.2 I of the SI states that "A unique snubber/support number is given to each snubber location on a system." MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, Attachment 1, Note 2 states: "Document removal and reinstallation data for the snubber on Attachment 4." Snubber data listed in Attachment 4 relevant to these requirements includes: As-Found Position Indication Reading (for mechanical type), As-Found Index (Plunger) Reading, As-Found Piston Reading and others (for hydraulic type). Collection and recording data in Attachment 4 is done prior to removal of the snubber for functional testing and after reinstallation. OM Part 4 Section 2.1.1(c) adequate swing clearance is provided to allow snubber movement The BFN alternate states that the item is to be observed in performance of visual SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1. Attachment 2 of the SI contains the following verifications: Centerline of the clamp assembly and structural attachment offset (i.e., a misalignment with the snubber axis exists) by no greater than plus or minus 6 degrees based on the clearances between the rod eyes, paddles, and the attachment clevis. Contact of these parts, which produces a side load on the snubber is unacceptable. Observe spacers are installed on each side of the snubber eye to reduce the misalignment and or binding. Space shall not exceed 1/16 inch on either side or 1/8 inch total. Observe for evidence of torsional binding (i.e. mechanical snubber twisted along its axis by the pipe clamp and structural attachments). OM Part 4 Section 2.1.1(d) if applicable, fluid is at the recommended level and fluid is not leaking from the snubber system. The BFN Alternate fluid level acceptability check for hydraulic snubbers is included in the visual SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1 data sheets or Attachments 3, 4, and 6 that state: "If the reservoir E-4

Plunger cannot be seen the reservoir is empty. The fluid level is unacceptable. Notify immediately the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee. Write a Work Order to remove the snubber and take to the snubber test facility to have functional test performed. If the fluid level is unacceptable, but not empty, add GE SF 1154 silicon fluid using a fluid gun with a special hydraulic fill coupling until the fluid level reading is at or approximately same as the piston rod extension given above. Examine snubber for location and cause of leaks. Record locations in Remarks. Notify the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee to evaluate and document the unacceptable condition on Attachment 6." MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, Attachment 1, Section 1.0[1] states: "perform visual inspection of the snubber for any visible damage or fluid leakage." Further, Section 1.0[8.2] states: "if the fluid level is unacceptable, but not empty, add GE SF 1154 silicon fluid using a hydraulic fluid gun until the fluid level reading is at or approximately the same as the piston rod extension given above. Notify the Snubber Engineer/Designee to take appropriate action." OM Part 4 Section 2.1.1(e) structural connections such as pins, bearings, studs, fasteners, and other connecting hardware such as locknuts, tabs, wire and cotter pins are installed correctly. The BFN Unit 1 alternate checklist items in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Attachment 2, Item B states: "Attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are functional" and verifies the following attributes: "Observe the exposed hanger structural steel, pipe clamps, base plates, lugs and other such plates of attachment for broken parts, deformation or other damage" and "Observe welds for visible damage at base plates, lugs, and other such points of attachment." , Item C states: "Fasteners for the attachment of snubber to the component and to the snubber anchorage are functional" and verifies the following attributes: Observe to ensure the security of essential threaded fasteners such as anchorage bolts and pipe clamp bolts that are exposed.

  • Observe to ensure clevis bolts or pins are properly installed.
  • Observe for the following attributes which may cause future problems but do not affect snubber operability or any acceptance criteria: pits, scratches, or rough places observed on the piston rod that would not contact the piston seal, cotter pins properly installed with legs bent sufficiently, but not completely, to prevent cotter pin from backing out, pivot pin retaining ring is properly installed, if required, and security locking devices (i.e., locking tabs or wire) on snubber attachment bolts properly installed, if required.

OM Part 4 Section 2.4 (a) checklists verifying preservice and inservice examination, fluids levels, and as-found conditions. Appendix A of this Part represents items normally included in a checklist (as follows):

  • Rotated reservoirs (hydraulic fluid could not reach valve blocks)

BFN Unit 1 does not have rotated reservoirs as a specific snubber checklist item. E-5

Reservoir inventory is verified in Surveillance Instructionl-SI-4.6.H-1 for the hydraulic snubber models installed on Unit 1. The models installed have pressurized hydraulic reservoirs that allows mounting in any spatial orientation.

  • Piston shaft painted, which could cause a frozen condition The BFN Unit 1 alternate requirements are provided in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Attachment 2, Section A that contains the following checklist item: "The snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability." This item includes the following verifications: "Observe for any signs of overstressing, Observe the exposed parts of the snubber for broken parts, deformation or other damage, such as weld arc strikes, paint, weld slag, adhesive, or other deposits on piston rod or support cylinder that could result in unacceptable snubber performance, Observe to see if there is any evidence that a snubber has experienced a potentially damaging transient since the last examination, and Observe the snubber and piston rod for excessive corrosion, solid deposits, which could impair operability of the snubber."
  • Units installed upside down The BFN Unit 1 Alternate requirements are provided in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Section 6.0 A. 4 which states: "The snubber has the proper orientation, and adequate fluid level, if applicable." MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, Attachment 3, Section 2.0[11.] verifies for Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints, that the 2-way ball valve positioner is in the vertical position.

0 Sight glass broken The BFN Unit 1 Alternate requirements are provided in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Attachment 2, Section A contains the following verification: "The snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability. Observe the exposed parts of the snubber for broken parts, deformation or other damage, such as weld arc strikes, paint, weld slag, adhesive, or other deposits on piston rod or support cylinder that could result in unacceptable snubber performance."

  • Installed with preset shipment screws for shipping (screws must be removed before service)

The BFN Unit 1 functional testing of snubbers demonstrates free/unrestricted snubber movement in tension and compression directions. For a snubber to move freely, the preset shipment screws for shipping must be removed before the test. There is no preset shipment screw for shipping to remove on a Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints.

  • Hydraulic fluid lines for snubber remote reservoir placed too close to hot pipe causing the lines to burst BFN currently has no snubbers with remote reservoirs. The BFN Unit 1 Alternate requirements are provided in MAI-4.2A Piping/Tubing Support Installation Data Sheet which documents clearances per MAI-4.10 applicable to SR, QR, or NQR supports in Category 1 Structures. MPI-0-000-SNB004, Attachment 1, section 2.1, Note (2) states E-6

that: "Any required relocation of the strut attachment to clear an interference should be brought to the attention of Site Engineering (Civil)."

  • Snubber placed in wrong location The BFN Unit 1 alternate requirements are provided in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Section 7.2.G: "The snubbers are assigned a UNID number in an appropriate tracking program, which provides current and historical information for a specific snubber or support location." Section 7.2.H; "The snubbers are listed in Appendix A by exam number." Note: Appendix A also provides a specific location of a snubber with a unique identification number (UNID).
  • Clevis pins not attached to anchor The BFN Unit 1 alternate requirements are provided in SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Attachment 2, Section C which states: "Fasteners for the attachment of the snubber to the component and to the snubber anchorage are functional.

OM Part 4, Section 3.2.1.2, - Operability Test Loads - Snubbers shall be tested at a load sufficient to verify the operating parameters specified in paragraph 3.2.1.1. Testing at less than rated load must be correlated to operability parameters at rated load. Test Load parameters are built into the Snubber Test Bench Machine Program, and are listed in the applicable Appendixes of 0-TI-398 as follows: 0-TI-398 Appendix B, Section 3.0 provides test parameters in the snubber test machine program for Bergen-Paterson, Anchor Darling or Fronek Hydraulic snubbers. Test Loads are in the Snubber Test Machine Program. These Test Loads are 80 percent of rated load for snubber sizes HSSA -3, -10, -20,- 30, ADH/FRONEK -20, -30, -50, -70, and -130. Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints are functionally tested using the Lisega Surrogate snubber in accordance with 0-SI-4.6.H-2E. The test load in the Snubber Test Machine Program is 44.9 kip nominal value that is correlated to the 100 kip test load used in factory testing. Test data/results are recorded in Attachment 2 of the SI. Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints may also be functionally tested by the manufacturer using a 100 kip test load prior to installation.

In those cases, the Owner shall obtain sufficient data, based upon service history or life cycle testing, to justify the ability of the parameter in question to be within specifications over the life of the snubber (e.g., demonstrate that activation takes place without measurement of the activation level). A test report shall be available for each snubber exempted from an inservice quantitative test requirement. The test report must verify that the parameter was within specifications to allow exemption of the snubber from quantitative testing of the parameter. E-1 3

0-TI-398 has been revised to remove the "push-pull" functional testing of mechanical PSA snubbers. 0-TI-398, Section 7.17.2, Functional Testing of PSA Mechanical Snubbers states: A. BFN Technical Requirements require drag force measurements and activation verifications. B. Mechanical snubber functional testing is performed to verify two characteristics, activation and drag force. The limit for acceleration is not to exceed 0.02 g's. Pacific Scientific Company (PSC) performed qualification tests on new snubbers and performed tests on snubbers that have been in extended plant service to verify the activation levels at various loads. PSC concluded that there is no significant change in activation value at any level of rated load of the snubber. C. Performing a test for activation of PSA snubbers requires a specialized test machine. BFN has a computer controlled API/Barker STB-200 snubber test bench. The test bench is capable of testing any size PSA snubber and most medium and small bore hydraulic snubbers. The software performs four basic functions:

1. Operator interface
2. Machine control
3. Data acquisition and conversion
4. Data analysis and presentation Test results are presented in the form of a graph with maximum and average test values.

OM Part 4, Section 3.2.2, Inservice Operability testing Frequency. Testing shall take place at least every refueling outage using a sample of snubbers in the facility. TSR 3.7.4.2, Testing Frequency is 24 months. Surveillance Instructions O-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, Section 1.3A, Frequency/Conditions state: This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers. Testing of the 10% sample lot of hydraulic and mechanical snubbers takes place every 24 months/ at each scheduled unit refueling outage in accordance with the TSR 3.7.4.2 and the applicable SI. E-14

OM Part 4, Section 3.2.3, Inservice Operability testing Sample Plans: The inservice testing sample shall be selected using one of the three sample plans (a comparison of sampling plans is contained in Appendix C): (a) 10% testing plan (b) 37% testing plan (c) 55% testing plan The snubbers of parallel and multiple installations shall be identified and counted individually. All fractional sample sizes shall be rounded up to the next integer. 0-TI-398, Section 7.17, 2nd paragraph of the Functional Test Program Guidelines states: Functional tests are performed each operating cycle to meet Technical Requirements Manual TRM 3.7.4.2 verifying, by sampling 10% of each subgroup of snubber, that the safety-related or quality-related snubbers are operable. For each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria an additional 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup shall be tested, until no additional failures occur. In addition to the required sampling, snubbers under service life monitoring and balance-of-plant programs should be addressed. Specific Technical Requirements are given in the appropriate functional testing SI. 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Appendix A is a snubber listing of each individual snubber shown on a pipe support drawing. Each snubber is given a unique identification number and are counted individually as listed in Appendix A. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.4, Inservice Operability Testing Failure Evaluations TSR 3.7.4.3 states that: A failure analysis shall be made of each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2 to determine the cause of failure. The frequency is once for each discovery of snubber failure to meet functional acceptance criteria. 0-SI-4.6.1H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.1H-2B, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, Attachment 3 provides the requirements for performing failure evaluations of failed snubbers. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.4.1, Failure Evaluation Requirements. Snubbers that do not meet the operability testing acceptance criteria in paragraph 3.2.1 shall be evaluated to determine the cause of the failure. The BFN Unit 1 TSR 3.7.4.3 mandates that failure analysis be made for each snubber, failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria in TSR 3.7.4.2 or the applicable SIs: 0-SI-4.6. H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E state: Evaluation of snubber operability, corrective actions, and selection of other suspect snubbers for verification shall be as specified on Attachment 3 or Attachment 6, as applicable. For each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria an additional 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup shall be tested, until no additional failures occur. In E-15

addition to the required sampling, snubbers under service life monitoring and balance-of-plant programs should be addressed. Specific Technical Requirements are given in the appropriate functional testing SI. An Engineering Failure Analysis for Inoperable Snubber must be performed or completed using the appropriate data sheets or attachments of the applicable SIs to determine the cause of failure. Results of this analysis shall be used to select snubbers to be tested in an effort to determine the operability of other snubbers with the same failure mode. Selection of snubbers for future testing may also be based on the failure analysis. This evaluation may also be used by Site Engineering when required to perform a supported system/component analysis. For each failed snubber, a PER is initiated in accordance with SPP-8.1 and SPP-3.1, a Work Order is initiated to replace the snubber (if necessary), perform in place or STB 200 Test Bench functional test. An additional 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup shall be tested, until no additional failures occur. In addition to the required sampling, snubbers under service life monitoring and balance-of-plant programs should be addressed. Specific Technical Requirements are given in the appropriate functional testing SI. 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, and O-SI-4.6.H-2E state: "For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM. The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be documented on Attachment 4." OM Part 4, Section 3.2.4.2, Test Failure Mode Groups. Unacceptable snubber(s) shall be categorized into test failure mode group(s). A test failure mode group(s) shall include all unacceptable snubbers that have a given failure mode, and all other snubbers subject to the same failure mode. The following failure modes shall be used: (a) Designlmanufacturing (b) Application induced (c) Maintenancelrepairlinstallation (d) Isolated (e) Unexplained For BFN Unit 1, TSR 3.7.4.4, NOTE states: "This testing is independent of the requirements of TSR 3.7.4.3. For any snubber which fails to lockup or fails to move (i.e., frozen in place), evaluate the cause. If caused by manufacturer or design deficiency, perform in-place or bench functional test of all snubbers of the same design, subject to the same defect. The functional test acceptance criteria shall be as specified in TSR 3.7.4.2." In addition, the applicable Surveillance Instructions require an engineering evaluation of the snubber failure, and classification of the snubber failure mode as isolated, location, manufacturing, design, or other. The engineering evaluation includes determination of subsequent testing required, based on the failure mode, which may involve testing of E-16

snubbers susceptible to the same failure mode. However, establishment of specific groupings based on failure modes is not performed. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.4.3, Test failure Mode Group Boundaries. Once a test failure mode group has been established, any snubber(s) in that test failure mode group will not be part of the testing groups from which the snubbers originated except as noted in paragraph 3.2.4.4 below. The new test failure mode group will remain as defined until corrective action has been completed. As stated in response to Section 3.2.4.2 above, establishment of test failure mode groups is not performed. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.4.4, Snubbers in More Than One Test Failure Mode Group - In the event that a snubber(s) becomes included in more than one test failure mode group, it shall be counted in each failure mode group in which it is unacceptable and shall be subject to the corrective action of each test failure mode group. As stated in response to Section 3.2.4.2 above, establishment of test failure mode groups is not performed. The corrective action for a snubber subject to multiple failure modes is as determined and documented in the engineering evaluation in accordance with the applicable SI. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.5, Inservice operability Testing Corrective Action and Impact on Continued Testing - Snubbers which have been found unacceptable for the testing acceptance criteria of paragraph 3.2.1.1 shall be subjected to the following corrective actions(s) with its indicated impact on continued testing. Selection of the corrective action shall be governed by the sampling plan which is used. See TVA's response to OM Part 4 item 3.2.4.1 above. For each unacceptable or failed snubber, a PER is initiated in accordance with SPP-8.1 and SPP-3.1, failure analysis performed, Work Order initiated to replace the snubber (if necessary), or STB 200 Test Bench functional test performed on an additional lot equal to 10% of the remaining snubbers of that type. Testing shall continue until no additional inoperable snubbers are found within the subsequent lots or all snubbers of the original test type are tested or all suspect snubbers identified in the failure analysis have been tested, as applicable. The functional test criteria shall be as specified in TSR 3.7.4.2 or the applicable test Sis. OM Part 4, Section 3.2.6, Inservice Operability Testing Methods. The following test requirements shall apply: (a) Testing to be performed on the snubbers in their as-found condition to the fullest extent practical regarding the features to be tested (b) Test methods employed must not alter the condition of the snubber to the extent the results are not representative of the parameters prior to test E-17

(c) inservice operability testing may be accomplished with the snubber installed in its permanent location by utilizing Owner approved test methods and equipment (d) The snubbers may be removed and bench tested in accordance Owner approved test procedures. After reinstallation, the snubber shall meet the requirements of paragraph 2.1.1(e) (e) Where the physical size of the snubber, test equipment limitations, or inaccessibility of location prevent the use of methods in paragraphs (c) and (d) above, the snubber subcomponents shall be examined and tested in accordance with approved procedures. Reassembly of individual components must be in accordance with approved procedures. (f) Testing methods may be used which measure parameters indirectly or parameters other than those specified if those results can be correlated to the specified parameters through established methods. For BFN Unit 1, Operability testing methods for mechanical and hydraulic snubbers are quantitative (use of STB 200 Test Bench w/Windows program), in accordance with applicable SIs, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, 0-SI-4.6.H-2E and TSR 3.7.4.2 requirements and, MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek and Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers and, MPI-0-000-SNBOO2 for Hydraulic shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek Unit Disassembly and Reassembly to meet the requirements (a) through (f) above.

NRC Request No. 7 On page 92 of 105 of the May 27, 2008 submittal, third paragraph, the licensee stated that snubber examination and testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, SSP-3.1, and the implementing procedures. Explain how TR 3.7.4 and/or the other specified procedures meet OM Part 4, Section 3.3, Testing Documentationrequirements. TVA Response to NRC Request No. 7 OM Part 4 Section 3.3 Testing Documentation Documents necessary to verify the result of the pre-service and in-service program shall include, as a minimum: (a) pre-service operability test procedures and results (b) In-service operability test procedures and results (c) Nonconformance results, nonconformance evaluations, and corrective action. TR 3.7.4 documents the required action, completion time and conditions pertaining to the operability, inspection, testing, and acceptance criteria of snubbers at BFN. Surveillance instructions are utilized to implement the requirements of TR 3.7.4. Plant SIs, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E cover functional testing of all snubbers at BFN. Surveillance instruction 1-SI-4.6.H-1 covers the visual examination of Unit 1 hydraulic and mechanical snubbers. These SIs document pre-service operability test procedures and results. They also document in-service operability test procedures and results, nonconformance evaluations, and corrective actions. Plant procedure SPP-3.1 is utilized to document when snubbers are found to be outside of testing acceptance criteria or in a nonconforming condition. Surveillance instructions are included in the work package for the snubber and transmitted to permanent record storage (EDMS) after closure of the work package/work order. NRC Request No. 8 On Page 93 of 105 of the May 27, 2008 submittal, JustificationFor The Granting Of Relief, first paragraph, the licensee stated that the current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4 provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by the OM and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated into the OM Code. (1) Explain how TR 3.7.4 provides a level of quality and safety equal to and greater than that provided by OM E-20

Part 4. (2) clarify and provide information regarding the statement "and utilizes guidance not incorporated in the OM Code referenced by the 2001 Edition, 2003 addenda of ASME Section XI." (quotation marks added to facilitate identification) TVA Response to NRC Reauest No. 8 See TVA's response to NRC Request number 3 above. TVA's reference to guidance not incorporated in the OM Code will be deleted. This referral was to GL 90-09 which is incorporated into the BFN Unit 1 Snubber Program. NRC Request No. 9 On Page 93 of 105, JustificationFor The Grantingof Relief, second paragraph, the licensee stated that: Examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is currently performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4, which utilizes the guidance provided by NRC in GL 90-09. The OM Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and testing plans (10 percent, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing. It should be noted that (1) GL 90-09 only provides guidance for Snubber Visual Examination Intervals and Corrective Actions. GL 90-09 does not provide guidance for testing and repair and replacement; and (2) the ASME Section XI references the use of ASME/ANSI OM-1987, Part 4 (OM-4), with OMa-1988, which is not same as OM Code. Please explain these discrepancies. TVA Response to NRC Request No. 9 The proposed BFN Unit 1 examination and testing plan alternatives are provided in TSR 3.7.4.1, TSR 3.7.4.2, and TSR 3.7.4.3. See, also, TVA's response to NRC request number 3 above. NRC Request No. 10 On page 93 of 105, Justification For The Granting Of Relief, fourth paragraph, the licensee stated that the maintenance procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria for installation of a snubber after repair or replacement. Provide details how the maintenance procedure visual examination requirements are equal to OM Part 4, Section 2.3.1.2 requirements. E-21

TVA Response to NRC Request No. 10 OM Part 4, Section 2.3.1.2, Visual Examination Requirements states: The snubber installation must meet the following requirements:

a. Snubbers shall be installed so that they can carry the load. Visual observation of loose fasteners, deformed members, or detection of disconnected components requires the identification of the installation as unacceptable.

The alternate requirements in the BFN SI, 1-SI-4.6.H-1, Attachment 2, "Visual Examination Checklist for All Snubbers" checklist Item A reads: "The snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability." and specifically includes observing the exposed parts of the snubber for broken parts, deformation, or other damage that could result in unacceptable performance. See, also, TVA's response to NRC request number 3 above.

b. Snubbers shall be installed in such condition that they do not restrict the thermal movement to the extent that unacceptable overstressing could develop in the pipe or other equipment that the installation is designed to protect or restrain. If no indication of binding, misalignment, or deformation is observed, the provisions of this requirement are considered to be satisfied.

The BFN alternative states that the item is to be observed in performance of visual SI 1-SI-4.6.H-1. Attachment 2 of the SI contains the following verifications: Centerline of the clamp assembly and structural attachment offset (i.e., a based on the clearances between the rod eyes, paddles, and the attachment clevis. Contact of these parts, which produces a side load on the snubber is unacceptable. Observe spacers are installed on each side of the snubber eye to reduce the misalignment and or binding. Space shall not exceed 1/16 inch on either side or 1/8 inch total. Observe for evidence of torsional binding (i.e. mechanical snubber twisted along its axis by the pipe clamp and structural attachments). See, also, TVA's response to NRC request number 3 above.

c. Special features required for the actuation of the snubber shall be verified. For example, fluid supply or content for hydraulic snubbers shall be observed.

Observation that the fluid level is equal to or greater than the minimum amount which is sufficient for actuation at its operating extension is considered to satisfy the provisions of this requirement for hydraulic snubbers. If the fluid is less than the minimum amount, the installation is to be identified as unacceptable unless a test is performed establishing that the performance of the snubber is within specified limits. Tests shall be performed in accordance with paragraphs 3.2.1.1(b) and 3.2.1.1(c) and the initial test shall start with the piston at the as-found setting and be performed in the extension (tension) direction. See TVA's response to NRC request number 3 above. E-22

Also, 0-TI-398, Appendix A, under Alternate Examinations states: The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the examination and testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and repair/replacement activities. The procedures utilized for these examinations are 1-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers;" 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, "Functional Testing of Mechanical Snubbers;" 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic Snubbers;" and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, "Functional Testing of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints;" MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson Unit Disassembly and Reassembly;" and MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers." This will include the pin-to-pin area inclusive of applicable snubbers. Testing of repaired and replaced snubbers will also be performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4. Visual examination of repaired and replaced snubbers will be performed in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers". Snubber examination and testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, SPP-3.1, and the implementing procedures 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2E, MPI-0-000-SNB002, and MPI-0-000-SNB004. The areas inclusive of the pins back to building structure and to the component/piping being supported will remain in the ASME Section XI examination boundary. NRC Request No. 11 On page 94 of 105, Justification For The Granting Of Relief, first paragraph, the licensee stated that the training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria, specified in the TRM implementing procedures provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Justify this statement and explain how TRM implementing procedures visual training is equal to VT-3 training as required by the OM, Section IWA-2300. TVA Response to NRC Reauest No. 11 The proposed alternative for snubber visual examination training qualification and documentation is provided by 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Step 7.1.1 [A] through [F]. The visual acuity requirements of IWA-2320 are satisfied. E-23

NRC Reauest No. 12 On page 94 of 105, Justification For The Granting Of Relief, second paragraph, the licensee stated that:

       "Because relief is sought from the ASME Section XI snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section XI snubber examination and test activities to require ANII involvement.

A snubber program manager provides oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both visual examination and functional testing. The snubber program manager provides an acceptable level of quality and safety without ANII involvement in those activities." Provide a justification for this statement with respect to the fact that the snubber program manager or person performing snubber inspection should be trained as required by IWA-2300 or alternative method IWA-2317. TVA Response to NRC Request No. 12 IWA-2300 addresses qualifications of NDE personnel. The snubber program manager and persons performing the snubber inspections meet the visual requirements described by IWA-2300. NRC Request No. 13 On Page 94 of 105, JustificationFor Granting Of Relief, third paragraph, second sentence, the licensee stated that under the alternative requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section Xl inservice examination and testing to document in a summary report and TR 3.7.4 is implemented by surveillance instructions and maintenance instruction. Justify how these specified surveillance instructions are equivalent to the Code requirements of Section IWA-6230 and OM-4, Section 2.3, and 3.3.

NRC Request No. 14 The TRM does not the address the requirements of OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4 "Inservice Examination Failure Evaluation." Explain how the proposed TRM revision meets this requirement. TVA Response to NRC Reauest No. 14 OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.1, Failure Evaluation. Snubbers which fail to meet the examination acceptance criteria shall be evaluated to determine the cause of the unacceptability. TRM section TSR 3.7.4.1 states: Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual inspection shall be classified 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 generically susceptible; and (2) the affected snubber is functionally tested in the as-found condition and determined OPERABLE per the criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. A review and evaluation shall be performed and documented to justify continued operation with an unacceptable snubber. If continued operation cannot be justified, the system or train shall be declared inoperable. Additionally, TRM section TSR 3.7.4.3 states: A failure analysis shall be made of each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2 to determine the cause of the failure. OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.2, Functional Test Evaluation - The snubber(s) that is found to be unacceptable as a result of inservice examination may be tested in accordance with requirements of paragraph 3.2, provided the testing can resolve the unacceptable condition. Results which satisfy the operability test criteria may be used to re-categorize the snubber(s) as acceptable. See TVA's response above regarding OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.1 above. E-26

OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.3, Examination Failure Mode Groups - Unacceptable snubbers shall be categorized into examination failure mode groups. An examination failure mode group shall include all unacceptable snubbers which have a given failure and all other snubbers subject to the same failure, except as permitted to be considered separately under paragraph 1.6. The examination failure mode groups shall be distinct for examination purposes from any testing failure mode groups. The following examination failure mode groups shall be used: (a) Design/manufacturing (b) Application induced (c) Maintenance/repair/installation (d) Isolated (e) Unexplained The BFN snubber program does not categorize examination failures into failure mode groups, although as reported in the above response to OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.1, the cause of all examination failures is established and remedied for that particular snubber and for other snubbers that may be generically susceptible. In accordance with 0-TI-398, Snubber Program Procedure, snubber failures are classified as follows: Location - A failure of a snubber(s) resulting from environmental conditions. Examples include failure of a snubber due to excessive heat, failure due to excessive local system vibration or failure due to other localized anomalies. Manufacturing - A failure resulting from a potential defect in manufacturing. Examples include incorrectly assembled snubbers, inclusion of incorrect piece parts and failure of a snubber(s) due to improper or incorrect maintenance or repair practices performed by the vendor. Desian - A failure resulting from an error in the design. This classification would include incorrectly sized snubbers, snubbers provided with insufficient travel, snubbers with insufficient swing margins and design misapplications or errors. Unknown - A failure that cannot be categorized as location, manufacturing, design or other. This includes all failures for which the cause of failure cannot be determined. Other - When the unknown cause of the failure cannot be categorized as location, manufacturing or design. This classification would include snubbers that fail due to end of service life. Additional examples include failure of snubbers due to plant transients, misapplication of rigging loads to the snubber and incidental interaction of tools or equipment on the snubber. E-27

0-TI-398 sections 7.19.2A.3 and 7.19.2A.4 provide the following scope expansion and additional testing requirements due to the failure mode: If the failure was found as part of the Technical Requirements Manual initial or any subsequent samples the following is the minimum required testing expansion:

a. Expand the sample by 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup, and
b. If the cause of the failure is determined to be a system transient, test all snubbers on that system, which could have been affected by the transient, and
c. If the cause is a generic manufacturing defect, test all snubbers of that same type, and
d. Identify and test all other snubbers suspected of the same failure mode.

If the failure was found outside of the Technical Requirements Manual initial or any subsequent samples (i.e., other maintenance activity, testing directed/requested by the Snubber Engineer, Service Life Monitoring testing, testing of snubbers on non-Technical Specification or Technical Requirements Manual systems, etc.) the following is the minimum required testing expansion:

a. If the cause of the failure is determined to be a system transient, test all snubbers on that system, which could have been affected by the transient, and
b. If the cause is a generic manufacturing defect, test all snubbers of that same type, and
c. Identify and test all other snubbers suspected of the same failure mode.

OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.4, Examination Failure Mode Group Boundaries. Once an examination failure mode group has been established, any snubber(s) in that examination failure mode group(s) will not be part of the examination group(s) from which the snubber originated except as noted in paragraph 2.3.4.5 below. The new examination failure mode group will remain as defined until:- (a) the examination failure mode group has reached the maximum time interval allowed E-28

(b) replacement/modification action in accordance with paragraphs 2.3.5.1(a) or (c), or paragraph 2.3.5.2 provides an examination failure group with all acceptable snubbers. See TVA's response above regarding OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.3. OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.5, Snubbers in More Than One Failure Group - Any snubber(s) which is in more than one examination failure mode group, the examination schedule for that snubber will be determined by the examination failure mode group with the shortest examination schedule. See TVA's response above regarding OM Part 4, Section 2.3.4.3. Based on the information provided above, TVA considers that the alternate BFN Unit 1 program, in accordance with TR 3.7.4, for the examination and testing of snubbers will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.

Snubbers may be categorized, based upon their accessibility during power operation, 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 as the basis upon which to determine the next inspection interval for that category. Note 2: Interpolation between population or category sizes 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 fractional value of unacceptable snubbers as determined by interpolation.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 11 of 166 3.0 DEFINITIONS A. Activation (Lockup) - The change of condition from passive to active, in which the snubber restrains the rapid displacement of the supported system/component. B. API/BARKER Test Bench - An automated mechanical test device designed to perform functional testing of snubbers. The current name of the test bench vendor is Barker/Diacon. C. As-Found Test - As-found test means the snubber must be tested without performing any kind of maintenance on the snubber. Also any cleaning of the snubber exterior surface is precluded. Stroking of the snubber prior to testing should be avoided, however, test sequence (i.e. activation is to be done first or drag force test is to be done first) is insignificant. D. Bench Testing - Functional testing of snubbers utilizing the STB-200 or similar equipment. E. Bleed Rate (Release) - The rate of snubber axial movement under a specified load after activation of the snubber takes place. F. Breakaway Force - The minimum applied force to initiate extension or retraction of the snubber. G. Drag Force - The force required to maintain snubber movement at a low velocity or acceleration before activation. H. Fasteners - Securing devices such as lock wire, locking tabs, jam nuts, attachment welds, cotter pins, etc. which can be detected by visual observation. I. Freedom-of-Motion, or Push-Pull Method - Manual stroking of snubber through its full range of motion. This is commonly used to check suspected snubbers for damage due to transients. J. Functional Testing - Measurement or checks of parameters that verify operational readiness. K. Hydraulic Snubber - Snubbers in which load is transmitted through a hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic snubbers are equipped with control valves which defeat the restraining action of the snubber, allowing it to move relatively freely until a specific velocity called activation or lock-up velocity is reached. At this velocity the control valve closes and the snubber starts to restrain the velocity of the attached component. L. Maintenance - Action taken to prevent and correct deficiencies in the function of a snubber.

3.0 DEFINITIONS (continued) M. Mechanical Snubber - Snubber in which load is transmitted entirely through mechanical components. Mechanical snubbers are designed to restrain pipe or equipment to a specific limited acceleration or rate of velocity change during an event. For normal thermal motion the snubber will move freely in either direction through its operating stroke. N. Operable - The ability of a snubber to perform its intended design function.

0. Snubber - Dynamic restraints which are utilized to allow slow, constant movement of a supported system/component while providing rigid restraint against rapid motion due to dynamic loads (i.e., earthquakes, transients, etc.).

P. Spacers - Devices located on each side of the spherical bearing used to position the snubber clevis attachment in the center of the end attachment. These are also known as washers. Q. Spherical Bearing - Load bearing which allows the snubber to rotate in the end attachments. R. Stroke - Full length of the total possible snubber movement. S. Technical Requirements Manual Snubber - Snubbers that are required for safe shutdown, required to protect code boundaries and to ensure system/component structural integrity under dynamic loads. These are known as Essential, Safety-related or Quality-related. T. Thermal Movement - The amount the system/component is analytically predicted to move from its Cold position to its Hot (Operating) position during normal or emergency system operation. Thermal movement can be either in tension or compression and this movement is identified on the support design drawings. U. Unstaked, Internal - Rotation occurs between the support cylinder and the position tube indicator, for Mechanical snubbers. V. Unstaked, spherical Bearing - Spherical bearing, used for snubber alignment, is found displaced from the paddle plate. W. Visual Examination - The performance of visual observations for detection of improper installation and impaired functional ability caused by physical damage, leakage, corrosion, or degradation from environmental or operating conditions. X. Work Implementing Document (WID) - Workplan, Maintenance Instruction, Work Order, or other similar document which consists of written directions for performance of work.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 14 of 166 7.0 PROCEDURE 7.1 General Snubbers are dynamic restraints that are utilized to allow slow, constant movement of a supported system/component while providing rigid restraint against rapid movement due to dynamic loads. Snubbers are installed on piping and/or equipment primarily to limit the displacement of the piping or equipment during a seismic event or during a severe transient. They are sometimes installed to limit damage from pipe break, vibration, and water hammer. Snubbers accomplish this by absorbing the energy from the supported system/component motion and transmitting it to the building structure. Snubbers can directly affect plant safety, therefore, periodic inspection, testing, and appropriate maintenance is required to ensure their operability. Inoperable snubbers may severely damage piping or equipment either by NOT restraining them during a seismic event or transient, or by NOT allowing thermal expansion during normal plant operation. Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Technical Requirement (TR) 3.7.4, "Snubbers", requires all safety-related snubbers to be operable during all modes of operation. However, if a component or system affected by the snubber(s) is NOT required to be OPERABLE, then the snubber is NOT required to be OPERABLE, except as follows: The snubber(s) located inside the drywell, on the reactor vessel attached piping systems shall be considered OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. The snubber(s) on Main Steam, HPCI and RCIC piping, in the drywell, are exempt from this requirement when the steam line plugs are installed inside the reactor vessel. During the times snubber(s) are NOT required to be OPERABLE for an inoperable system, the inoperable snubber(s) will be tracked to prevent declaring the system OPERABLE with unanalyzed inoperable snubber(s). At the present time there are four manufacturers and five types of snubbers at Browns Ferry. These are Bergen-Paterson (also known as Anchor/Darling or Fronek) and Grinnell Hydraulic (piping and equipment), Bergen-Paterson and Lisega (Torus Dynamic Restraints) and Pacific Scientific Company Mechanical Snubbers. The types and pertinent information about each will be given in Appendix B, C, D, E and F of this procedure. 7.2 Program Ownership The snubber program is maintained by the Site Engineering, Civil Engineering Group. The primary owner of the program is the Site Snubber Program Engineer (SSPE). The SSPE should have a broad knowledge of plant systems and shall be cognizant of snubber inspections and testing requirements.

The ASME Section XI requirements have been modified by the approval of Request for Relief 1-ISI-18, shown in Appendix K of this procedure. 7.6 Snubber UNIDs, Lists, and Drawings 7.6.1 Unique Identifiers (UNIDs) Each snubber is represented on a pipe support drawing. The Unique Identifier Number (UNID) is a unique number with the Plant - Unit - Function Code - Unique No. The function code should be SNUB and the Unique No. should begin with 5001 for each system. The Torus Restraint Snubber Unique No. begins with 0001. The UNIDs should be accurately recorded on the WOs to properly identify and retrieve information for work performed on the snubbers. Site Engineering, Civil Design is responsible for maintaining the UNID list.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 19 of 166 7.6.2 Snubber Lists A. An accurate list of all safety-related/quality related snubbers is required to ensure implementation of Technical Requirement 3.7.4. The Unit 1 safety-related snubber list is provided in Surveillance Instruction 1-S1-4.6.H-1, the Unit 2 safety-related snubber list is provided in 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and the Unit 3 safety-related snubber list is provided in 3-SI-4.6.H-1. The list contains snubber number, system No., type, size, and location, as a minimum. The listing will include the drawing number and the Inservice Inspection (ISI) isometric drawing number. Non-safety related snubbers are listed in MPI-0-000-SNBOO5. B. The SSPE shall update the snubber listing in 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 when the design change process adds, deletes, or changes the type of existing snubber. Update of the snubber listing shall be made after implementation of the modification. If maintenance work is performed which changes any information in the procedures, the updates should be completed as soon as practical after the change has been completed. 7.7 Outage Planning and Preparation Outage planning and preparation should begin, as a minimum, approximately six months prior to the scheduled refueling outage (RFO). This is needed to obtain any required contract services and to review spare snubbers and spare parts inventories. 7.7.1 Previous SI Performance The previous SI data sheets performance information from the snubber database should be reviewed to determine any specific issues that should be addressed for the next scheduled Visual Surveillance or testing interval, i.e., pre-outage and outage. Some examples are: A. Previous functional failures due to location B. Snubbers requiring service life monitoring C. Recurring visual deficiencies and test failures D. Whether the visual exams are required during this operating cycle

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 20 of 166 7.7.2 Hydraulic Snubber Seal Service Life A. Review the snubber database and determine which hydraulic snubbers seal service life will expire prior to the next scheduled RFO. These should be scheduled for rebuild or identified for a seal life extension study. B. Ensure an adequate supply of parts, necessary to rebuild snubbers, including seals and load-bearing/pressure-retaining parts (i.e., cylinder, piston, piston rod, tie rods, control valves, etc.) are available. Also review spare snubber availability. C. Initiate work orders to rebuild the required selected snubbers. 7.7.3 Functional Test Sample A. Select a functional test sample of 10 % of each subgroup in accordance with the plant SI, preferably with the aid of the snubber database.

1. Consider the snubbers to be rebuilt to select the initial and possible second sample.
2. Identify candidates for possible additional samples for each subgroup.

B. Review the snubber database, visual inspection procedures and past performances to determine scaffolding and other restraints. 7.7.4 Functional Testing of Large Bore Hydraulic Snubbers A. Since TVA does NOT own the necessary test equipment, initiate purchase request for onsite testing of the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraint snubbers. The vendor should have the capability of in-place testing. B. Establish schedule for bringing vendors on and off site to minimize impact to other support activities. Consider scheduling contractor training at the least cost location and before the outage begins, if required. C. The Lisega Type 31 21 50 Torus Restraint Snubbers maybe tested on TVA's API/Barker STB-200 test bench using the Surrogate snubber furnished by Lisega. To satisfy the Technical Requirements Manual only the poppet valves from the Lisega Type 31 21 50 restraint are installed in the Surrogate snubber and tested. The Surrogate snubber test results are then converted to the Lisega Type 31 21 50 restraint values using conversion factors in O-SI-4.6.H-2E, Attachment 2, Page 1 of 5.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 21 of 166 7.8 Receipt Inspection and Storage of Snubbers 7.8.1 Receipt Inspection NOTE The SSPE should be notified if the receipt inspection reveals any damage or dimensional discrepancy. Snubber receipt inspection must be performed in accordance with the contract document and site Nuclear Stores procedure, SPP-4.2, Material Receipt and Inspection. Proper receipt inspection and storage of mechanical and hydraulic snubbers have a significant impact on the performance of the snubber after installation. Personnel involved in receipt inspection of snubbers are required to ensure proper care for handling and storage techniques in accordance with site procedures. 7.8.2 Storage of Snubbers After Initial Receipt Inspection and Prior To Installation (Nuclear Stores) A. The snubber storage should be in buildings designated for storage. B. Storage and Handling shall be performed as required in site Nuclear Stores procedure SPP-4.3, Material Storage and Handling. In part, this prescribes, "Items shall be protected from exposure to salt, spray, rain, dust, dirt, and other airborne and windblown contaminants." C. When practicable, snubbers should be stored in their shipping container, if the container provides protection to the snubber. Packages should be labeled for easy identification of the snubber. D. The snubbers, after removal from nuclear stores, should be protected from rain and the possibility of moisture or other liquids entering the snubber. They should also be protected from sand blasting or other activities that might result in foreign particles entering the snubber. E. Hydraulic snubber repair kits containing elastomeric parts should be treated as finite shelf-life components in accordance with applicable shelf-life programs.

7.8.3 Storage of Snubbers After Removal From Nuclear Stores or the Plant A. The snubber test/rebuild facility has been designated as a "B" Level Storage area. B. The requirements for a "B" Level Storage area are as follows:

1. Should be a fire resistant, tear resistant, weather tight, and well ventilated building or equivalent enclosure.
2. The area shall be situated and constructed so that it will NOT be subject to flooding.
3. Items shall be stored to permit air circulation.
4. The area shall be provided with temperature and humidity control or equivalent to prevent condensation and corrosion..
5. The minimum temperature shall be 40 degrees F and the maximum shall be 140 degrees F.
6. The storage area shallI be clearly identified as to its storage level.
7. Verification of the storage conditions shall be provided by calibrated recorders and shall be documented.
8. Limit and control access to the storage area.
9. Lock storage area when NOT attended by an authorized person.
10. Inspect and document on a semi-annual basis that storage area and stored items are maintained.
11. The inspection shall be performed by an ANSI N45.2.6, Level 11inspector, and documenting it on the inspection report form, Appendix E of SPP-4.3.

A sign designating the facility, as a "B"Level Storage Area, has been placed on the door. Access is controlled by a key lock. Only a limited number of keys are available for access to the facility. Only "Authorized Personnel" will be allowed entry into the facility without an escort. A list of "Authorized Personnel" will be issued and updated by the SSPE and the Mechanical Maintenance Manager. A copy of the list will be placed in the Duty Mechanical Maintenance Manager's log, placed on the door of the facility and other logs, as decided by management.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 23 of 166 7.9 ALARA Planning The SSPE must coordinate with RADCON to develop an ALARA preplanning package for the total scope of the snubber surveillance to be performed for the operating cycle. ALARA briefings should be held between RADCON and the test performers to explain high-rad areas, contamination, dress-out, stay times, and minimizing radwaste requirements. 7.10 In-Service Inspection (ISI) (ASME Section Xl Requirements) To fulfill Code of Record certification, in accordance with repair/replacement requirements of Section Xl, ensure that information is readily available (i.e., original purchase specification, for new snubbers received from Nuclear Stores, and previous location, UNID and removal work document (if possible) of used snubbers being stored as spares in the snubber test/rebuild facility, for each snubber mark number within the Section Xl boundary) to facilitate timely completion of work order documentation. The ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection of snubbers, for Unit 1, shall meet the requirements of this program as documented on the snubber request for relief in Appendix K. This request for relief is approved as referenced in Section 2.10. The ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection of snubbers, for Unit 2, shall meet the requirements of this program as documented on the snubber request for relief in Appendix J. This request for relief is approved as referenced in Section 2.1 N. The ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection of snubbers, for Unit 3, shall meet the requirements of this program as documented on the snubber request for relief in Appendix A. This request for relief is approved as referenced in Section 2.1 L.

7.11 Spare Snubbers A. Special emphasis should be placed on having in stock approximately 10 percent of the unit population of PSA 1/4 and PSA 1/2 mechanical snubber spares. B. Based on improved reliability of the larger models of PSA mechanical snubbers, a stock of from 3 to 5 percent, of those sizes as spares, should be sufficient. C. Hydraulic snubbers should be available as spares for snubbers which must be functionally tested under a Technical Requirement Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). D. Hydraulic snubber metallic and non-metallic parts must be verified for availability for those hydraulic snubbers scheduled to be refurbished for the RFO. E. Spare snubbers for the Torus Dynamic Restraints are manufactured by Lisega and are approved as replacements for the Bergen-Paterson snubbers when removed. This replacement was approved under Design Change Notice V39267A. 7.12 Functional Test Equipment A. Ensure the API/Barker snubber test benches calibration due dates will remain valid for the duration of the RFO. B. If snubber end attachments are removed, from the snubber, for functional testing and a torque wrench is used to reinstall them, the torque wrench shall be post-use calibration checked after each torque performance to reduce the risk of having to retorque the end attachments, especially in the drywell, if the torque wrench is found out of calibration after extended use.

7.13 SI Performance Team and Facilities A. Prior to the RFO, manpower requirements must be determined to include the following:

1. Test director
2. Assistant/backup test director (outage snubber coordinator)
3. Functional test performance personnel (teams include technician or engineer and craft personnel)
4. Visual examination personnel (may be performed by craft personnel with review of possible anomalies by technician or engineer)
5. Hydraulic snubber test performance personnel (machine operator and craft personnel with engineering oversight)
6. Hydraulic snubber rebuild personnel (performed by craft/contract personnel with engineering oversight)
7. Computer data base entry personnel (engineer or technician)

B. Facilities should be made available to include the following:

1. Office space sufficient to coordinate snubber program team meetings with area to spread flow drawings, etc.
2. Test and rebuild facility with enough room for desk, file cabinet, two test benches, control center, 2 rebuild tables, tool boxes (with an assortment of hand tools and wrenches) and other required equipment, monorail(s) or other appropriate equipment to move snubbers around the facility and a fluid storage area with fire proof cabinet.
3. Personal computer with snubber tracking data base.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 26 of 166 7.14 Training and Qualification of Performers 7.14.1 General A. Thorough briefings should be conducted on SI performance of visual inspections and functional testing. B. Cognizant personnel must be qualified as test director in accordance with plant administrative procedures. C. Appropriate GET training (including respirator training) should be received by test personnel to perform the SI. D. GET training for contract personnel should be arranged to minimize expense and expedite getting on and off site. E. The designated backup to the SSPE shall be trained to the requirements of the SSPE. The backup to the lead Maintenance staff shall be trained to the requirements of the lead Maintenance staff. The SSPE will meet the qualifications card requirements for a snubber engineer and the Maintenance staff will have the necessary task specific qualifications. F. Specific training requirements will be described under each section. The training is performed to meet INPO, general regulatory requirements, and good business practices. 7.14.2 Visual Examinations A. The training for the visual exams should include orientation to the requirements of the Surveillance Instructions. Training aids should include actual snubbers and examples of discrepancies that should be noted on the data sheets for further review. B. Personnel performing the visual inspections of 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1 and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 must meet the visual acuity requirements of ASME Section Xl, Code, 2001 Edition, 2003 Addenda, Paragraph IWA-2321. 7.14.3 Functional Tests of Hydraulic Snubbers The operation of the test machines or test benches requires extensive training on the operation of the specific piece of equipment and thorough knowledge of the snubber design and test parameters. The best results should be obtained using engineers or technicians who may be assigned to the program on a continuing basis. Since this training should be performed by the test bench manufacturer or another qualified person, the training costs will be high, inefficient performance during outages, and invalid rejects may result when different personnel are used.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 27 of 166 7.14.4 Rebuilding Hydraulic Snubbers The rebuilding of hydraulic snubbers is typically assigned to personnel who are familiar with the requirements through experience. Additional basic training is required for personnel who have NOT previously rebuilt hydraulic cylinders and control valves. The training should include classroom instruction, practical demonstration and practice in the actual rebuilding of snubbers. Most of the training at Browns Ferry has been performed as On-the-Job Training (OJT) by personnel who are experienced and knowledgeable with the rebuilding of snubbers. 7.14.5 Functional Tests of PSA Mechanical Snubbers The training for drag force testing of PSA snubbers should include orientation on the operation of the snubber and the drag force effect on the piping. Actual snubbers and the STB-200 Test Bench should be demonstrated and used by the students to learn the proper technique of functional testing the snubber through its stroke. The entire requirement for stroking and as-left testing should be included. The method for determining activation should be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced by the students. 7.14.6 Rebuilding PSA Mechanical Snubbers The PSA mechanical snubber is a complex mechanism and the manufacturer recommends they provide the training. The manufacturer will issue a rebuild training certificate, which is required to be renewed every two years. Some vendors have been authorized by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to provide the training and some of those in TVA who have taken the training may be qualified to teach others. The rebuilding requires careful attention to many details and precision measurement in some cases. The training should include classroom instruction, practical demonstration, and practice in actual rebuilding. Special tooling is required and post maintenance tests shall be included to verify the rebuilding has been performed correctly. Browns Ferry does NOT rebuild mechanical snubbers, at this time, due to the extensive training and cost of purchasing and storing spare parts.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 28 of 166 7.15 Visual Examination Program The following applies to the regulatory requirements of safety-related and quality-related snubbers only. Other aspects of the program are contained in the section on "Balance of Plant Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers." 7.15.1 Scope and Frequency A. This program covers safety-related and quality-related snubbers, of which ASME Section XI snubbers are a subset. The visual examination shall verify that:

1. There are no visible indications of damage or impaired operability.
2. Attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are functional.
3. Fasteners for attachment of the snubber to the component and to the snubber anchorage are functional.

B. Safety-related snubbers require visual examinations on an interval determined by the number of unacceptable snubbers found, during the visual examination process, using Table 3.7.4-1 in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4. The basis of this frequency is provided in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. Removal of insulation is NOT required. Each time the performance is required the total population of the snubbers in the accessible or inaccessible category are required to be examined. The change in the frequency table described in the TRM requires that all the snubbers be examined either as separate categories or combined into one population. The table is more favorable if the snubbers are considered one population, and that usually is the choice that should be made and documented before the examinations begin. C. At Browns Ferry the decision has been made to count all snubbers as one group and this decision is documented in the unit specific SI. Based on past examinations, the results should permit skipping alternate outages and permit an interval between examinations up to 48 months. 7.15.2 Visual Inspection Package A. This package is the SI procedure and should be performed by locations, with ALARA considerations in mind, to minimize time spent or re-traveling through high radiation areas. B. In the process of performing visual examinations, special attention should be given to potential problems of snubbers which must be functionally tested, i.e., scaffolding/ladder required, total removal required, high radiation levels, etc.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 29 of 166 7.15.3 Examination Items The examination items are specified in the TRM. Additional detail shall be provided in the Surveillance Instructions. A check list of the items to be observed are clearly specified and data sheets have been developed to document examination results. These data sheets are located in Attachment 2 in 2-SI-4.6.H-1 and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 and Attachments 2, 3, and 4 in 1-SI-4.6.H-1. The Surveillance Instruction requires the completion of the appropriate Attachments for each snubber visually examined. 7.15.4 Resolution of Anomalies Many discrepancies can be found during the exams, but few actually result in inoperability of the snubber. All of the anomalies should be reviewed and dispositioned by an individual very knowledgeable in the operability requirements of the snubbers. A case of low fluid level may be resolved by functional test to verify the snubber will activate, followed by resolution of the leak. If a reservoir is found completely empty, the snubber shall be declared inoperable until a functional test has been performed, the results found acceptable and the leak has been resolved. Mechanical snubbers that are suspected of being bound up may be stroke tested to verify they are NOT bound up. Most other anomalies will require minor maintenance, if any action at all. All anomalies shall be handled in accordance with SPP-3.1, Corrective Action Program.

7.16 Decontamination 7.16.1 General Considerations A. Since the Snubber Rebuild and Test Facility is located in the Turbine Building, any snubber transported to the facility must satisfy RADCON requirements. B. Therefore, sometimes decontamination of snubbers may be necessary. A major consideration in decontaminating snubbers is avoiding changing the as-found condition (i.e., stroke setting) of the snubbers selected for as-found testing. Therefore, the ability to test the snubbers with a minimum amount of decontamination is desirable, but the inconvenience of testing and rebuilding contaminated snubbers can add significantly to the cost and time required for testing to be completed. 7.16.2 Decontamination of Mechanical Snubbers A. Mechanical snubbers are NOT water-tight. Where possible, these snubbers should be decontaminated by wiping with a dry cloth or using a foam cleaner rather than immersion into a cleaning fluid. Fluid that has entered the snubber may become trapped and eventually cause corrosion. Unless the snubber has been subjected to intrusion of contaminated fluid, the inside of the snubber should be free of contamination. 7.16.3 Decontamination of Hydraulic Snubbers A. Hydraulic snubbers are more resilient than mechanical snubbers. The only time a hydraulic snubber may have problems during decontamination is if high pressure water is used to remove the contamination. If this occurs care should be taken NOT to spray directly at the front rod wiper. The water pressure could force water past the rod wiper and the piston rod packing, since these seals are made to pressurize from the inside of the snubber. Water which has been forced into the snubber could affect the functional test results. B. Decontamination of hydraulic snubbers should be carefully controlled, especially for those that have a suspected low fluid level and supplied by a gravity feed reservoir. Ifthe fluid used to decontaminate the snubber seeps into the reservoir, or the reservoir is disassembled, the as-found fluid level is changed before the test is performed. For any snubber that is NOT scheduled for rebuild, the effects of the decontamination process should be thoroughly evaluated to determine whether the snubber should be disassembled to remove any fluid that might have entered. There should never be a need to disassemble a reservoir for decontamination. The vent hole in the reservoir of a gravity fed snubber is so small it should NOT allow contamination to enter, since it is always at the high point. Contamination usually falls instead of rising as it would have to do to infiltrate the reservoir.

7.17 Functional Test Program Guidelines Any newly added, replacement, or refurbished snubber should be tested in accordance with the applicable functional testing Surveillance Instruction prior to installation. Once the functional test has been performed it remains acceptable for 1 year after completion, unless something happens or there is a concern about the snubber. Functional tests are performed each operating cycle to meet Technical Requirements Manual TRM 3.7.4.2 verifying, by sampling 10% of each subgroup of snubber, that the safety-related or quality-related snubbers are operable. For each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria an additional 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup shall be tested, until no additional failures occur. In addition to the required sampling, snubbers under service life monitoring and balance-of-plant programs should be addressed. Specific Technical Requirements are given in the appropriate functional testing SI. When the required 100 percent visual exam is also to be performed for the operating cycle, it should be performed before the functional tests are performed. When the 100 percent visual exam is NOT required, a visual check of the snubber for indication of service-related degradation or damage of the snubber installation should be made before the snubber is disconnected or removed. This is a good preventative maintenance practice and NOT a SI visual examination requirement. 7.17.1 Functional Test Packages A. Test packages should be prepared for each individual snubber to be tested and should include the following:

1. Marked-up flow diagram to illustrate the snubber location in the system for Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor's review and approval.
2. Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor's authorization for snubber removal.
3. Configuration Control Drawing (CCD) or Design Change Authorization (DCA), approved for use by Site Engineering (Civil), depicting the current physical configuration.
4. Inservice Inspection (ISI) location drawing, if appropriate.
5. Notes of any special considerations such as scaffold or ladder requirements.

6. SI procedure, including data sheets.
7. Removal and Reinstallation procedure, including data sheets.
8. Calibration sheets for all M&TE used for this Work Implementing Document.

7.17.2 Functional Testing of PSA Mechanical Snubbers A. BFN Technical Requirements require drag force measurements and activation verifications. B. Mechanical snubber functional testing is performed to verify two characteristics, activation and drag force. The limit for acceleration is not to exceed 0.02 g's. Pacific Scientific Company (PSC) performed qualification tests on new snubbers and performed tests on snubbers that have been in extended plant service to verify the activation levels at various loads. PSC concluded that there is no significant change in activation value at any level of rated load of the snubber. C. Performing a test for activation of PSA snubbers requires a specialized test machine. BFN has a computer controlled API/Barker STB-200 snubber test. bench. The test bench is capable of testing any size PSA snubber and most medium and small bore hydraulic snubbers. The software performs four basic functions:

1. Operator interface
2. Machine control
3. Data acquisition and conversion
4. Data analysis and presentation Test results are presented in the form of a graph with maximum and average test values. The printout is easy to read and understand.

D. Visual Examination (VE) Perform the VE according to the SI if the VE SI is scheduled for the current operating cycle. Otherwise, perform the visual check to determine overall integrity of the snubber.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 33 of 166 7.17.2 Functional Testing of PSA Mechanical Snubbers (continued) E. Activation Test Activation test is performed using the test bench. Testing is performed in both directions (tension and compression). The acceptance criteria are equal to or less than 0.02 g's. F. As-Found and As-Left Drag Force Test Drag force is the minimum force required to initiate or maintain motion of the snubber. The drag force of any snubber should NOT over-stress the supported system/component. The snubber manufacturers recommended drag force value is 5% of the rated load for an NF mechanical snubber, except for the PSA-1/4. This test is performed to verify the drag force of the snubber will NOT exceed 5% of the snubber rated load. An exception to this 5% of the rated load requirement is made when considering PSA 1/4 snubbers. In accordance with information from PSC, the PSA 1/4 snubber (Design Rated Load (DRL) - 350 lbs.) is evaluated to the same requirements as the PSA 1/2 (DRL - 650 lbs.) from a design load consideration. As determined by PSC, drag forces greater than 5% (except the PSA-1/4) is indicative of impending snubber failure. If the drag force of the snubber is acceptable during the As-Found testing it may be used for the As-Left test results. For As-Found drag forces that exceed 3% but are less than 5%, the snubber shall be stroked several times in an attempt to redistribute the grease and reduce the drag. The snubber shall then be retested for drag. If the drag force does NOT reduce to 3% or below, the snubber shall be replaced.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 34 of 166 7.17.3 Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek, Grinnell Hydraulic and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers The large size and difficult-to-remove snubbers, such as the Torus Dynamic Restraint snubbers, may be tested more economically in place, using machines designed for that purpose. The functional tests can be performed to determine lockup velocities, bleed rates, and seal integrity with the removal of only one pin. This functional testing will be performed by a contractor as BFN does NOT have a test machine with these capabilities. As with other snubbers this functional testing is performed in both the Extension (Tension) and Retraction (Compression) directions for lockup and bleed. Seal integrity is performed against the blind end and the rod end. The smaller hydraulic snubbers are removed from the installed location, decontaminated, if necessary, and taken to the test bench for testing. As with other snubbers this functional testing is performed in both the Extension (Tension) and Retraction (Compression) directions for lockup and bleed. The computer controlled API/Barker STB-200 snubber test benches are capable of testing all Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek or Grinnell hydraulic snubbers. The benches are easy to operate and the software is user friendly. The test results, i.e. lockup (activation) velocity, bleed (release) rate, and drag force are presented in the form of a graph with maximum and average test values. The printout is easy to read and understand. The graphs are to be placed with the SI functional test package and sent to the Electronic Document Management System (EMDS). A. Visual Examination (VE) Perform the VE according to the SI if the VE SI is scheduled for the current operating cycle. Otherwise, perform the visual check to determine overall integrity of the snubber. B. AS-Found and As-Left Lockup (Activation) and Drag Force Test Lockup (activation) velocity and bleed rate should be in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the applicable functional test Surveillance Instruction. The drag force of any snubber should NOT over-stress the supported system/component. The snubber manufacturers factory or recommended drag force value is 2% of the rated load of an NF hydraulic snubber. That is taken as a screening value and larger values are evaluated on a case by case basis when found. Higher generic screening values might be obtained with piping system reanalysis or evaluation performed by Site Engineering (Civil).

Replacement of Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers If a Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraint fails to pass its functional test acceptance criteria, the restraint shall be replaced with a new Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint. 7.18 Rebuilding of Hydraulic Snubbers Rebuilding of hydraulic snubbers shall be performed by task qualified and trained persons. Hydraulic snubbers shall be rebuilt in accordance with the following procedures, MPI-0-000-SNBOO1, Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Grinnell Unit Disassembly and Reassembly and MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek Unit Disassembly and Reassembly, as appropriate. 7.18.1 Hydraulic Rebuild Packages A. Rebuild packages should be prepared for each individual snubber to be rebuilt and should include the following, as a minimum:

1. Removal and Reinstallation procedure, including data sheets.
2. Functional test SI procedure, including data sheets.
3. Appropriate rebuild procedure, including data sheets.
4. Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor's authorization for snubber removal.
5. Description, serial number, UNID, location history and the Work Implementing Document (WID) which removed the snubber, if the snubber was stored in the snubber test/rebuild facility.
6. Copy of the purchase contract, if the snubber was bought out of Nuclear Stores.
7. Completed ASME Section Xl paperwork and NIS-2 forms.
8. Marked-up flow diagram to illustrate the snubber location in the system for Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor's review and approval.
9. Configuration Control Drawing (CCD) or Design Change Authorization (DCA), approved for use by Site Engineering (Civil), depicting the current physical configuration.

15. PIC ticket for the seal kit, any new parts required and hydraulic fluid.

7.19 Evaluation of Degraded and Failed Snubbers 7.19.1 Degraded Snubbers A. General Information By the criteria established, degraded snubbers, are capable of performing their design basis function(s) and therefore have no effect on the system/component ability to perform its design basis function(s). (i.e., there are no Operability issues with degraded snubbers). There are several items which can cause both mechanical and hydraulic snubbers to be in a degraded condition. These are as follows:

1. Cotter pins missing or installed but legs NOT sufficiently bent to prevent the pin from backing out.
2. Pivot pin retaining ring missing.
3. Security locking devices (i.e., locking tabs or wire) on the snubber attachment bolts missing, if required.
4. Spacers missing, leaving excessive gap on one side of the clevis.

When any of these conditions are found a Problem Evaluation Report (PER) should be written and the condition is to be corrected to prevent a more serious condition or cause a failure of the snubber in the future.

7.19.1 Degraded Snubbers (continued) B. Mechanical Snubbers Drag force is the only criteria which has a degraded category. The degraded category, for the drag force, is considered to be between 3% and 5% of the snubbers rated load.

1. If the snubber drag force is less than or equal to 3% of the snubbers rated load, the snubber may be reinstalled in its location without any further evaluation.
2. If the snubber drag force is above 3% but less than or equal to 5% of the snubbers rated load, the snubber shall be evaluated for impending failure.
3. If the snubber as found drag force is found to be above 5% of the snubber rated load, the snubber shall be declared as a functional failure and replaced. Also a Problem Evaluation Report (PER), an engineering failure analysis and a supported system/component analysis shall be completed.

C. Hydraulic Snubbers The following conditions are considered as degradations for hydraulic snubbers:

1. Pits, scratches, or rough areas observed on the piston rod that would NOT contact the piston seals.
2. Fluid reservoir being below the minimum level, based on the temperature, but NOT empty.
3. Minor leaks which have NOT reduced the volume of the reservoir below the minimum required.
4. Minor rust or corrosion on the body of the snubber.

When any of these conditions are found a Problem Evaluation Report (PER) should be written and the condition corrected to prevent a more serious condition or cause a failure of the snubber in the future.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 38 of 166 7.19.2 Failed Snubbers A. General Information

1. Snubber Failure Classifications and Definitions:
a. Location - A failure of a snubber(s) resulting from environmental conditions. Examples include failure of a snubber due to excessive heat, failure due to excessive local system vibration or failure due to other localized anomalies.
b. Manufacturing - A failure resulting from a potential defect in manufacturing. Examples include incorrectly assembled snubbers, inclusion of incorrect piece parts and failure of a snubber(s) due to improper or incorrect maintenance or repair practices performed by the vendor.
c. Design - A failure resulting from an error in the design. This classification would include incorrectly sized snubbers, snubbers provided with insufficient travel, snubbers with insufficient swing margins and design misapplications or errors.
d. Unknown - A failure that cannot be categorized as location, manufacturing, design or other. This includes all failures for which the cause of failure cannot be determined.
e. Other - When the unknown cause of the failure cannot be categorized as location, manufacturing or design. This classification would include snubbers that fail due to end of service life. Additional examples include failure of snubbers due to plant transients, misapplication of rigging loads to the snubber and incidental interaction of tools or equipment on the snubber.
2. A failed snubber is "GENERALLY" considered as NOT being able to perform the design basis function of the snubber. However, for the specific location even a failed snubber may be capable of performing its design basis function.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 39 of 166 7.19.2 Failed Snubbers (continued)

3. If the failure was found as part of the Technical Requirements Manual initial or any subsequent samples the following is the minimum required testing expansion:
a. Expand the sample by 10% of the remaining snubbers in the subgroup, and
b. If the cause of the failure is determined to be a system transient, test all snubbers on that system, which could have been affected by the transient, and
c. If the cause is a generic manufacturing defect, test all snubbers of that same type, and
d. Identify and test all other snubbers suspected of the same failure mode.
4. If the failure was found outside of the Technical Requirements Manual initial or any subsequent samples (i.e., other maintenance activity, testing directed/requested by the Snubber Engineer, Service Life Monitoring testing, testing of snubbers on non-Technical Specification or Technical Requirements Manual systems, etc.) the following is the minimum required testing expansion:
a. If the cause of the failure is determined to be a system transient, test all snubbers on that system, which could have been affected by the transient, and
b. If the cause is a generic manufacturing defect, test all snubbers of that same type, and
c. Identify and test all other snubbers suspected of the same failure mode.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 40 of 166 7.19.2 Failed Snubbers (continued) B. Failure Analysis When a snubber fails to meet the functional test acceptance criteria, an engineering evaluation shall be made to determine the cause of the failure, as required by TSR 3.7.4.3. The results of this evaluation shall be used, if applicable, in selecting snubbers to be tested in an effort to determine the OPERABILITY of other snubbers irrespective of the type which may be subject to the same failure mode. This evaluation may also be used by Site Engineering (Civil) when they are required to perform a supported system/component analysis. During the failure analysis of hydraulic and mechanical snubbers, the performance should be very methodical. Hydraulic snubbers typically fail because of loss of fluid, which results in no restraining action. This is referred to as failing soft. Some types of snubbers are prone to fail from a loss of bleed capability. This will be of affect only if the snubber has been activated. The failure analysis is to determine the reasons these conditions developed. Appendix H provides many very good points to be investigated during the analysis of hydraulic snubbers and their component parts, but this Appendix should NOT be viewed as all inclusive. PSA mechanical snubbers typically fail from high drag forces that approach or are in the locked up condition. That condition requires a supported system/component analysis to determine the affect on the piping system or component from restriction of the thermal movement, in addition to the analysis to determine the cause of the high drag or locked up condition. Appendix I provides many very good points to be investigated during the analysis of mechanical snubbers and their component parts, but this Appendix should NOT be viewed as all inclusive. C. Failure Cause Determination Techniques Sometimes the cause of the inoperable condition can be determined by external examination, such as loose tubing connections or paint in the wrong places (i.e., on the moving parts). However, in most cases the snubber will require disassembly to determine what caused the condition. Visual examinations and measurements, coupled with the knowledge of what is required to keep the snubber operable are usually sufficient to determine what caused the condition. Sometimes additional knowledge is required to determine whether a part broke from an overload or fatigue, or broke in tension or compression, etc. Additional investigation is usually required to determine what caused the defect to develop. Such root causes may be improper maintenance, improper design or operation resulting in excessive vibration of the supported system/component.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 41 of 166 7.20 Supported System/Component Analysis 7.20.1 Mechanical Snubbers The drag force of the snubber should NOT overstress the supported system/component as a result of thermal expansion or contraction. The snubber manufacturer's recommended limiting drag force is 5% of the rated load of the snubber, except for the PSA-1/4. However, that value is applicable only to the functionality of the snubber. The structure, component, piping, or equipment that the snubber is supporting must be evaluated for high drag forces to ensure they have NOT been overstressed beyond their allowable limits. REFER TO General Construction Specification G-43 for screening values based on pipe size to determine when a supported system/component analysis is required. 7.20.2 Hydraulic Snubbers The drag force of the snubber should NOT overstress the supported system/component as a result of thermal expansion or contraction. The snubber manufacturer's recommended limiting drag force is 2% of the rated load. However, that value is applicable only to the functionality of the snubber. The drag force of a hydraulic snubber will NOT overstress the pipe, but an analysis is required since the snubber failed its functional test acceptance criteria. General Engineering Specification G-43 gives screening values based on pipe size to determine when a supported system/component analysis is required. The G-43 values have NOT been accepted at Browns Ferry for hydraulic snubbers at this time. A supported system/component analysis is required if the snubber failed the functional test acceptance criteria for activation and bleed.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 42 of 166 7.21 Performance Monitoring and Trending 7.21.1 General Approach The performance of snubbers is indicated by the results of the functional tests. The snubber tracking data base program is the primary means for tracking and trending of snubber performance. Some short term tracking is required by the Technical Requirements Manual relating to snubbers installed in the same location as other snubbers that failed during previous outage tests due to location or unknown causes. These snubbers are required to be tested during the next operating cycle if the failure was due to location or design deficiencies. Other manual tracking can be performed by referencing the functional test data sheets from previous outages; however, this tracking can be performed more efficiently if historical snubber tracking data base information is available. When the same snubber has been tested several times, its results may be reviewed to determine whether a trend may be developing in the results. Appendix G provides additional guidance for the performance monitoring and trending of snubbers. 7.21.2 Trending for Hydraulic Snubbers The test results that are significant for trending are the activation velocity and the bleed rate. Typically the snubber is rebuilt and as-left tests are performed to set the values in the optimum portion of the acceptance range. The results of the next as-found test should be compared to the last as-left test to determine any drift that has taken place. If the drift is consistent, the optimum setting might be changed to keep the as-found tests better in the acceptance range. If a snubber has NOT been rebuilt, the results of the next as-found test should be compared to the last as-found test to see if the acceptance range is degrading with the increased stay time.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 43 of 166 7.21.3 Mechanical Snubber Performance Trending A. Changes in drag force can take place for a number of reasons and there is no set pattern known to be specifically predictable. When high drag forces are caused by excessive or hardening lubricant, stroking the snubber can cause a redistribution of the lubricant, resulting in reducing the drag forces. The drag force may remain relatively low for a number of years when the lubricant is redistributed. Corrosion can be broken loose by stroking, but is usually progressive, and the drag force can be expected to increase again soon. Snubbers are monitored for performance, with increasing drag forces taken as an indication of impending failure of the snubber. Snubbers previous test results should be reviewed to determine whether the trend is upward and some preventive maintenance is advisable to avoid the requirement of having drag forces above the screening criteria evaluated. Snubber drag forces between 3 to 5 percent of rated load should be evaluated for impending failures. The acceptance criteria for "as-left" drag forces is equal to or below 3% of the rated load for the snubber, with the exception of PSA 1/4 which use the acceptance criteria for PSA 1/2 snubbers. This practice is consistent with good industry practice to proactively replace PSA mechanical snubbers to reduce future test failures. B. An upward trend in the drag force will effectively result in lowering the acceleration value, and there is no lower limit to the acceleration value. The concern with a locked up snubber is possible over stressing of the supported system/component under normal loading conditions. Some testing has indicated in some snubbers a slight upward trend in the acceleration value due to wear. Any performance monitoring of acceleration should be carefully evaluated using other plants and PSC test program results to determine its value.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 44 of 166 7.22 Service Life Monitoring 7.22.1 Regulatory Requirements The TR requires that the service life of hydraulic and mechanical snubbers be monitored to ensure that the service life is NOT exceeded between surveillance inspections. The object is to replace degraded components before they become inoperable. Service life varies with conditions and materials, and should be adjusted based on actual experience. Appendix G, of this procedure, provides additional guidance for a complete service life monitoring program. 7.22.2 Hydraulic Snubber Service Life Program The static and dynamic seals, moving parts and fluid are subject to wear or other degradation. Hydraulic snubbers at Browns Ferry have ethylene propylene seals. The ethylene propylene seals at Browns Ferry have an established nominal service life of 17.3 years. Balance of plant hydraulic snubbers may be treated the same as safety-related snubbers for seal life extension. The piston, piston rod, cylinder, and glands are also subject to wear, especially in high vibration installations. Those, and other moving parts of the snubber, should be examined carefully each time the seals are replaced, and replacements made to prevent leakage or other conditions of in-operability before the next time the snubber is to be rebuilt. The fluid, if to be reused, should be checked at the rebuild time for moisture content and particulate content to determine whether it should be filtered to bring it within the specifications. 7.22.3 PSA Mechanical Snubber Service Life Monitoring Drag force increase is NOT a reliable indicator of the remaining service life of the PSC snubber, but it is the best indicator identified to date. Therefore, service life effort involves tracking drag force variations.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 45 of 166 7.23 Balance of Plant Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers A. Snubbers installed in non-safety-related or non-quality-related applications are included in the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program for performance of visual examinations and functional tests on a basis subject to review and adjustment based on the results. Both hydraulic and mechanical snubbers will be included in the PM program. B. Hydraulic snubber visual exams should be performed for fluid level and obvious problems frequently enough to assure the fluid level stays within the operability range. Snubbers should be examined for fluid level the next outage after they have been rebuilt, and the next exams scheduled based on the results and past experience. Balance of plant snubbers installed in similar environmental conditions as safety-related snubbers may be used to verify extension of seal life for the safety-related snubbers. Functional tests should be performed on a percentage and frequency based on the results of the safety-related snubber test results. A low failure rate would indicate an extended interval between tests and possibly a small sample would be appropriate. C. The mechanical snubbers should be examined for signs of overload, abuse, and corrosion. The exams should be performed based on the environmental conditions and the activities performed in the area. A functional (activation or drag force) test or hand stroking, whichever is needed to confirm adequate freedom of movement, should be performed on suspect snubbers, and a sampling program should be considered.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 46 of 166 7.24 Dynamic Transients [1] In the event of a water hammer or an unanticipated transient, the following inspection and testing shall be performed to determine snubber operability. A Work Order (WO) is NOT required for a visual examination, but is required for performance of any functional testing or hand stroking required. [1.1] VISUALLY INSPECT all snubbers and snubber supports that have been subjected to the transient. The visual inspection shall be performed in accordance with 1-, 2-, or 3-SI-4.6.H-1, as applicable. [1.2] If the visual inspection reveals damage to the snubbers or to the snubber supports MANUALLY STROKE all mechanical snubbers, that have been subjected to the transient, to their full range of travel. Also PERFORM in-place drag force testing in accordance with O-SI-4.6.H-2A. [1.3] IF no visible damage to the snubber or snubber support is determined, THEN MANUALLY STROKE 10% of the snubbers that have been subjected to the transient and PERFORM in-place drag force testing in accordance with 0-SI-4.6.H-2A. [1.4] IF any snubber is found to be unacceptable THEN an additional 10% of the snubbers, subjected to the transient, shall be tested until no failure is found or all snubbers, subjected to the transient, have been tested. [1.5] PERFORM a failure analysis for each failed snubber to determine failure mode. [1.6] Testing of hydraulic snubbers is NOT required since internal damage to the hydraulic snubber in NOT likely to occur.

7.25 Snubber Users Group (SNUG) 7.25.1 SNUG Organization Formation and Purpose SNUG was formed in the winter of 1984 as an information sharing group which addresses industry snubber concerns including maintenance, regulation, and surveillance. SNUG does NOT formally address licensing concerns and vendors will NOT be allowed membership. The only membership requirements are that a utility must actively participate in the SNUG data base information exchange and a small fee, as designated by the Board of Directors. Each utility is requested also to select two designees at each plant and/or utility as primary and secondary contacts. Further information concerning SNUG may be found in the SNUG "By-Laws" and "Policy Statements". 7.26 Snubber Program Notebook The snubber program notebook contains the program description, future refueling outage schedule, trend data, results of recent snubber inspections, program health reports, industry operating experience, hard to find snubber information, and a log of recent program challenges or issues. Appendix L is an example of the suggested format. Procedures and other controlled documents do not need to be included, but should be specifically referenced, in the snubber program notebook. 8.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA In accordance with the applicable and appropriate Maintenance and Surveillance Instructions.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 49 of 166 Appendix A (Page 1 of 6) Snubber Request for Relief 3-ISI-2 This relief request was approved by the NRC per Reference L and will be implemented during the Unit 3 Cycle 9 refueling outage.

SUMMARY

Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i), TVA is requesting relief from the identified ASME Section XI requirements related to examination and testing of snubbers. TVA proposes to continue use of the examination and testing plans currently defined in the Technical Requirements Manual (TR 3.7.4). The current Technical Requirements Manual requirements have been promulgated, accepted, and approved (on July 14, 1998 for Browns Ferry Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3) by NRC, while ASME Section Xl imposes overlapping requirements which do not enhance the quality and safety of the subject snubber examination and testing. COMPONENTS: Component/piping snubbers CODE CLASS: 1, 2 and 3 CODE REQUIREMENT: 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI (no addenda) IWF-5300(a) and (b) inservice examination and testing in accordance with the first Addenda to ASME/ANSI OM-1987, Part 4. IWF-5400 Repairs and Replacements of snubbers shall be in accordance with the first Addenda to ASME/ANSI OM-1987, Part 4. IWA-6230 requires inservice inspection summary reports for snubbers be filed with regulatory authority. IWA-21 10 requires Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspector (ANII) involvement for snubber examination and testing.

Appendix A (Page 2 of 6) CODE REQUIREMENT FROM WHICH RELIEF IS REQUESTED: In accordance with 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested from the ASME Section Xl, 1989 Edition (no addenda), requirement for inservice examinations and tests for snubbers, and repair/replacement examinations and tests of snubbers: IWF-5300(a) and (b) Inservice Examination and Testing, and implied OM-1 987, Part 4, Sections 2.3, Inservice Examinations, 2.4, Examination Documentation, and 3.2, Inservice Operability Testing, and 3.3, Testing Documentation. IWF-5400 Repairs and Replacements of snubbers shall be in accordance with the first Addenda to ASME/ANSI OM-1987, Part 4, Sections 1.5.6, Snubber Maintenance or Repair, and 1.5.7, Snubber Modification and Replacement. IWA-6230, Summary Reports (for snubbers). IWA-21 10(a)(5) and (c), Duties of the Inspector (for involvement for snubber examination and testing). BASIS FOR RELIEF: ASME Section Xl Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are examined and tested in accordance with Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section Xl program. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section Xl and the plant TRM would result in duplication of effort utilizing different standards and require the preparation of a separate program and associated procedures. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. In addition the personnel performing snubber visual examinations would also be required to be certified in accordance with the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A "Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing", which is an additional certification as compared to the task training qualification required to perform the TRM required examinations and testing of snubbers. The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers was promulgated, accepted, and approved by NRC. The implementation of OM-1 987, Part 4, would require BFN to initiate a snubber examination and testing program that is more complicated and expensive to perform, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 51 of 166 Appendix A (Page 3 of 6) ALTERNATE EXAMINATIONS: The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the examination and testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and repair/replacement activities. The procedures utilized for these examinations are: 3-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers"; O-SI-4.6.H-2A, "Functional Testing of Mechanical Snubbers"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic Snubbers"; O-SI-4.6.H-2C, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints"; O-SI-4.6.H-2E, "Functional Testing of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints"; MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson Unit Disassembly and Reassembly"; and MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers". This will include the pin-to-pin area inclusive of applicable snubbers. Testing of repaired and replaced snubbers will also be performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4. Visual examination of repaired and replaced snubbers will be performed in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers". Snubber examination and testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, SSP-3.1, and the implementing procedures (3-SI-4.6.H-1, O-SI-4.6.H-2A, O-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2C, O-SI-4.6.H-2E, MPI-0-000-SNBO02, and MPI-0-000-SNB004). The areas inclusive of the pins back to building structure and to the component/piping being supported will remain in the ASME Section Xl examination boundary.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 52 of 166 Appendix A (Page 4 of 6) JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: The current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by OM-1987 Code, Part 4, and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated in the OM Code referenced by the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI. Examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is currently performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4, which utilizes the guidance provided by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The OM Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and test plans (10%, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing efforts and different requirements for snubber quantities subject to examination or test, actually examined and/or tested, and sample expansion requirements. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers has been promulgated and accepted by NRC. The differences in the two programs could create confusion when selecting test samples, applying acceptance criteria, corrective actions and examination schedules for failed snubbers. This situation could increase the possibility of applying the wrong action, thus creating a nonconformance, an in-operability or even a violation of a TRM requirement. To eliminate any misinterpretation or confusion in administering overlapping requirements for snubbers, and to remove the possibility of applying contradicting requirements to the same snubber(s), BFN proposes to examine and test snubbers in accordance with BFN TR 3.7.4. Sub-article IWF-5400 provides the requirements for repair and replacement of snubbers to be in accordance with OM-1987, Part 4, Section 1.5.6, "Snubber Maintenance or Repair" and 1.5.7, "Snubber Modification and Replacement" require repaired and replaced snubbers to meet the visual examination requirements of Paragraph 2.3.1.2 and the operability test requirements of Paragraph 3.2.1.1. Section 1.5.6 also requires an evaluation of the maintenance or repair activity and Section 1.5.7 requires a suitability evaluation on the replacement/modified snubber. TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers and snubbers which have repairs which might affect the functional test results to be tested to meet the functional test criteria prior to installation. Maintenance procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria for installation of a snubber after repair or replacement. The ASME Section XI repair/replacement program at BFN documents the suitability of repairs, IWA-4130(a)(4), and replacements, IWA-7220.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 53 of 166 Appendix A (Page 5 of 6) ASME Section Xl, VT-3 certification required for personnel performing snubber visual examinations is an additional certification as compared with the TRM program training qualifications. Personnel performing the TRM required visual examinations are "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing required by the TRM and implemented by the referenced procedures. This training currently includes a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the acceptance criteria associated with procedure MPI-0-000-SNBO04. Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria, specified in the TRM implementing procedures, provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Because relief is sought from the ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section Xl snubber examination and test activities to require ANII involvement. The BFN TRM snubber program does not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements. The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements. A snubber program manager provides oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both visual and functional testing. This oversight includes both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager provides an acceptable level of quality and safety without ANII involvement in those activities. ANII involvement in other inservice repair and replacement snubber activities, as required by IWA-21 10(g) and (h) and implemented by BFN's ASME Section Xl repair and replacement program will be maintained. Sub-article IWA-6230 and OM-1987, Part 4, Sections 2.3 and 3.3 provide requirements for ASME Section Xl inservice examination and test documentation for snubbers and a summary report of examinations and testing. Under the alternate requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section XI inservice examination and testing to document in a summary report. TR 3.7.4 is implemented by surveillance instructions 3-S1-4.6.H-1, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, and maintenance instructions MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, and MPI-0-000-SNBOO4. These instructions are written and approved in accordance with the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program, include data sheets for documenting the visual examination and functional test data and results, and provide for documentation of non conforming results and evaluation of those results. The completed data sheets are QA records and are controlled and maintained in accordance with the BFN QA records program. These records are available onsite for review and inspection. The QA records documenting snubber visual examinations and functional tests provide an acceptable level of quality and safety when compared to the requirements of ASME Section Xl and OM-1 987, Part 4.

Appendix A (Page 6 of 6) Based on the justification provided, BFN's examination and testing of snubbers, in accordance with TR 3.7.4 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR50.55(a)(3)(i), TVA requests that relief be granted from the 1989 Edition of ASME Section Xl Code requirements related to inservice examination and testing for snubbers. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: TR 3.7.4 will be implemented during the second ten-year ASME Section XI inspection interval for snubber examination and testing in lieu of the code requirements listed above.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 55 of 166 Appendix B (Page 1 of 8) Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek Hydraulic Snubber 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hydraulic snubbers consist basically of a main cylinder, main piston, fluid modulating (control valve) device and fluid makeup reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through the control valves with little or no resistance. Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts. BFN purchased its original snubbers from Bergen-Paterson and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Bergen-Paterson Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects the rating in KIPS of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given an individual serial number, therefore Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location. In 1978 Bergen-Paterson revised their numbering system to the following: 2500 - XXX XXX Model No. Kip Rating Sequential Unit No. Later the numbering system was changed by Anchor/Darling to the following: ADH - XXX XXX Model No. Sequential Unit No. Fronek has retained the Anchor/Darling numbering system. The Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling and Fronek snubbers are located in all three units.

The following parameters shall be verified to work on the test machine, with the associated snubbers, and the accompanying plot shall be located as close to the center of the graph as possible. If the plot does NOT show in the center of the graph the following parameters may be changed to center the plot and give the best looking plot available. Valve Open - This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the dead band.

  • Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value must be controlled enough so the snubber'will lockup and bleed, prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.
          "    Ramp Duration - This value sets the time duration of the ramp between valve start and valve end. This value may be decreased, which moves the plot to the left on the graph. In the acceleration tests this value is limited to .45 sec maximum.
          "    Load Duration - This is the time that the valve will remain at the valve end position, after the ramp time has elapsed. Adjusting this value "up" will assure that the complete test will show on the graph.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 58 of 166 Appendix B (Page 4 of 8) 4.0 POPPET TYPE CONTROL VALVES Most snubber designs use spring loaded poppet (flow sensitive check) valves to limit the velocity of the piston rod. The lockup is controlled by the size of the flats on the head of the poppet and bleed rate is controlled by small grooves cut in the bottom portion (seating area) of the poppet. The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These valves are NOT adjustable and the poppet or spring are required to be replaced to achieve the desired lockup or bleed rate. When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different size poppet heads are used to close at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel. The small flow also prevents a solid lock-up of the valve and potential difficulty in the relief of pressure on the valve. If for some reason the grooves become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize. This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event. 5.0 RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons: to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models.

  • to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid.
    "      to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.

This type of snubber contains a pressurized, external (integral) reservoir. These pressurized reservoirs are isolated from the atmosphere by a plunger attached to a piston. This type of reservoir is less prone to the intrusion of moisture, but they do have one fault. That is the reservoir plunger penetration does NOT have a seal and if the snubber is NOT oriented properly water can penetrate into the atmospheric side of the reservoir and deteriorate the piston and seals causing total fluid loss from the reservoir.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0' Rev. 0005 Page 59 of 166 Appendix B (Page 5 of 8) 6.0 HYDRAULIC SNUBBER FLUIDS 6.1 General Requirements The fluid used in snubbers should be fire resistant, radiation resistant, have a flat viscosity curve, and be compatible with seal materials such as ethylene propylene. The silicon fluid used at BFN is General Electric (GE) SF-1 154. This fluid is expensive and should be reused when practical. The fluid should NOT get contaminated since it is used under pressure in these snubbers. Partially used container should be closed with an air tight cap to prevent moisture from entering the container. If open to the atmosphere this fluid is extremely prone to the absorption of moisture.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 63 of 166 Appendix C (Page 1 of 10) Grinnell Hydraulic Snubbers 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hydraulic snubbers consist basically of a main cylinder, main piston, fluid modulating (control valve) device and fluid makeup reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, when piping and equipment moves thermally at relatively low velocities, fluid passes from one end of the main cylinder to the other through control valves with little or no resistance. Under dynamic conditions, at relatively high velocities, the fluid is "choked" (snubber lock up) or blocked at the control valve, allowing little or no further motion of the main piston rod other than that due to compression of the fluid and metallic parts. BFN purchased its original snubbers from Grinnell Company and they were purchased as Safety-Related, NF. The Grinnell Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects a figure number and the bore size, in inches, of each snubber. These snubbers were manufactured in lots and NOT given individual serial numbers. Therefore, Browns Ferry developed an individual serial number and stamped this number on the snubber body. This numbering system has been the means of tracking these snubbers as they have been moved from location to location. There is only one size of Grinnell Hydraulic snubbers at Browns Ferry and this is a 4 inch bore and is listed in the procedures as ITT. There are two different body styles (Lynair and Lindco) of these snubbers. These snubbers are only located in Unit 2. 2.0 TYPES AND SIZES FOR THE GRINNELL HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS: GRNL 4, 27.3 Kips, 5 inch stroke (Grinnell part number Fig 200/201) 3.0 TEST PARAMETERS IN THE SNUBBER TEST MACHINE PROGRAM: The following parameters shall be verified to work on the test machine, with the associated snubbers, and the accompanying plot shall be located as close to the center of the graph as possible. If the plot does NOT show in the center of the graph the following parameters may be changed to center the plot and give the best looking plot available. Valve Open - This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the deadband.

     "    Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value must be controlled enough so the snubber will lockup and bleed prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 65 of 166 Appendix C (Page 3 of 10), 4.0 LOCKUP/BLEED TYPE CONTROL VALVES The type control valve used at Browns Ferry in both types of snubbers is a flow sensitive check valve (poppets) in parallel with bleed orifices. The spring is calibrated to keep the poppet valve from closing on its seat until the fluid velocity past the poppet head provides enough force on the poppet to overcome the spring and close the poppet. These are designed as adjustable valves which use screws-to make the adjustments. They can be more finely tuned for the lockup and bleed rate desired, but they are also easy to become out of tolerance due to vibration of piping or equipment to which they are attached. When the cylinder has a single ended piston rod and the flow rate from the front and rear of the piston will be different for the same piston velocity, different adjustments are used to force the poppets closed at approximately the same piston velocity in either direction of travel. These valves have two distinct modes of operation (locked and unlocked). In order for the snubber to return to the free movement mode, after becoming locked, the piston rod velocity must decrease to practically zero. This allows the pressure to drop, the spring to disengage the poppet and the valve assembly to become unlocked. If for some reason the bleed orifices become clogged the snubber would remain a rigid strut until enough time elapsed to allow the snubber to depressurize. This could cause serious damage to the piping or equipment if thermal movements were required to take place immediately after a dynamic event. 5.0 RESERVOIRS Hydraulic snubbers usually require a fluid reservoir for the following reasons:

  • to provide makeup fluid for the volume displaced by the piston rod in single ended piston rod models.
     "     to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid.
  • to provide a fluid reserve in the event of low level fluid loss such as that due to normal rod wetting during stroking.

These snubbers contain non-pressurized (vented), external (integral) reservoirs. These non-pressurized reservoirs are vented to the atmosphere and should include a breather filter to prevent contaminants from entering. With the silicon fluids being used today there is also a danger of moisture entering the fluid, which may cause rusting, pitting and increased seal degradation to occur. These snubbers should only be installed in an orientation, with the breather port (vent) above the fluid level, to prevent the loss of fluid.

All of the restraints are dimensionally and functionally identical and can be installed at any location. All of the restraints are identified by individual serial numbers to serve as a specific identification for each restraint during manufacture, initial testing, and future recording purposes. These restraints effectively restrain forces in both tension and compression, along an axis of 45 degrees from the horizontal, in the radial direction from the centerline of the reactor. The restraints have a service life of 40 years and no service life monitoring program will be required for these restraints. The Torus Dynamic Restraints consist of a 12 inch bore, internally ported hydraulic, cylinder having a poppet valve assembly located in recesses machined in the blind and rod end heads. The valve controlling movement in the extension direction is located in the rod end head (nearest the Torus) and the valve controlling movement in the retraction direction is located in the blind end head (nearest the wall). The poppet valve has grooves which allow a small amount of fluid to pass the poppet after the activation velocity, of between 6 and 25 inches per minute, has been exceeded and the poppet has closed. A spring loaded pressurized fluid accumulator is mounted on flat machined surfaces on the upper portion of the circular surface of the blind end and rod end heads. The hydraulic system is maintained under pressure to maintain a minimum required 6300 kips/in spring constant. The restraint has a total stroke length of 1-1/2 inches. The rod end paddle of the restraint is pinned to a clevis bracket welded to each ring girder above the PSC ring header support. The blind end paddle is pinned to a clevis bracket mounted on the wall. The original pins are 4 inch diameter and have a slight interference fit between the clevis eye and the spherical bushing on the restraint.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 74 of 166 Appendix D (Page 2 of 9) 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued) When the restraints are removed for functional testing, a new two piece pin is installed in the place of the shrink fit pin to enhance the removal and reinstallation of the restraints in the future. All of the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints are accessible during reactor operation and form a single group because they are identical in design. They are a group separate from other Bergen-Paterson snubbers because of the seal, valve design and size. The restraints are designed to reduce the dynamic response of the Torus to excitation caused by a design base LOCA. The principal specification governing performance of the restraints is the 7000 kip/inch minimum dynamic spring rate. The restraints have a maximum rated load of 200 KIPS in tension and 230 KIPS in compression. 2.0 OPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS (CEB'84 0503 015) This information defines operability requirements for the Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers and provides related maintenance recommendations. 2.1 General Operability Requirements Torus Restraint Snubber (TRS) operability is of concern for conditions requiring primary containment integrity and for which a significant potential for a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) exists. Those conditions exist when the reactor is in the operating, hot standby, or hot shutdown mode, as defined by the BFN Technical Specifications. They do NOT exist in the refueling or cold shutdown mode. To be considered operable, a TRS must be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable TVA design drawings and BP instruction manuals. In addition, the snubber reservoir fluid level must be maintained such that an acceptable axial spring rate is provided.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 75 of 166 Appendix D (Page 3 of 9) 2.2 Effect of Inoperability The TRS function is to reduce dynamic motion of a Torus and its attachments (structures and piping) during postulated LOCA events. They also limit Torus motion during normal safety/relief valve discharges and postulated seismic events but are NOT required for plant safety under those conditions. Each TRS restrains 1 of the 16 ring girders on a Torus. Its region of significant influence is within the two Torus bays adjacent to that ring girder. Each TRS basically functions independently during a postulated LOCA event. If one TRS was inoperable during a LOCA, the applicable code allowable stress for the Torus and attachments in the adjacent bays could be exceeded. If two or more snubbers were inoperable, proportionately larger regions of the Torus would be similarly affected. Maximum dynamic response would occur in a Torus bay if the snubbers for both adjacent ring girders were inoperable. Under such conditions, the affected Torus and attachment regions would be substantially degraded, relative to satisfying code allowable stresses, but still capable of withstanding the most probable design basis accident, intermediate break accident, and small break accident LOCA loads without loss of containment integrity. 2.3 Recommended Fluid Level Limits for Disk Spring Reservoirs 2.3.1 Applicability These limits are applicable during operating cycle 6 and later cycles of each unit when the reactor is in the operating, hot standby, or hot shutdown mode. 2.3.2 Limits (both must be satisfied) A. Maximum d = 1.595 - 0.01483 (100- T) B. Minimum d = 0.904 + 0.01561 (T- L) where: d Distance from end of indicator rod to face of reservoir at temperature T (inches). T Snubber temperature when d is measured (OF). L = Minimum snubber temperature for the time period of concern (OF).

Appendix D (Page 4 of 9) NOTES

1) The reservoir is full when d = 3.118 inches and it is 1/5 full when D = 0.904 inch.
2) L may be conservatively set at 50 OF. Less conservative values of L are also permissible if justified by in-plant temperature data. L may NOT be greater than T.
3) No maximum d limit is defined in consideration of the over pressure relief feature of the disc spring reservoirs.

2.3.3 Basis for limits These limits ensure a minimum spring rate of 6300 kips per inch for all anticipated snubber temperatures, including an upper limit of 100 OF. They are based upon approved BP test and design documentation for the TRS assemblies. An EN DES calculation CD-QOO10-890191 (CEB 840330 012) documents their deviation. 2.4 Recommended TRS Maintenance Policies for each BFN Unit 2.4.1 Operability of a leaking TRS A leaking TRS shall be declared inoperable if reservoir filling to maintain acceptable fluid levels is required at time intervals of 3 hours or less. A leaking TRS may be electively declared inoperable if another TRS or the drywell/wetwell differential pressure system is NOT already inoperable. The 3 hour time limit is based upon a 20 minute LOCA dynamic load duration with no reservoir filling during the event. Note that a TRS will NOT become inoperable due to air ingestion during operation as long as the fluid reservoir remains pressurized to levels ensured by the specified level limits. The restrictions on electively declaring inoperability are based upon minimizing the probability for maximum Torus response during postulated LOCA events. 2.4.2 Exceeding Fluid Reservoir Limits If a TRS reservoir fluid level is found outside the limits specified in this section at snubber temperature T and with L = T, the TRS shall be declared inoperable until the fluid level is restored to an acceptable value.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 77 of 166 Appendix D (Page 5 of 9) 2.4.3 Exceeding Temperature Limits If a TRS temperature is found outside the range from 50OF to 100°F, Site Engineering (Civil) shall be notified and an operability determination shall be made within 72 hours. This position is based upon the anticipated normal range of TRS fluid temperatures and the TRS design temperature range. Torus room ambient air temperatures outside this range would indicate a very unusual occurrence. Note that insignificant increases in TRS fluid temperatures are predicted during LOCA dynamic events. 2.4.4 Engineering Evaluations An engineering evaluation shall be performed for each instance in which a TRS is determined to be inoperable. Site Engineering (Civil) shall provide assistance upon request and shall be informed of the evaluation results. 2.4.5 Functionality Testing Functionality tests are NOT necessary on a routine basis or as a result of anticipated cases of TRS inoperability. It is possible, but NOT probable, that limited functionality tests may be required for extreme cases of inoperability. That determination must be made by the required engineering evaluations on a case-by case basis. This position is based upon the extensive qualification tests and functionality tests performed by BP. It is also based upon performing installation and maintenance in strict compliance with approved procedures. 2.5 References Concerning Operability of the Torus Restraint Snubbers A. H. J.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 82 of 166 Appendix E (Page 1 of 5) Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Hydraulic Snubbers 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The mode of operation of these hydraulic shock absorber rests on the fact that, except for a minimal friction, no resistance is offered to a slow movement of the connected components. Under undesirable, shock-type movements resulting from unplanned load conditions the shock absorber locks and forms momentarily an almost rigid connection. The dynamic forces occurring as a result are absorbed and conducted harmlessly into the structural connection. At the reduction of the pressure wave to almost 0, the locking terminates and a possible simultaneous temperature movement is no longer inhibited. During reversal of direction of movement caused by counter-oscillation or renewed impulse, the mode of operation takes place in the reverse direction. It can change infinitely within the frame of complex oscillation spectrums. The response reaction of these shock absorbers lies in a frequency band of 0.5-100 Hz. During slow movement of the piston (*5 4.72 in/min.), spring pressure keeps the valve open, allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow from one side of the piston to the other. During fast movement of the piston (Ž!4.72 in/mmn. approx.), fluid flow pressure on the valve plate closes the main valve. The flow of hydraulic fluid is stopped and the movement of the piston is restricted. The compressibility of the fluid has a softening effect on the restriction of the piston. As fluid is compressed by the piston, the movement is arrested elastically. As a result, damaging load spikes are avoided. As the load subsides, the pressure on the closed valve is reduced. When the force of the spring is greater than the compression force of the fluid, the valve opens. To eliminate any possibility of the valve remaining closed, it is fitted with a by-pass bleed system. This allows a very limited movement of the piston under load, and ensures quick equalization of pressure between the cylinder chambers when the load is removed.

Appendix E (Page 2 of 5) 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued) The position of the main piston within the cylinder car be instantly read by checking the concentric scale rings machined into the piston rod. The sturdy stainless steel shroud protecting the piston rod also duals as a position indicator. In order to maintain the functional performance of the snubber, sufficient hydraulic fluid must be maintained within the unit. The reservoir has a rod attached to the reservoir piston that protrudes from the reservoir. Markings to indicate the fluid level in the unit are scribed onto the rod. Inspection of this indicator eliminates the necessity for dismantling the snubber cylinder to determine the fluid level. 2.0 CONTROL VALVES The control valves are placed in the body of the shock absorber on opposite ends of the cylinder. They are aligned to the reservoir, and work directly with the volume compensator. In order to facilitate scheduled maintenance, the control valves can be removed while the snubber remains in place. Previously qualified and tested valves can be installed immediately and the snubber returned to service. The original valves can then be remotely tested using a surrogate snubber on a standard snubber test bench. 3.0 RESERVOIR In order to accommodate increased fluid volume compensation requirements, the reservoir cylinder is positioned parallel to the working cylinder to avoid disproportionate dimension and weights. The reservoir is sealed against the atmosphere by a spring-loaded piston. While sealing the reservoir, the piston also generates a small amount of pressure within the system. This positive pressure energizes the seals in the snubber, increases their effectiveness and prevents ingestion of air.

Appendix E (Page 3 of 5) 4.0 HYDRAULIC SNUBBER FLUIDS 4.1 General Requirements The fluid in the snubbers should be fire resistant, radiation resistant, have a flat viscosity curve, and be compatible with seal materials such as Viton. The silicon fluid used at BFN for these snubbers is Silicone AP 280 furnished by LISEGA. This fluid is expensive and should be reused when practical. The fluid should NOT get contaminated since it is used under pressure in these snubbers. Partially used containers should be closed with air tight cap to prevent moisture from entering the container.

1.0 DESCRIPTION

, DESIGN AND OPERATION OF MECHANICAL SNUBBERS 1.1 General Description Mechanical snubbers are manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company and are designated as PSA. Mechanical snubbers have dual failure modes in that they may either fail to activate or may "freeze" or lockup, becoming a rigid restraint. The PSA snubber is acceleration limiting, and is effective in a seismic event because the motion is cyclic in a frequency range of 3 to 33 Hertz. PSA snubbers operate on the principle of limiting acceleration values of any pipe movement to a threshold level of 0.02 g's (7.7 in/sec squared). This is the maximum acceleration that the snubber will permit, and a breaking force will be applied within the snubber of whatever magnitude is required to limit the acceleration to a value less than 0.02 g's. At the same time, thermal expansion, being a gradual movement, is NOT restricted. A particular feature of mechanical snubbers is that at no time does it lock and become a rigid strut. When sudden acceleration occurs and is sustained continuously in one direction, the snubber will apply necessary force to limit the pipe movement to its preset threshold value. The snubber's performance is independent of the amount of force being applied (provided the force is less than the rated load). BFN purchased all of its PSA snubbers through Bergen-Paterson, therefore, the Bergen-Paterson Part Numbering was primarily used which reflects the rating in KIPS of each snubber. Additionally, a majority of the PSA snubbers were purchased Safety-Related, NF. The PSA Part Numbers differ from the Bergen-Paterson because the snubbers were originally qualified Pre-NF, and given Part Numbers in accordance with that KIP rating. When the same components were re-qualified under NF, their KIP ratings increased but PSA never changed Part Numbers. Only a few PSA-10 snubbers were purchased as Pre-NF. These snubbers are located in all three units and are painted white to distinguish them from the NF snubbers. The Pre-NF snubbers are rated at 10 Kips while the NF snubbers are rated at 15 Kips. They are located on the Main Steam Relief Valve (MSRV) Tail Pipes. When the Pre-NF, 10 Kip, snubbers are replaced in Unit 2, they will be replaced with NF snubbers rated at 15 Kips, by changing the end plug and the rear attachment from the Pre-NF to the new NF snubber.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 88 of 166 Appendix F (Page 2 of 21) 1.2 Pacific Scientific Mechanical Snubber (PSA-1/4 AND PSA-1/2) Design and Operation Following is a description of the design and method of operation of the three versions of the PSA snubbers. Some details of the internal mechanism are different, depending on the capacity of the snubber, but the principle of operation is essentially the same. Figure 1 shows a cross section representing PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2 snubbers. Also, Figure 2 shows the part numbers of the snubbers. The snubber consists essentially of an inertia mass containing a clutch spring, a torque carrier and screw shaft assembly which also contains a capstan spring, a rod and bearing assembly, an inner tube, an anti-rotation key, a housing and a telescoping outer tube. The rod and bearing assembly consists of a spherical bearing, end plug, two connecting rods and a helical cam bearing. The helical cam bearing end of the rod and bearing assembly engages the screw shaft of the torque carrier and shaft assembly. The shaft mounts the inertia mass, inside which is installed the clutch spring. The tangs of the capstan spring installed in the torque carrier are positioned between the lips of the clutch spring installed in the inertia mass. In this manner, the torque carrier is coupled to the inertia mass. The housing is secured by a retaining ring to the flange on the end of the inner tube. The housing shields the internal parts of the arrestor and prevents contaminants from entering. The restricting function of the snubber is primarily accomplished by changing the relative linear motion, of the telescoping inner and outer tubes of the snubber, into rotary motion of the torque carrier and the inertia mass. Figure 1 shows the snubber almost fully retracted. As the snubber is extended, the outer cylinder attached to the spherical bearing end, slides over the inner cylinder which is attached to the housing. The nut is attached to the spherical bearing end by the two rods. As the nut moves with the spherical bearing and, it forces the shaft screw to turn which makes the torque carrier spin, since they have a press fit. The capstan spring rotates with the torque carrier, and the tangs of the capstan spring also drive the inertia mass through engagement with the up-turned ends of the clutch spring. Ifthe speed of the torque carrier is changed, the speed of the inertia mass must also change since they are connected by the tangs of the capstan spring.

Appendix F (Page 3 of 21) 1.2 Pacific Scientific Mechanical Snubber (PSA-1/4 AND PSA-1/2) Design and Operation (continued) If the speed change is made suddenly, the inertia mass, by tending to stay at its existing speed, will overcome the capstan spring resistance and close it down on the end of the inner cylinder which is stationary in the housing. The spring in contact with the inner cylinder acts as a brake and slows the change in speed of the torque carrier as it is driven by the nut moving, as the snubber is extended. The same type of action takes place as the snubber is retracted. By this action the snubber limits the rate of velocity change or acceleration. Vibrations cause rapid changes in direction and velocity which activate the snubber by causing the capstan spring to close down on the end of the inner cylinder.

Also, Figure 4 shows the part numbers of the snubbers. The snubbers consists of a support cylinder, an inertia mass containing a clutch spring, a torque transfer drum containing a capstan spring, an end plug assembly, a position indicator tube, and a housing. The support cylinder contains a telescoping cylinder, and anti-rotation key, and a ball bearing screw assembly. The telescoping cylinder and recirculating ball nut and screw assembly are the main design concept difference from the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2. The ball screw is supported by the traveling recirculating ball nut and by a ball bearing assembly near one end. The recirculating ball nut is staked to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the end plug assembly and the position indicator tube. The ball screw shaft extends through the thrust bearing fitted into the bore of the support cylinder. The ball screw shaft mounts through the torque drum and inertia mass and is keyed to the torque drum and the inner race of the thrust bearing. The inertia mass is free to rotate on the end of the ball screw shaft. The tangs of the capstan spring installed in the torque drum extend through a slot in the torque drum and are located between the up-turned ends of the clutch spring installed in the inertia mass. This couples the torque drum to the inertia mass. The housing is attached by a retaining ring to a flange at the capstan end of the support cylinder. The housing and a dust cover shield the internal parts of the arrestor and prevent contaminants from entering. The restraining function of the PSA-1, -3, and

     -10 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder, into rotary motion of the torque drum and the inertia mass. As the snubber is extended or retracted, the telescoping cylinder moves inside the support cylinder. The recirculating ball nut is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder. Therefore, as the recirculating ball nut is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque drum spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder. Ifthe speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing, the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake. The arresting action of the snubber is essentially the same as for the PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 100 of 166 Appendix F (Page 14 of 21) 3.1 Pacific Scientific Mechanical Snubber (PSA-35 AND PSA-100) Design and Operation Figure 5 is a cross section that represents the PSA-35, and PSA-100 snubbers. Also, Figure 6 shows the part numbers of the snubbers. The PSA-35 and PSA-100 snubbers are the largest capacity Pacific Scientific snubbers manufactured. Their external configuration is similar but distinctive from other PSC snubbers. In addition to being much larger, the outside diameter is essentially the same throughout its length. The snubber consists of a support cylinder assembly, torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly, an adapter nut or transition tube, an end cap assembly, and end cap nut, and a position indicator tube. A dust cover is installed in the adapter nut, or transition tube, to prevent contaminants from entering the arrestor internal mechanisms. The support cylinder assembly includes a support cylinder, a telescoping cylinder, a capstan spring, a recirculating ball assembly, ball bearings, a system of planetary gears, a ring gear and a housing. The recirculating ball assembly is attached to and travels with the telescoping cylinder, as do the externally mounted end cap assembly, end cap nut and indicator tube. The opposite end of the recirculating ball assembly is keyed to the inner race of the thrust bearing assembly which is coupled to the planetary gear system. The outer race of the ball bearing and the ring gear are fitted into the bore of the support cylinder housing. This arrangement translates rotation of the precision ball screw into rotation of the planetary gears. The capstan and an internally mounted ball bearing are installed in the support cylinder housing at the output side of the planetary gear system. The capstan is keyed to the housing and does NOT rotate. Installed in the support cylinder housing, but NOT part of the support cylinder assembly, are a torque carrier assembly, an inertia mass assembly and a capstan spring. The pinion gear of the torque carrier assembly engages the planetary gears. The hub of the torque carrier is supported by the internal bearing of the capstan. The capstan spring is internally contained in the torque carrier shell and rotates with the torque carrier. The hub of the inertia mass assembly is supported in a needle bearing installed in the torque carrier assembly. A clutch spring is installed in the bore of the inertia mass assembly. The lips of the clutch spring are centered on the slot in the inertia mass shell. The tangs of the capstan spring are centered between the lips of the clutch spring. In this manner, the torque carrier assembly is coupled to the inertia mass assembly.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 101 of 166 Appendix F (Page 15 of 21) 3.1 Pacific Scientific Mechanical Snubber (PSA-35 AND PSA-100) Design and Operation (continued) The operation of these larger size PSA's is generally the same as for the other sizes as described. The use of the planetary gear system permits the use of a reasonable size inertia mass because the gear system rotates the mass at a greater speed than the ball screw turns. The restraining function of the PSA-35 and -100 snubbers is accomplished by translating linear motion of the telescoping cylinder, within the support cylinder assembly, into rotary motion of the output gear train, the torque carrier assembly and the inertia mass assembly. As the snubber is extended or retracted, the telescoping cylinder moves inside the support cylinder. The recirculating ball assembly is fixed to the telescoping cylinder, and the telescoping cylinder is prevented from rotating by the anti-rotation key attached to the stationary support cylinder. Therefore, as the recirculating ball assembly is moved in or out with the telescoping cylinder, the ball screw is forced to rotate, and the torque carrier spins with it. The tangs of the capstan spring drive the inertia mass, and if the speed is changed gradually, the spring does NOT tighten down on the end of the support cylinder. If the speed changes suddenly, either slowing down or increasing the inertia mass displaces the tangs of the capstan spring and closes the spring down on the end of the support cylinder, acting as a brake. The arresting action of the snubber is essentially the same as for all the other PSA mechanical snubbers.

Ifthe plot does NOT show in the center of the graph the following parameters may be changed to center the plot and give the best looking plot available. Valve Open - This value is in percent of command output. If the operator wishes to start the valve sooner the percent value may be reduced, which will require the valve to open sooner causing the command ramp to "jump" up to an initial value and overcome the dead band.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 107 of 166 Appendix F (Page 21 of 21) 6.0 TEST PARAMETERS IN THE SNUBBER TEST MACHINE PROGRAM: (continued) Valve End - The valve end value allows the operator to set an endpoint for the proportional valve opening at less than 100 percent full open. If the operator wishes the profile to extend or reduce this value should be increased or decreased, as necessary. This value has to be controlled enough that the snubber will activate, prior to the end of the test. This value controls the ramp profile in the activation tests.

         "    Ramp Duration - This value sets the time duration of the ramp between valve start and valve end. This value may be decreased, which moves the plot to the left on the graph. In the acceleration tests this value is limited to.45 sec maximum.
  • Load Duration - This is the time that the valve will remain at the valve end position, after the ramp time has elapsed. Adjusting this value "up" will assure that the complete test will show on the graph.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 108 of 166 Appendix G (Page 1 of 14) Service Life Monitoring Recommendations Service life monitoring enables plant personnel to gain knowledge of the plant's operating environment and the associated capabilities of snubbers. Service life monitoring also helps to identify and control problem applications and establish practical scheduled maintenance intervals based on realistic expectations of snubber aging. Current practices call for periodic visual examinations and functional testing of both hydraulic and mechanical snubbers. Visual examination of 100% of all safety-related snubbers is performed on a standard inspection interval controlled by NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The inspection interval may be shortened or lengthened depending on the number of inoperable snubbers found. The examination plan assumes a constant frequency of occurrence of snubber failures and is intended to ensure that no more than one snubber is inoperable at a given time. A plant can either maintain a low snubber failure rate or inspect snubbers more frequently. Current practices also call for testing of a sample batch of snubbers during each operating cycle. Testing of an additional sample for each inoperable snubber is also normal practice. In contrast to the visual examination plan, the functional test plan is NOT time-related. It simply ensures a given snubber operability level at the time the testing is completed. As plant specific knowledge of snubber aging is gained through effective service life monitoring, it is anticipated that less emphasis will be placed on such statistical plans. Our Technical Requirements Manual does NOT require a specific service life monitoring program to be established. This is handled by our functional testing, visual examinations and other maintenance history for the snubbers. The ASME OM Code (Subsection ISTD) and NRC NUREG/CR-5870 give recommendations for establishing a service life monitoring program. Snubbers located in isolated severe environments should be separated from the general population and managed on a case-by-case basis. It may be desirable to group the general snubber population into two or more sub-populations with separate service lives. 1.0 PURPOSE Degradation due to service environment and maintenance errors can adversely affect snubber performance. This Appendix discusses methods and considerations that can be used to predict and reevaluate snubber service life to optimize snubber availability during plant operation. A service life monitoring program should be based on knowledge of the operating environment, snubber design limits and service record.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 109 of 166 Appendix G (Page 2 of 14) 2.0 PREDICTED SERVICE LIFE Before entering a snubber into service, its service life should be conservatively predicted, based on manufacturer recommendations and design review. Manufacturer recommendations may include seal and fluid replacement intervals for hydraulic snubbers and critical parts or snubber replacement intervals for mechanical snubbers. Such intervals may vary, depending on the application. Snubber design review should consider materials, design features and the plant operating environment. Evaluation of the effects of the environment on critical snubber parts such as seals, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, platings, etc., should be particularly emphasized. 3.0 SERVICE LIFE REEVALUATION Service life reevaluation should include the following considerations. 3.1 Knowledge, Determination and Documentation of the Operating Environment Service life monitoring takes into consideration the capability of the various snubber models to endure the full range of plant environments. Actual plant operating environments can differ significantly from the original plant design specifications. Some snubbers may be subjected to localized high temperatures that are NOT representative of the general snubber population. Such applications may require augmented inspections or more frequent snubber overhaul or replacement than originally predicted. Indicators of severe operating conditions can often be identified during snubber overhauls and other maintenance related activities. The operating environment for the majority of snubbers may be significantly less severe than described in the plant design specifications. Therefore, unnecessary overhauls or replacements may increase the number of failed or degraded snubbers due to handling or maintenance errors.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 110 of 166 Appendix G (Page 3 of 14) 3.1 Knowledge, Determination and Documentation of the Operating Environment (continued) It is important that the operating environment be identified and appropriate maintenance intervals established for the various snubber applications in the plant and appropriate applicable service life established. Environmental parameters may include the following:

  • temperature
  • vibration
  • transient loading
  • radiation
     "      humidity
     "      airborne contaminants (e.g., sand and dusts)
  • leakage of adjacent pipes or equipment Severe environments may be identified by plant operating data, direct measurement of environmental parameters, evaluation of installed location (e.g., proximity to high temperature components) or by examination of snubbers (or snubber parts).

Determining specific environmental information often involves specialized instrumentation and equipment that would be impractical for use at every snubber location. Such equipment should be used in applications where moderate to severe environments are anticipated or as a diagnostic aid in determining the cause of snubber degradation or failure.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 111 of 166 Appendix G (Page 4 of 14) 3.1.1 Direct Measurement of Environmental Parameters Various types of instrumentation and equipment are available for direct measurement of environmental parameters such as temperature, vibration, radiation and humidity. Such equipment may be used for specific snubber locations where severe environments are expected or as an aid in determining the cause of snubber degradation. A. Temperature Continuous temperature recording devices are available to indicate the general area temperatures within the plant (which often vary by elevation) or to measure local snubber or component temperatures. Temperature sensitive tape may be placed directly on the snubber to determine the maximum temperature. One shortcoming of this approach is that a time/temperature profile is NOT provided. Contact and non contact temperature devices (e.g., infrared type) are also available. B. Radiation Normal radiation levels of an operating plant do NOT usually contribute significantly to snubber degradation. This is probably due to the following considerations:

1. actual in-plant radiation levels are, in most cases, less than was originally anticipated
2. the snubber body provides a significant amount of shielding
3. originally anticipated radiation effects were based upon 40-year dose; in actuality, snubber parts that are sensitive to radiation degradation are replaced at intervals that are significantly less than 40 years.

Data pertaining to plant radiation levels can generally be obtained from Radiological Control area surveys. Measurements of radiation levels specifically for service life monitoring is NOT recommended except in evaluating the cause of snubber degradation in cases where other causes have been ruled out.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 112 of 166 Appendix G (Page 5 of 14) 3.1.1 Direct Measurement of Environmental Parameters (continued) C. Vibration Vibration may be continuous, in which case snubbers may degrade in as little time as one operating cycle. Vibration may also be intermittent (e.g., during pump startup), in which case it may be undetected for long periods and result in long-term degradation of the snubber. The available methods for detecting and measuring vibration vary from simple visual observation, detection by feel, portable vibration measuring instrumentation and remote vibration measuring equipment. Snubbers subject to vibration can often be detected by visual examination. Metal filings, darkened hydraulic fluid, deformed connecting pins, elongated attachment holes and fretting of mating parts are all signs of vibration effects. D. Transients As with vibration, the existence of dynamic load transients may be identified during routine snubber inspections, augmented inspections and failure evaluation. Deformed structural members, jammed snubbers and deformed internal parts are all potential indicators of dynamic overloading. Inplace devices such as load measuring clevis pins are available for monitoring snubber loads where such transients are suspected. 3.2 Knowledge of Operating Environment Effects Reevaluation of a snubber service life should include a thorough knowledge of the effects of various operating environments on snubber performance. Such knowledge may NOT be readily available from the manufacturer and may require engineering evaluation, including monitoring of trendable degradation parameters for snubbers removed from service. This might include periodic measurement of potentially trendable test parameters (e.g., drag force) for selected snubbers. Periodic disassembly and evaluation of snubber internal parts (e.g., seals, springs, fluid, etc.) may also be required. Degraded snubbers may be identified by visual examination of snubbers or their parts, by sampling of hydraulic fluid or evaluation of characteristics including time traces (e.g., load and velocity), obtained during testing.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 113 of 166 Appendix G (Page 6 of 14) 3.2.1 Managing Snubbers in Severe Operating Environments Significant environmental stressors that can effect snubber performance include overloading, vibration, elevated temperature, moisture, chemicals and radiation. Snubbers operating in severe environments can be identified as plant operation continues. Such applications are often NOT identified until the snubbers are functionally tested. This supports the need for some random functional testing, but the extent of functional testing required by the Technical Requirements Manual may NOT be necessary as plants gain empirical knowledge pertaining to the plant operating environments and the associated snubber capabilities. Snubber failures involving severe operating environments may be mitigated by conducting augmented inspections, periodic maintenance, periodic replacement with like kind, retrofitting with snubbers more suitable for the environment or eliminating the snubber by approved engineering analysis methods. 3.2.2 Augmented Surveillance Practices A number of practices may be used for evaluating snubbers for degradation and identifying operating environments. Since evaluation methods often do NOT employ quantifiable parameters, judgment is required on the part of the evaluating person. Experience of the evaluating person is therefore important. A. Hand Stroking Probably the most common "hands-on" evaluation method is hand stroking of mechanical snubbers. This method is often used to identify snubbers that are damaged or jammed due to transients. In using this method, the evaluating person removes the connecting pin at one end of the snubber and slowly strokes the snubber while feeling and listening for abnormalities such as intermittent or continuous excess noise or resistance. Using this method, an experienced person can often identify impending failure. An example, during hand stroking of a mechanical snubber, is periodic resistance accompanied by a chaffing sound for each revolution of the inertia mass. This indicates binding caused by lack of concentricity of the rotating parts. Irregular, intermittent noise and resistance indicates surface discontinuities on the lead screw.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 114 of 166 Appendix G (Page 7 of 14) 3.2.2 Augmented Surveillance Practices (continued) B. Rotation of Snubbers in Place Jammed snubbers (i.e., snubbers unable to allow free thermal motion) may often be identified by attempting to rotate the snubber about its spherical end attachment bearings. If the snubber is NOT free to rotate, it is possible that axial loading exists, resulting in jamming or premature lockup. It should be noted that this method is most effective for snubbers with a load capacity of 3,000 lbs. or less. Normal friction in the bearings often prevents rotation of larger sizes. C. Hand Detection of Vibration Hand detection of vibration, by placing a hand on the snubber during operation, is a useful technique for evaluating accessible snubbers. D. End of Outage Examination Just prior to startup, reinspection of snubbers that are susceptible to damage due to outage-related activities will reduce the probability of plant operation with inoperable snubbers. Future verification that consequent failures were NOT the result of service-related influences would be more difficult.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 115 of 166 Appendix G (Page 8 of 14) 3.2.3 Trending Progressive degradation, in the general snubber population (i.e., those snubbers NOT subject to rapid degradation), should be monitored by trending applicable degradation parameters for a selected number of snubbers that are representative of the plant operating environment. Some important considerations in this regard are listed below:

       "     The establishment of baseline data is essential for identifying trends. Data to be used for identifying trends should be sufficiently accurate to demonstrate trends.
  • Trending parameters that relate directly to the anticipated aging failure mode should be used. Such degradation parameters might include compression set for elastomeric seals for hydraulic snubbers or average drag force for mechanical snubbers.

An inappropriate monitoring parameter is the use of functional test data,(i.e., locking velocity and release rate) for monitoring or trending of seal degradation. Although functional test results can be affected to some extent by seal degradation, the primary aging failure mode for snubber seals (i.e., loss of low pressure seal integrity) would NOT be reflected in the functional test data.

  • Acceleration threshold (activation velocity) in acceleration-limiting mechanical snubbers is a potentially trendable parameter that may indicate internal snubber degradation. A decreasing acceleration threshold may indicate internal corrosion or internal friction between the inertia mass and its spindle.

An increasing acceleration threshold may indicate weakening of the capstan spring tangs as a result of wear or a decrease in friction between the capstan spring and its braking surface.

  • Although changes in active hydraulic snubber parameters [i.e., locking velocity and bleed(release) rate] can indicate snubber degradation, these parameters are NOT considered practical trending parameters for monitoring progressive degradation.
  • Reservoir fluid level is the most appropriate parameter for monitoring snubber fluid leakage.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 116 of 166 Appendix G (Page 9 of 14) 3.2.4 Testing The following functional test parameters are normally measured during inservice testing:

  • Activation Velocity: Locking velocity for poppet-valve hydraulic snubbers.

Acceleration threshold for acceleration-limiting mechanical snubbers.

  • Release Rate: Snubber velocity at a given load, after snubber activation.
  • Drag Force: Snubber resistance load at a given stroke velocity.
  • Breakaway Force: Force required to initiate snubber motion.

These parameters are also useful in identifying potential degradation or determining the cause of snubber failure. A. Evaluation of Test Results Since existing test plans are statistically based on the number of failures, test results are often evaluated on only a pass/fail basis. Most test machines provide a continuous trace of load and velocity for both activation and drag force tests. Such traces often contain information useful in identifying snubber degradation. During mechanical snubber drag force (i.e., the number of load spikes, consistency of the load spikes, duration of load spikes, noise, variations in drag force with stroke position and directional sensitivity) are all useful in identifying potential snubber degradation or impending snubber failure. For hydraulic snubbers, traces can be used to identify air in the snubber or a clogged bleed orifice. B. As-Found Testing As-Found testing of snubbers removed from service can identify degradation due to severe operating environments. A considerable amount of information can be obtained by conducting post-service functional tests on snubbers removed from service. Such tests are recommended any time a snubber is removed from service, regardless of whether or NOT the snubber is to be reinstalled. This is a requirement of the Technical Requirements Manual at BFN.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 117 of 166 Appendix G (Page 10 of 14) 3.2.4 Testing (continued) C. Diagnostic Testing Diagnostic tests are specifically designed to obtain useful information about the condition of a particular snubber, beyond what may be available from routine testing. Diagnostic testing may often be helpful in identifying a failure or degradation mechanism before the snubber is disassembled. Repeat tests are helpful in determining the repeatability of a given anomaly. It may sometimes be desirable to vary test parameters (i.e., applied load, drag force velocity or test time duration) in order to observe the effect on snubber performance. D. Trending Test Results Trending is a useful tool for monitoring progressive snubber degradation. If test data are to be used for trending, the following should be considered:

1. Because the prevalent failure mode is failure to allow free thermal motion, a potential trending parameter for mechanical snubbers is drag force. This is supported by test data obtained that suggest an increase in drag force with service time for mechanical snubbers.

It is important that test data to be used for trending are consistently obtained using the same type of test machine, under the same conditions. The data from the same snubber should be used for comparison purposes. Administrative limits for functional test results are intended to ensure replacement or repair of a given snubber before failure. It is important to have a reasonable indication that the selected test parameter is progressing toward the failure limit. Overly restrictive administrative limits can have the negative effect of limiting the amount of data available for trending. They can also encourage replacement of reliable snubbers. If test data are obtained for a different set of snubbers at each refueling outage, then the test results are NOT appropriate for trending. If snubbers are tested on different types of test machines, the test data are generally NOT adequate for identifying trends. Another important consideration involves defining the test parameter. A test parameter may be defined in different ways for the same parameter. A test parameter must be defined both from the standpoint of snubber operability (i.e., for testing) and for service-life monitoring (i.e., for trending).

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 118 of 166 Appendix G (Page 11 of 14) 3.2.4 Testing (continued) E. Test Equipment The types of snubber test equipment used in the industry varies considerably. Some provide only a single value for a given test parameter (i.e., load or velocity) while others provide a continuous trace of the parameter versus time. The operation of some test equipment is totally manual, while others are fully automated. It is recommended that functional test equipment be provided with a data acquisition system (i.e., analog or digital) that is capable of providing a continuous trace of load and velocity versus time for the duration of the test. Information from such traces is useful in detecting degradation and identifying failure mechanisms. Many test machines are totally automatic. Automatic test machines may be advantageous for required testing because operator bias is minimized. Data from automatic testers are generally acceptable for trending purposes. For diagnostic testing the test operator should be able to vary the level of various test parameters for exploratory purposes. It should be noted that when a snubber is tested in a different type of test machine than the one previously used, a number of new variables (i.e., test control methods and parameters, data acquisition systems, etc.) are introduced that may complicate the identification of trends. For this reason, trending tests are most effectively conducted using the same test machine as well as the same test methods.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 119 of 166 Appendix G (Page 12 of 14) 3.2.5 External Seal Leakage Detection and Leakage Rate Determination Minor seal leakage is common for many snubber types and applications. A number of influences can cause seal leakage. A leaking snubber does NOT necessarily imply inoperability nor does it necessarily require immediate snubber overhaul. Measurement and trending of reservoir fluid level is probably the most practical approach to monitoring for external seal leakage. For this reason, reservoir fluid level should be recorded whenever fluid is added. The location of seal leakage in many cases may be obvious by visual observation. In some cases the precise location of the seal leakage may require a time consuming follow-up evaluation. It should be noted that in many cases, seal leakage can be the result of improper snubber assembly, defective parts, etc. A practical method for checking for seal leakage following snubber overhaul is to place the snubber on an absorbent (paper) pad, where it can be observed for a period of time, approximately 1 hour, prior to installation. 3.2.6 Visual Examination Snubbers, at BFN, are visually examined in accordance with the Technical Requirements Manual. The intent of the examinations are to identify characteristics that might indicate snubber inoperability. Service-life monitoring examinations may be conducted at the same time as those required by the Technical Requirements Manual or separately. The qualification of personnel for such examinations is critical. Visual characteristics, that would provide information in regard to service degradation, are listed below. These snubber attributes may be used to define a visual examination checklist for service-life monitoring.

1. Deformed structural member or piston rod
2. Loose or missing threaded fasteners
3. Cold or hot position varies from specified value
4. Evidence of corrosion
5. Evidence of solid deposits (e.g., boric acid) from leaking components
6. Loss of hydraulic fluid since previous visual examination

Appendix G (Page 13 of 14) 3.2.6 Visual Examination (continued)

7. Metal filings on or in the vicinity of the snubber
8. Observed fluid leakage
9. Evidence of significant dark (i.e., black or dark brown) material deposit on piston rod
10. Rod wiper adhered to piston rod
11. Abnormal color of hydraulic fluid
12. Wear or deformation of clevis pins
13. Elongation of attachment holes
14. Evidence of wear on support cylinder
15. Cracked or deformed fluid reservoir
16. Evidence of foreign material (e.g., water, solid particles, etc.) in hydraulic fluid
17. Discoloration of metallic parts due to elevated temperature 3.2.7 Root-Cause Evaluation of Degraded or Failed Snubbers Failures often result from influences (i.e., maintenance activities, construction activities and manufacturing defects) NOT related to service time or environment. It is important to ensure that service life, when based upon service history, is NOT unjustifiably influenced by such failures or degradation. Snubbers that failed inservice examinations or tests, or snubbers removed from service due to excessive degradation, should be evaluated to determine the root cause of the degradation or failure.

Failure evaluation data sheets should include information pertaining to failure mode, failure mechanism, environment, service time, abnormal conditions, visual observations, test results and test observations. Data sheets should NOT utilize a format that might lead the examiner to a potentially incorrect failure cause (e.g., a checklist of failure causes). Diagnostic testing may be useful to identify the failure or degradation mechanism.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 121 of 166 Appendix G (Page 14 of 14) 3.2.8 Shortening or Extending Service Life It may be necessary to shorten the service life of snubbers subjected to severe environments, such as excessively high temperatures and vibration. Snubbers in severe environments may require augmented surveillance, including "hands-on" evaluations (e.g., hand stroking) or inplace monitoring. Where there has been minimal degradation due to the service environment, it may be appropriate to extend the previously established service life. Service life extension should be based on a technical evaluation of the snubber performance that includes knowledge pertaining to the current level of service-related degradation as well as to the degradation rate. Service life extension evaluations might include monitoring degradation parameters (i.e., seal compression set in hydraulic snubbers, drag force in mechanical snubbers or operating experience in a similar environment).

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 122 of 166 Appendix H (Page 1 of 11) Hydraulic Snubber Failure Analysis Approach, Failure Modes, Indications and Failure Cause 1.0 GENERAL In performing any snubber analysis a full investigation should be performed prior to making any determination of the failure cause. This should be done since there may be very subtle causes, which can be masked by NOT performing a slow and methodical investigation. All parts should be Match Marked prior to disassembly, since the disassembly of the snubber may destroy evidence of the true apparent cause of the snubber failure. In this approach a failure denotes a snubber NOT meeting its functional test acceptance criteria. The test data may show that the snubber is degraded or that it is a functional failure. If solvents are required during the performance of the investigation, only approved solvents should be used to clean the parts. 2.0 SNUBBER LOCATION HISTORY DATA [1] GIVE a general history of the snubber location using the following as a guideline:

  • Any previous functional test or visual examinations
              **   Snubber location in the plant
  • Snubber installed orientation
  • Does the snubber have a transition tube kit or a forward bracket installed? If a transition kit is installed what is the pin-to-pin dimension?
  • Which end of the snubber (transition tube/forward bracket or the snubber body) is attached to the pipe?

[2] REVIEW any and all previously performed snubber visual examination and functional test data. [3] PERFORM a field walk down of the snubber location to determine any adverse environmental conditions, such as:

  • Is the snubber in a location where it could be hit, kicked or stepped upon during maintenance activities?
  • Are there any signs of pipe leakage (water, steam, etc.) in the area?

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 123 of 166 Appendix H (Page 2 of 11) 2.0 SNUBBER LOCATION HISTORY DATA (continued) [4] REVIEW the piping system records to determine if any transient events have occurred in this section of piping. [5] REVIEW the piping stress analysis to determine the design loading conditions of this location, the pipe support orientations, locations and the relative stiffness of the piping system. Some examples are:

          "     Is this location designed to take water hammer loads or other transient loads and did one occur?
  • Is this location subject to pipe vibration?
  • Is this location required for seismic or is it only required for operational transient loads?

[6] REVIEW the piping stress analyses to determine if there are other snubbers subject to the same failure mode. An example is, if a snubber failure occurred on the "A" loop is there a similar location on the "B" loop? [7] CHECK the environmental data for the snubber location: Harsh or mild environment Temperature range Radiation dose

  • Humidity

Appendix H (Page 3 of 11) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS In almost every case, the evaluation performed on the exterior of the snubber can give clues to the nature of the failure. Following are some things which should be looked at and evaluated during the snubber evaluation. [1] RECORD the following data:

  • Snubber size
  • Snubber serial number
  • Year of manufacture
  • Manufacturer's part number
  • Evaluation date

[2] CHECK the condition of the spherical bearing on both ends of the snubber: NOTE A bound or "frozen" spherical bearing can put unanalyzed forces into the snubber during thermal movements, causing internal stress or damage.

  • Can they be moved by hand?
  • Do they "squeak" when they are moved?
  • Is there foreign material on the bearings?
  • Are they rusty?
  • Are the spherical bearings staked in place?
  • Any signs of deformation?

[3] Is there any physical damage to the snubbers' externals:

  • Ding marks on exterior surfaces 0 Welding arc marks on exterior surfaces

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 125 of 166 Appendix H (Page 4 of 11) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS (continued) [4] Are there any foreign materials on the exterior of the snubber? If so, would they interfere with the operation of the snubber?

  • Duct tape
  • Insulation materials Corrosion products Dirt or debris
  • Paint or other coatings

[5] CHECK the external surfaces of the snubber for any signs of discoloration due to excessive temperatures. [6] FULLY EXTEND the snubber, if possible, and DENOTE any wear or other types of marks found. The location and measurement (length, width and direction) of these marks and the actual snubber orientation during operation can be a vital clue as to what was happening to the snubber during operation. One important aspect is to determine exactly what the snubber settings were prior to the failure and what the snubber settings were at the time of the failure. Some utilities perform snubber measurements from a fixed point on the snubber. These measurements are recorded during the visual examinations, as well as, being documented in the Work Orders (WO) that remove the snubber from the piping system. These measurements are usually documented to the nearest 1/32nd of an inch. The importance of these measurements is that the evaluator can measure any wear marks found on the snubber and correlate the location and lengths of these wear marks to the actual snubber settings. This information can aid the evaluator in determining if these wear marks are due to the normal snubber movements (cold or hot setting) or due to vibration in either the hot or cold position. [7] CHECK the retainer ring at the housing to ensure that it was installed correctly (flat side down).

Appendix H (Page 5 of 11) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS (continued) [8] CHECK the connection of the transition tube kit or the forward bracket to the snubber.

  • Is the tie wire intact?
  • Has the transition tube loosened from the backing plate?

[9] SLOWLY STROKE the snubber by hand, if possible.

  • ORIENT the snubber, as best as possible, to the orientation that the snubber was in the field prior to stroking.
  • RECORD any rough spots and the location (stroke location).
  • RECORD any noises heard.
  • Did the snubber stroke under its own weight or was force needed to be applied to stroke the snubber? Was the applied force excessive?
  • Did the snubber "stick" at any point in the stroke?
  • Did any rough spots in the stroke correspond to any mark locations?

[10] MATCH MARK the transition tube kit or forward bracket to the snubber body and REMOVE the transition tube kit or forward bracket. Throughout the disassembly process, all parts should be checked for any signs of contamination, damage or wear.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 133 of 166 Appendix I (Page 1 of 21) Mechanical Snubber Failure Analysis Approach, Failure Modes, Indications and Failure Cause 1.0 GENERAL In performing any snubber analysis a full investigation should be performed prior to making any determination of the failure cause. This should be done since there may be very subtle causes, which can be masked by NOT performing a slow and methodical investigation. All parts should be Match Marked prior to disassembly, since the disassembly of the snubber may destroy evidence of the true cause of the snubber failure. In this approach a failure denotes a snubber NOT meeting its functional test acceptance criteria. The test data may show that the snubber is degraded or that it is a functional failure. If solvents are required during the performance of the investigation, only approved solvents should be used to clean the parts. 2.0 SNUBBER LOCATION HISTORY DATA: [1] GIVE a general history of the snubber location using the following as a guideline:

  • Any previous functional test or visual examinations
  • Snubber location in the plant
  • Snubber installed orientation
  • Does the snubber have a transition tube kit or a forward bracket installed? If a transition kit is installed what is the pin-to-pin dimension?
  • Which end of the snubber (transition tube/forward bracket or the snubber body) is attached to the pipe?

[2] REVIEW any and all previously performed snubber visual examination and functional test data. [3] PERFORM a field walk down of the snubber location to determine any adverse environmental conditions, such as:

  • Is the snubber in a location where it could be hit, kicked or stepped upon during maintenance activities?
  • Are there any signs of pipe leakage (water, steam, etc.) in the area?

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 134 of 166 Appendix I (Page 2 of 21) 2.0 SNUBBER LOCATION HISTORY DATA: (continued) [4] REVIEW the piping system records to determine if any transient events have occurred in this section of piping. [5] REVIEW the piping stress analysis to determine the design loading conditions of this location, the pipe support orientations, locations and the relative stiffness of the piping system. Some examples are:

          "     Is this location designed to take water hammer loads or other transient loads and did one occur?
  • Is this location subject to pipe vibration?
          "     Is this location required for seismic or is it only required for operational transient loads?

[6] REVIEW the piping stress analyses to determine if there are other snubbers subject to the same failure mode. An example is, if a snubber failure occurred on the "A" loop is there a similar location on the "B" loop? [7] CHECK the environmental data for the snubber location:

  • Harsh or mild environment
  • Temperature range
  • Radiation dose
  • Humidity

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 135 of 166 Appendix I (Page 3 of 21) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE PSA SNUBBERS: In almost every case, the evaluation performed on the exterior of the snubber can give clues to the nature of the failure. Following are some things which should be looked at and evaluated during the snubber evaluation. [1] RECORD the following data:

  • Snubber size
               *. Snubber serial number
  • Year of manufacture
  • Manufacturer's part number
  • Evaluation date

[2] CHECK the condition of the spherical bearing on both ends of the snubber: NOTE A bound or "frozen" spherical bearing can put unanalyzed forces into the snubber during thermal movements, causing internal stress or damage.

  • Can they be moved by hand?
  • Do they "squeak" when they are moved?
               *. Is there foreign material on the bearings?
  • Are they rusty?
  • Are the spherical bearings staked in place?
  • Any signs of deformation?

[3] Is there any physical damage to the snubbers':externals:

  • Ding marks on exterior surfaces
  • Welding arc marks on exterior surfaces

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 136 of 166 Appendix I (Page 4 of 21) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE PSA SNUBBERS: (continued) [4] Are there any foreign materials on the exterior of the snubber? If so, would they interfere with the operation of the snubber?

  • Duct tape
  • Insulation materials
  • Corrosion products
  • Dirt or debris
  • Paint or other coatings

[5] CHECK the external surfaces of the snubber for any signs of discoloration due to excessive temperatures. [6] FULLY EXTEND the snubber, if possible, and DENOTE any wear or other types of marks found. The location and measurement (length, width and direction) of these marks and the actual snubber orientation during operation can be a vital clue as to what was happening to the snubber during operation. One important aspect is to determine exactly what the snubber settings were prior to the failure and what the snubber settings were at the time of the failure. Some utilities perform snubber measurements from a fixed point on the snubber. These measurements are recorded during the visual examinations, as well as, being documented in the Work Orders (WO) that remove the snubber from the piping system. These measurements are usually documented to the nearest 1/32nd of an inch. The importance of these measurements is that the evaluator can measure any wear marks found on the snubber and correlate the location and lengths of these wear marks to the actual snubber settings. This information can aid the evaluator in determining if these wear marks are due to the normal snubber movements (cold or hot setting) or due to vibration in either the hot or cold position. [7] CHECK the retainer ring at the housing to ensure that it was installed correctly (flat side down).

Appendix I (Page 5 of 21) 3.0 EXTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE PSA SNUBBERS: (continued) [8] CHECK the connection of the transition tube kit or the forward bracket to the snubber.

  • Is the tie wire intact?
  • Has the transition tube loosened from the backing plate?

[9] SLOWLY STROKE the snubber by hand, if possible.

  • ORIENT the snubber, as best as possible, to the orientation that the snubber was in the field prior to stroking.
  • RECORD any rough spots and the location (stroke location).
  • RECORD any noises heard.
  • Did the snubber stroke under its own weight or was force needed to be applied to stroke the snubber? Was the applied force excessive?
         "    Did the snubber "stick" at any point in the stroke?
         "    Did any rough spots in the stroke correspond to any mark locations?

[10] MATCH MARK the transition tube kit or forward bracket to the snubber body and remove the transition tube kit or forward bracket. Throughout the disassembly process, all parts should be checked for any signs of contamination, damage or wear.

Appendix I (Page 6 of 21) 4.0 INTERNAL SNUBBER EVALUATION FOR ALL SIZE PSA SNUBBERS: 4.1 General [1] Contamination has most notably been caused by wear products due to internal friction between the parts. A very fine reddish brown colored substance found on the internal parts may be due to fretting corrosion due to a vibration concern. This reddish brown colored substance has the consistency of a fine dust and is usually found throughout the snubber during disassembly. This substance can contaminate the lubricant causing it to dry out or become sticky. [2] The following are areas of notable wear, all contacting surfaces should be examined thoroughly:

  • The inner tube rubbing against the outer tube on the PSA-1/4 and -1/2.

The position indicating tube and the support cylinder on the PSA-1, -3, and -10.

        "    The brass bearing of the rod and bearing assembly rubbing against the inside surface of the Inner Tube on the PSA-1/4 and -1/2.
        "    All faces and surfaces of the capstan spring and keeper rings on all size snubbers.
  • The rods of the rod and bearing assembly rubbing against the "ears" of the guide plate on PSA-1/4 and -1/2.
  • Telescoping cylinder against the support cylinder on PSA-1, -3 and -10.
  • Inertia mass rubbing against the housing on all sizes.

[3] Other forms of contamination (i.e., dirt, debris, broken parts and corrosion particles) have also been seen frequently during disassembly. The location, amount and form of contamination should be noted throughout the disassembly process. [4] During disassembly the lubricant should be checked in all accessible areas.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 139 of 166 Appendix I (Page 7 of 21) 4.1 General (continued) [5] It is suggested that "surgeons" gloves be worn during disassembly. Parts (i.e., the shaft of the torque carrier and shaft assembly) can be rolled on the gloves so the tracks of the lubricant can be seen.

           "      Is the lubricant moist?
           "      Is the lubricant dried out and/or contaminated?
  • Does the lubricant "track" when the part is rolled over something?
  • Check the color of the lubricant. Is it reddish brown? Is it reddish black?

Is it black?

  • Feel the lubricant. Does it still have its lubricating properties? Is it dried out? Does it feel gritty like it is contaminated?
           "      Is the amount of lubricant excessive?

[6] Prior to disassembling the PSA-1/4 and -1/2 snubber, hold the snubber in a horizontal position up next to your ear and shake the snubber back and forth. A slight "clicking" noise should be heard indicating the snubber internals have some "free play".

  • If no sound is heard, the snubber internals may be bound or the pivot bearing may NOT have been torqued properly (too tight).
           "      If excessive noise is heard, the pivot bearing may NOT have been torqued properly (too loose).

Appendix I (Page 8 of 21) 4.1 General (continued) [7] SLOWLY STROKE the snubber by pulling straight up on the end plug. With the snubber stroked fully in the tension direction, SLIDE the outer tube up to the end plug.

  • Does the outer tube align with the end plug? If NOT, are the rods of the rod and bearing assembly bent?
  • Are the rods of the rod and bearing assembly twisted?
  • Twisted rods are normally an indication of mishandling during installation.
  • Are the rods of the rod and bearing assembly bowed?

Rods that are "bowed" outward or inward are usually a sign of a compressive overload.

  • Does the outer tube slide easily over the inner tube?
  • The outer tube should slide easily over the inner tube with little to no resistance. If NOT, is there foreign material, corrosion or debris between the inner and outer tubes?

[8] Look at the internals of the snubber down through the inner tube. Is there any contamination or degradation?

         ,    Is the pivot bearing intact?
         "    PSA put a small dab of white paint on the jam nut of the pivot bearing to mark the fact that the jam nut was torqued. Excessive amounts of this white paint have been found in snubbers. Thiswhite paint has been found on the rods of the rod and bearing assembly. When this paint comes in contact with the guide plate it will cause the drag loads to increase up to the point of stalling the test bench.
  • Is the anti-rotation key intact?
  • Is the guide plate retaining ring intact?

[9] SLOWLY COMPRESS the snubber to its fully retracted position.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 141 of 166 Appendix I (Page 9 of 21) 4.2 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Housing and Insert Assembly Evaluation: [1] Removing the housing and insert assembly: [2] STAND the unit vertically on the housing and insert assembly and REMOVE the retaining ring holding the outer tube to the housing and insert assembly. [3] Keep a gentle pressure on the snubber and TURN the snubber upside down so the housing and insert assembly is pointing upwards. SLOWLY LIFT the housing and insert assembly from the snubber. Care should be taken NOT to lose the ball from the housing and insert assembly. The ball usually sticks in the insert assembly or to the end of the shaft. Did the ball stick to the end of the shaft or did it stick in the insert area of the housing and insert assembly?

  • INSPECT the lubricant on the ball.
  • CLEAN and INSPECT the ball. USE a magnifying glass.
  • INSPECT the inside of the housing and insert assembly.

Is there any lubricant in the insert area of the housing and insert assembly. CLEAN the housing and insert assembly and USE a magnifying glass to INSPECT the insert area for damage or contamination.

Appendix I (Page 10 of 21) 4.3 PSA-114 and -1/2 Snubber Inertia Mass Evaluation: [1] Prior to removing or touching the inertia mass PERFORM the following:

  • INSPECT the outsides for any contamination or damage. Ifthere are wear marks on the outside surface, CHECK the inside of the housing and insert assembly for a corresponding wear mark. Was the inertia mass hitting the inside of the housing?
  • CHECK the tip of the shaft to see if it is bent, nicked or "mushroomed".
         "    CHECK the washers. Are they shiny from wear? Are they bent?
         "    CHECK the lubricant at the hole area of the inertia mass. Is it contaminated?
  • CHECK that the capstan spring tangs are captured in the opened area of the clutch spring.
  • CHECK for deformed or damaged washers on the shaft.
  • Can the washers be easily removed?

[2] REMOVE and INSPECT the washers.

  • Damaged washers could be a sign of a snubber overload.

[3] REMOVE the inertia mass and PERFORM the following:

  • NOTE whether the inertia mass came off the shaft easily or if force had to be used to remove it from the shaft.
  • INSPECT the inside surfaces of the inertia mass.
  • NOTE any contamination or damage.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 143 of 166 Appendix I (Page 11 of 21) 4.4 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Clutch Spring Evaluation: [1] Prior to removing the clutch spring, INSPECT it to ensure that it was installed properly (fully seated in the inertia mass).

  • A disengaged clutch spring can cause the snubbers acceleration test to be unacceptable if one or both of the capstan spring tangs are NOT captured.

[2] REMOVE and INSPECT the clutch spring.

  • Are there any marks or indentations on the clutch spring where the capstan spring tangs had contacted it?
  • Are there any signs of contamination?

4.5 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Torque Carrier and Shaft Assembly Evaluation: [1] Before removing the torque carrier and shaft assembly, CHECK the lubricant on the tip of the compression side of the shaft.

  • SLOWLY REMOVE and then INSPECT the torque carrier and shaft assembly.
  • CHECK the lubricant on the shaft.
  • INSPECT the compression and tension side ends of the shaft.
  • The ends of the shaft of the torque carrier and shaft assembly are "cupped". It is very important to inspect these ends for wear or damage.

Use a magnifying glass. Damaged ends of the shaft could cause the shaft to bind in the insert area of the housing and insert assembly or in the pivot bearing. If the cupped ends are "mushroomed", the shaft may have been subjected to an overload.

           "    CHECK the run-outs on the shaft in three places: At the torque carrier, at mid span and at the tension side end.

Appendix I (Page 12 of 21) 4.6 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Capstan Spring Evaluation: [1] Prior to removing the capstan spring, mark it so you can tell which side was toward the tension side of the shaft. A "Sharpie" marker works good. DRAW an arrow on the capstan spring pointing to the tension side of the shaft. Wear on the capstan spring tangs and the faces of the capstan spring, that contact the keeper rings, can give evidence of a normal operating snubber or one that has been subjected to piping vibration. CHECK that the keeper rings are installed properly. Improper installation of the keeper rings could cause the capstan spring to be "cocked". This could lead to the capstan spring binding on the capstan area of the inner tube. This would lead to high drag loads during the functional test. REMOVE the outer keeper ring and REMOVE the capstan spring. ENSURE that you know what side of the keeper was contacting the capstan spring.

  • INSPECT the outside surface, the inside surface, the faces that contact the keeper rings and especially the "tang" areas of the capstan spring for wear or damage.
  • NOTE excessive wear on the capstan spring surfaces, especially at the "tang" areas. Wear in these areas may be an indication of a piping vibration concern.
          ,   Is the inside "running" surface of the capstan spring greasy or dry?

4.7 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Rod and Bearing Assembly Evaluation: [1] ROTATE the rod and bearing assembly to disengage the anti-rotation key and REMOVE the anti-rotation key. [2] REMOVE the retaining ring that holds the rod and bearing assembly to the inside of the inner tube and REMOVE the rod and bearing assembly. INSPECT the rod and bearing assembly for any signs of contamination or degradation.

         ,    TAKE run-outs on the rod and bearing assembly.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 145 of 166 Appendix I (Page 13 of 21) 4.8 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Inner and Outer Tube Evaluation: [1] INSPECT the internals of the inner tube and outer tube for any signs of contamination or degradation. 4.9 PSA-1/4 and -1/2 Snubber Pivot Bearing, Jam Nut and Lock Washer Evaluation: [1] REMOVE and INSPECT the pivot bearing, jam nut and lock washer. NOTE any areas of excessive wear, contamination or any damaged parts. 5.0 PSA-1, -3, -10, -35 AND -100 POSITION INDICATOR TUBE, FILISTER HEAD SCREWS AND FLAT WASHERS EVALUATION: [1] REMOVE the Filister head screws, flat washers and position indicator tube.

           "     CHECK the inside surface of the Indicator tube for contamination and wear markings and debris.
  • CHECK the Filister head screws for damaged threads.,

6.0 PSA-1, -3, -10, -35 AND -100 HOUSING EVALUATION: [1] Removing the housing from the snubber internals: [2] STAND unit up vertically on the housing and REMOVE the retaining ring holding the outer tube to the housing.

  • INSPECT the retaining ring.

[3] Keep gentle pressure on the housing while lifting the snubber with its internals from the housing.

  • INSPECT the inside of the, housing.
  • Is there any contamination or degradation? Look for internal rust, corrosion, loose debris and broken parts. Are there signs of wear due to the inertia mass contacting the housing?
  • CHECK the dust cover for signs of impingement. Indent marks on the center of the dust cover are a sign that the shaft impacted the dust cover.

This is a sign of overload.

SUMMARY

Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(i), (a)(3)(i) or (a)(3)(ii), TVA is requesting relief from the identified ASME Section Xl requirements related to examination and testing of snubbers. TVA proposes to continue use of the examination and testing plans currently defined in the Technical Requirements Manual (TR 3.7.4). The current Technical Requirements Manual requirements have been promulgated, accepted, and approved (on July 14, 1998, for Browns Ferry Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3) by NRC, while ASME Section XI imposes overlapping requirements which do NOT enhance the quality and safety of the-subject snubber examination and testing. COMPONENTS: Component/piping snubbers CODE CLASS: 1, 2 and 3 CODE REQUIREMENT: 1995 Edition of ASME Section XI Code, 1996 Addenda IWF-5300(a), (b), and (c) inservice examination and testing shall be performed in accordance with ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, using VT-3 visual examination method in IWA-2213. IWF-5400 Repair/Replacement activities performed on snubbers shall be in accordance with IWA-4000. Snubbers installed, corrected, or modified by repair/replacement activities shall be examined and tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of IWF-5200 prior to return to service. IWA-6230 requires inservice inspection summary reports for snubbers be filed with regulatory authority. IWA-21 10 requires Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspector (ANII) involvement for snubber examination and testing.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 155 of 166 Appendix J (Page 2 of 6) CODE REQUIREMENT FROM WHICH RELIEF IS REQUESTED: In accordance with 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(i), (a)(3)(i) or (a)(3)(ii) relief is requested from the ASME Section Xl, Code, 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda, Article IWF-5000 which provides, among other things, inservice inspection requirements, repair/replacement activities performed on snubbers, and the ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4 for examinations and tests performed on snubbers: IWF-5300(a), (b), and (c) Inservice Examinations and Tests, ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, using VT-3 visual exam method describe in IWA-2213. IWF-5400 Repairs/Replacements of snubbers shall be in accordance with IWA-4000. Repaired or Replacement snubbers examined and tested in accordance with the requirements of IWF-5200 prior to return to service. IWA-6230, Summary Report Preparation (for snubbers). IWA-2110(a)(5) and (c), Duties of the Inspector (involvement on snubber Examination and Inspection). BASIS FOR RELIEF: ASME Section XI Code, Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are examined and tested in accordance with Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), TR 3.7.4. BFN TR 3.7.4 is prepared in accordance with the guidance given by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions and includes a numerically greater population of snubbers than the Section XI program. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section XI and the plant TRM would result in duplication of effort utilizing different standards and require the preparation of a separate program and associated procedures. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. In addition the personnel performing snubber visual examinations would also be required to be certified in accordance with the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A "Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing", which is an additional certification as compared to the task training qualification required to perform the TRM required examinations and testing of snubbers. The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers was promulgated, accepted, and approved by NRC. The implementation of ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, would require BFN to initiate a snubber examination and testing program that is more complicated and expensive to perform, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 156 of 166 Appendix J (Page 3 of 6) ALTERNATE EXAMINATIONS: The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the examination and testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and repair/replacement activities. The procedures utilized for these examinations are: 2-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, "Functional Testing of Mechanical Snubbers"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic Snubbers"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, "Functional Testing of Grinnell Hydraulic Snubbers"; 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, "Functional Testing of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers"; MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson Unit Disassembly and Reassembly"; and MPI-0-000-SNB004, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers". This will include the pin-to-pin area inclusive of applicable snubbers. Testing of repaired and replaced snubbers will also be performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4. Visual examination of repaired and replaced snubbers will be performed in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNB004, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson Hydraulic, Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints Snubbers". Snubber examination and testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, SSP-3.1, and the implementing procedures (2-SI-4.6.H-1, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, and MPI-0-000-SNBO04). The areas inclusive of the pins back to building structure and to the component/piping being supported will remain in the ASME Section XI examination boundary.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 157 of 166 Appendix J (Page 4 of 6) JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: The current program, as defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by ASME Section XI Code, 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda and requirements defined in ASME/ANSI 0 & M, Part 4, and utilizes NRC guidance not incorporated in the 0 & M Code referenced by the 1995 Edition. IWF-5300(a) covers the snubber visual inspection requirements and IWF-5300(b) covers the snubber functional test requirements. Examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is currently performed in accordance with TR 3.7.4, which utilizes the guidance provided by NRC in Generic Letter 90-09. The 0 & M Code referenced by ASME Section XI has a different basis for examination (failure mode groups) and test plans (10%, 37, or 55). It is impractical to implement both plans because of the resulting duplication of examination and testing efforts and different requirements for snubber quantities subject to examination or test, actually examined and/or tested, and sample expansion requirements. This would result in additional cost and unnecessary radiological exposure. The existing TRM program for examination and testing of snubbers has been promulgated and accepted by NRC. The differences in the two programs could create confusion when selecting test samples, applying acceptance criteria, corrective actions and examination schedules for failed snubbers. This situation could increase the possibility of applying the wrong action, thus creating a nonconformance, an in-operability or even a violation of a TRM requirement. To eliminate any misinterpretation or confusion in administering overlapping requirements for snubbers, and to remove the possibility of applying contradicting requirements to the same snubber(s), BFN proposes to examine and test snubbers in accordance with BFN TR 3.7.4. Sub-article IWF-5400 provides the requirements for repair/replacement activities performed on snubbers to be in accordance with IWA-4000. Snubbers installed, corrected, or modified by repair/replacement activities examined and tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of IWF-5200 prior to return to service. TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers and snubbers with repairs which might affect the functional test results be tested to meet the functional test criteria prior to installation. Maintenance procedure MPI-0-000-SNB004 provides pre-service inspection procedure for ASME Section XI repair/replacement and for removal/installation of snubbers at BFN.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 158 of 166 Appendix J (Page 5 of 6) JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: (Continued) ASME Section X1, VT-3 certification required for personnel performing snubber visual examinations is an additional certification as compared with the TRM program training qualifications. Personnel performing the TRM required visual examinations are "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing required by the TRM and implemented by the referenced procedures. This training currently includes a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the acceptance criteria associated with procedure MPI-0-000-SNBO04. Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section X1. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria, specified in the TRM implementing procedures, provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Since relief is sought from the ASME Section XI snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section XI snubber examination and test activities to require ANII involvement. The BFN TRM snubber program does not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements. The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements. A snubber program manager provides oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both visual and functional testing. This oversight includes both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager provides an acceptable level of quality and safety without ANII involvement in those activities. ANII involvement in other inservice repair and replacement snubber activities, as required by IWA-2110(g) and (h) and implemented by BFN's ASME Section Xl repair and replacement program will be maintained. ASME Xl, 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda, Sub-article IWA-6230 provides the requirements in the preparation of summary report documenting the preservice and inservice inspections, and ASME OMa Code, Part 4, Sections 2.2 and 3.3 provides necessary documentation to verify the results of preservice and inservice examination and testing programs for snubbers. Under the alternate requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section XI preservice and inservice examination and testing to document in a summary report. TR 3.7.4 is implemented by surveillance instructions 3-SI-4.6.H-1, 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, and maintenance instruction MPI-0-000-SNBOO4. These instructions are written and approved in accordance with the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program, include data sheets for documenting the visual examination, functional test data, and results, and provides documentation and evaluation of non conforming results. The completed data sheets are QA records and are controlled and maintained in accordance with the BFN QA records program. These records are available onsite for review and inspection. The QA records documenting snubber visual examinations and functional tests results provides an acceptable level of quality and safety when compared to the requirements of ASME Section XI and ASME OM Code-1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda, Part 4.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 159 of 166 Appendix J (Page 6 of 6) JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: (Continued) Based on the justification provided, BFN's examination and testing of snubbers, in accordance with TR 3.7.4 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(i), (a)(3)(i) or (a)(3)(ii), TVA requests that relief be granted from the 1995 Edition of ASME Section XI Code requirements related to inservice examination and testing for snubbers. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: TR 3.7.4 will be implemented during the third ten-year ASME Section Xl inspection interval for snubber examination and testing in lieu of the code requirements listed above.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 160 of 166 Appendix K (Page 1 of 5) Snubber Request for Relief 1-ISI-18 This relief request was approved by the NRC per Reference 0 and will be implemented during the Unit 1 Cycle 7 refueling outage.

SUMMARY

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a (a) (3) (i), TVA is requesting relief from the ASME Section XI Code requirements related to selection, examination, and testing of snubbers. TVA proposes to use the selection, examination, and testing plans currently contained in the BFN Unit 1 Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, which are based on the guidance contained in Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Generic Letter 90-09. ASME Section XI imposes overlapping requirements that do not enhance the quality or safety of the snubber examination and testing program. COMPONENTS: Snubbers on Class 1, 2, and 3 (equivalent) piping and components CODE CLASS: 1, 2, and 3 (equivalent) CODE REQUIREMENT: 1995 Edition of ASME Section XI Code, 1996 Addenda CODE REQUIREMENT FROM WHICH RELIEF IS REQUESTED: IWF-5300(a) and (b), Inservice Examinations and Tests and referenced ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988). IWF-5400, Repair/Replacement Activities and referenced ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1 988). IWA-6230, Summary Report Preparation, for snubbers. IWF-21 10(a) (5) and (c), Duties of the Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspector (ANII), for snubbers.

Appendix K (Page 2 of 5) BASIS FOR RELIEF: ASME Section X1, Class 1, 2, and 3 equivalent snubbers are required to be selected, examined, and tested in accordance with BFN Plant Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), Technical Requirement (TR) 3.7.4. The TRM was developed based on the guidance contained in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The Generic Letter 90-09 methodology for selection of snubbers for inspection and testing was developed to maintain a high confidence level that snubbers are capable of fulfilling their function, while minimizing radiological exposure associated with these activities. The scope for snubbers examined and tested in accordance with TR 3.7.4 is not limited by line size or other applicable code exemptions. Personnel performing examinations and testing under the TRM program are task-qualified to demonstrate the capability to perform the tasks. Under the ASME Section Xl program, inspection personnel would require qualification to ANSI/ASNT CP-189 "ASNT Standard for Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel." This places an additional qualification and certification burden that is not needed to ensure the quality of snubber examinations and testing. Examination and testing of the snubbers in accordance with both ASME Section XI and the plant TRM would require maintaining two programs with different standards for selection, examination and testing of snubbers. This duplication of an existing NRC-accepted program imposes unnecessary costs and administrative burden, and would result in unnecessary additional radiological exposure without a compensating increase in safety. ALTERNATE EXAMINATIONS: The BFN TRM, TR 3.7.4, requirements will be utilized for the selection, visual examination and functional testing of snubbers for preservice, inservice, and for repair/replacement activities. The procedures utilized for these examinations are maintained by TVA per the requirements of the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program. Visual examination and testing of snubbers is performed in accordance with the following procedures: 1-SI-4.6.H-1, "Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, "Functional Testing of Mechanical Snubbers", 0-Sl-4.6.H-2B, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek Hydraulic Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, "Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson Torus Dynamic Restraints", 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, "Functional Testing of Grinnell Hydraulic Snubbers", 0-SI-4.6.H-2E, "Functional Testing of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers",

Appendix K (Page 3 of 5) MPI-0-000-SNBOO1, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Grinnell Unit Disassembly and Reassembly", MPI-0-000-SNBOO2, "Hydraulic Shock and Sway Arrestor Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling and Fronek Unit Disassembly and Reassembly", and MPI-0-000-SNBOO4, "Instructions for Removing and Reinstalling Pacific Scientific Mechanical, Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, Fronek and Grinnell Hydraulic, and Bergen-Paterson or Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers". The TRM requirements are applicable to the pin-to-pin portion, inclusive, of applicable snubbers. Snubber examination testing data will be maintained in accordance with the requirements of TR 3.7.4, the site corrective action program, and the implementing procedures. The structural portions of the component supports, other than the snubbers, inclusive of the pin back to the building structure and also to the component/piping being supported, will remain in the ASME Section Xl examination boundary (ISI Program). JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRANTING OF RELIEF: The BFN Unit 1 TRM snubber inspection and testing program, defined by TR 3.7.4, provides for a level of quality and safety equal to or greater than that provided by 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI and ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988) and requirements. For BFN Unit 1, selection, examination, testing, repair and replacement of snubbers is required to be performed in accordance with both ASME'Section XI and TR 3.7.4, which is based on the guidance contained in NRC Generic Letter 90-09. The Generic Letter 90-09 methodology for selection of snubbers for inspection and testing was developed to maintain a high confidence level that snubbers are capable of fulfilling their function, while minimizing radiological exposure associated with these activities. Because ASME Section XI has a different basis for developing examination and testing plans, it is impractical to implement the requirements of both programs. Implementing both programs would require employing different criteria for identifying the total snubber inspection and testing populations, for identifying the test groups and intervals, and for determining inspection and test sample expansion when required. These contradictory requirements would result in additional cost, unnecessary program implementation complexity, and unnecessary radiological exposure. Therefore, TVA proposes that the BFN Unit 1 snubber examination and testing program be based on the requirements contained in the BFN TR 3.7.4.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 163 of 166 Appendix K (Page 4 of 5) The 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section XI, Subarticle IWF-1 220 requires that inservice inspection of snubbers be performed in accordance with IWF-5000. IWF-5200 requires that examinations be performed in accordance with ASME/ANSI OM Part 4 (1987 with OMa-1988). IWF-5400 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of ASME Section Xl requires snubber repair and replacement to be performed in accordance with IWA-4000. The BFN TRM program, defined in TR 3.7.4 (TSR 3.7.4.6) requires replacement snubbers, and snubbers that have repairs which might affect the functional test results, to be tested to meet the functional test acceptance criteria prior to installation. Accordingly, the intent of IWA-4000 is already met under the BFN Unit 1 TRM program. Futher, BFN Maintenance Procedure MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 provides visual examination criteria following installation of a snubber after repair or replacement. To meet the requirements, personnel performing snubber visual inspections must be certified in accordance with ASME Section XI VT-3 requirements. Under the TRM program, personnel are required to be "process qualified" to perform the examinations and testing. This training requires a visual test associated with face mask fit and specific training on the requirements and maintenance procedure acceptance criteria. Additional "visual acuity" verification for personnel performing snubber visual examinations will include visual acuity requirements that meet ASME Section XI. The training and documentation of personnel to the visual acceptance criteria specified in the TRM implementing procedures will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Because relief is sought from the ASME Section XI snubber examination and test requirements, there will be no ASME Section XI snubber examination and test activities that will require ANII involvement. The BFN TRM snubber program will not require the use of an ANII for examination and test requirements. The ANII will not be involved in the TRM required Visual examination or testing activities performed in lieu of the ASME Code requirements. A snubber program engineer will provide the oversight of the TRM snubber program implementation for both the visualexamination and functional testing. This oversight will include both review and evaluation of visual examination and functional testing data to ensure TRM requirements are met. The snubber program manager will provide the oversight that will ensure an acceptable level of quality and safety exist without ANII involvement in these activities. ANII involvement will be maintained in inservice repair and replacement snubber activities, as required by IWA-21 10(g) and (h) and implemented by BFN's ASME Section XI Repair and Replacement Program. ASME Section XI Subarticle IWA-6230 provides requirements for ISI and testing documentation for snubbers in the framework of a summary report. Under the alternate requirements for snubbers, there will be no ASME Section XI ISI to document in a summary report.

BFN Snubber Program Procedure 0-TI-398 Unit 0 Rev. 0005 Page 164 of 166 Appendix K (Page 5 of 5) TR 3.7.4 will be implemented per surveillance instructions and maintenance instructions written and approved in accordance with the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Program. These procedures include data sheets for documenting the visual examination and functional test data and results, and provide for documentation of nonconforming results and evaluation of those results. The completed data sheets will be QA records controlled and maintained in accordance with the BFN QA records program. These records will be available onsite for review and inspection. The examination and testing of snubbers under the BFN Unit 1 TRM program provides and acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a (a) (3) (i), TVA requests that relief be granted from the ASME Section XI requirements related to IS[ and testing of snubbers. TVA's request for relief 1-ISI-18 is consistent with request for relief 3-ISI-2 submitted by TVA letters dated January 22, 1997, as supplemented by TVA letter dated October 29, 1998, for the BFN Unit 3 Second Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The NRC staff approved the request for relief by letter dated May 3, 1999. TVA's relief for Unit 1 is also consistent with request for relief 2-ISI-1 3 submitted by TVA letter dated October 25, 2002, for the BFN Unit 2 Third Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The NRC staff approved the request for relief by letter dated January 7, 2003. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: This request for relief is applicable to the remainder of the First Ten-Year Inservice (ISI) Interval for BFN Unit 1, which extends until one year following restart of the unit.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the visual examination of hydraulic and mechanical snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety-related systems, inside and outside of the drywell. 1.2 Scope For the purposes of this instruction, all snubbers are combined as one population. The snubbers are listed in Appendix A by the manufacturer and sizes which are required for the functional testing requirements. As used in this instruction, "type of snubber" shall mean snubbers of the same design and manufacturer, irrespective of capacity. The portions of Technical Requirements 3.7.4 pertaining to the functional testing of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B, and O-SI-4.6.H-2E. This Surveillance Instruction (SI) includes provision for the as-found functional testing to establish operability of snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of the visual examination.

BFN Visual Examination of Hydraulic and 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Unit I Mechanical Snubbers Rev. 0017 Page 6 of 37 6.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Responses which fail to meet the following visual examination acceptance criteria require immediate notification of the Snubber Engineer or his designee. Ifthe snubber is determined to be inoperable, immediately notify the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor. A. Visual examinations shall verify:

1. The snubber has no visible indications of damage or impaired operability.
2. Attachments to the foundation or supporting structure are functional.
3. Fasteners for the attachment of the snubber to the component or system and to the snubber anchorage are functional. The discovery of loose or missing attachment fasteners will be evaluated to determine whether the cause may be localized or generic. Otherwise complete Attachment 5.
4. The snubber has the proper orientation, correct location and adequate fluid level, if applicable.

BFN Visual Examination of Hydraulic and 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Unit I Mechanical Snubbers Rev. 0017 Page 7 of 37 7.0 PROCEDURE STEPS 7.1 Training and Qualifications of Performers 7.1.1 Visual Examinations A. A thorough briefing should be conducted on SI performance prior to starting. B. The performer or cognizant individual responsible for the performance of the Surveillance Instruction must be task qualified. C. Appropriate General Employee Training (GET) (including respirator training) should be received by the examining personnel prior to performing this SI. D. The training for the visual examinations should include orientation to the requirements of this Surveillance Instruction and will be performed under task number MMY 501, as required. E. Personnel performing this visual examination must meet the visual acuity requirements of ASME Section XI, 2001 Edition, 2003 Addenda, Paragraph IWA-2321. F. Documentation shall be maintained by the Snubber Engineer for the Visual Acuity Examinations. 7.2 General Information A. Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual examination shall be classified unacceptable and may be reclassified as acceptable for the purpose of establishing the next visual examination 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 generically susceptible, AND
2. The affected snubber is functionally tested in the As-Found condition and determined OPERABLE per the As-Found functional test acceptance criteria for that snubber.

A review and evaluation shall be performed and documented in Attachment 5, 6, or 7 as applicable, to justify continued operation with an unacceptable snubber. If continued operation cannot be justified, the snubber shall be declared inoperable and the LIMITING CONDITIONS OF OPERATION (LCO) for the system shall be met.

BFN Visual Examination of Hydraulic and 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Unit 1 Mechanical Snubbers Rev. 0017 Page 8 of 37 7.2 General Information (continued) B. Snubbers attached to sections of safety-related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients since the last examination period shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable, to confirm OPERABILITY. C. Snubbers which have been made inoperable as the result of an unexpected transient, isolated damage, or other random events, when the provisions of TSR 3.7.4.5 and 3.7.4.6 have been met and any other appropriate corrective action implemented, shall NOT be counted in determining the next visual examination interval. D. A Surveillance Instruction Review Form, Attachment 1, shall be completed and submitted with the data package for each complete or partial performance of this SI. E. All visual examinations shall be performed and documented on Attachments 2, 3, and 4, as applicable prior to removal of each snubber for the As-Found functional testing. The Attachments shall be submitted with the data package. F. Evaluation sheets Attachments 5, 6, and 7 shall be prepared and submitted with the data package, as appropriate, by the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee for each degraded/ inoperable snubber identified by performance of this instruction. G. The snubbers are assigned a UNID number in an appropriate tracking program, which provides current and historical information for a specific snubber/support location. H. The snubbers are listed in Appendix A by exam number. I. A unique snubber/support number is given to each snubber location on a system.

BFN Visual Examination of Hydraulic and 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Unit I Mechanical Snubbers Rev. 0017 Page 9 of 37 7.3 Examination Instructions, Acceptance Criteria and Data Entry 7.3.1 Package Preparation and Evaluation NOTES

1) The operability of the snubber is determined based on the examinations performed and further evaluations which may include a functional test. If it is determined that the snubber does not meet the visual examination acceptance criteria, immediately notify the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee.
2) If further evaluations, which may include a functional test, are acceptable, the snubber is operable.
3) The snubber is NOT counted as inoperable, and the examination interval is NOT shortened, if the snubber is proven operable by the functional test.

[1] If any snubber is determined to be inoperable, Site Engineering Civil should INITIATE a Problem Evaluation Report (PER). MMG Planning should write a minor maintenance Work Order (WO) to perform the necessary repairs required to return the inoperable snubber to operable status. [2] At the discretion of the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee, FUNCTIONALLY TEST snubbers indicated to be inoperable by visual examination to establish operability if the unacceptable indication relates to the internal functioning of the snubber. This shall be documented on Attachment 6 or 7, as appropriate. [3] Functional tests shall be performed in accordance with O-SI-4.6.H-2A, -2B, or

                 -2E.

[4] NOTIFY Site Engineering Civil to perform an engineering evaluation for any inoperable snubber. [5] An "AC", "UNAC", or "N/A" entry must be provided in the appropriate space, on Attachments 2, 3, or 4, as appropriate, for each snubber scheduled for examination that the SI is fulfilling. [6] VERIFY Attachment 1, 2, 3, 4, and other appropriate Attachments, have been reviewed by the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee from Site Engineering Civil, prior to closure of this Surveillance Instruction.

BFN Visual Examination of Hydraulic and 1-SI-4.6.H-1 Unit 1 Mechanical Snubbers Rev. 0017 Page 10 of 37 7.3.2 Data Sheet Review [1] VERIFY any Work Orders have been satisfactorily completed and PERs have had the corrective actions completed or closed. [2] VERIFY that all applicable Attachments are complete for the snubber being visually examined. [3] VERIFY failure analysis of inoperable snubber(s) has been completed, as required. [4] VERIFY the Site Engineering Civil evaluation for the supported system/component analysis, from the appropriate functional test procedure for inoperable snubber(s), has been completed and is acceptable. [5] VERIFY that the evaluation of loose or missing attachment fasteners has been completed, if required.

No functional testing of the Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubber is required due to this refilling operation. The Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint Snubbers are NOT considered inoperable until the reservoir is completely empty. This can be identified when the reservoir plunger is flush with the top of the reservoir plate. The snubber will be considered inoperabe when 1te "L" dimension is equal to "0".

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing of mechanical snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety related systems, inside and outside of the drywell. 1.2 Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are accessible during reactor operation (outside the drywell) and inaccessible during reactor operation (inside the drywell). The Pacific Scientific Company (PSC) mechanical snubbers belong to Subgroups 3a, 3b, 4, and 6. The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to the visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1. This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers addressed as PSA-1/4,

   -1/2, -1, etc. for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:
  • Removal and reinstallation of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2 and 5.
  • Provides the requirements for functional testing of Pacific Scientific mechanical snubbers. This instruction covers subgroups 3a, 3b, 4 and 6 (see Appendix A for snubber subgroup information). To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, other Surveillance Instructions, O-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2C, O-SI-4.6.H-2D, and O-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.
  • Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction.
   "     This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of mechanical snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.
  • All PSA-1/4 snubbers (inside the drywell) should be stroke tested during each refueling outage, as close to the end of the outage as possible.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 6 of 36 1.3 Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers. B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell (preferably no earlier than 60 days prior to the start of the outage), but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell. C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode. D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel. E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable. F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system. G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM. The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be documented on Attachment 4. H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 7 of 36 1.3 Frequency/Conditions (continued)

1. Snubbers removed for maintenance or determined to be inoperable on a non-operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced, in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and tested in accordance with this instruction, prior to declaring the system operable.

J. For all subgroups, when subsequent testing is required, it shall continue within the respective subgroup until no failure is found. K. New, replaced or rebuilt snubber(s) shall meet the functional test acceptance criteria before their installation in the unit and must have been functionally tested "Satisfactory", within 12 months prior to their installation.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 8 of 36 4.0 PREREQUISITES A. Six months prior to each refueling outage, the supply of mechanical snubbers in Power Stores and the Snubber Rebuild Facility shall be reviewed. A number of snubbers equal to the 10% sample population for the Subgroup selected for functional testing during the upcoming refueling outage shall be identified and available for installation. The snubbers shall have the proper paperwork with them to comply with the requirements of the Section XI Repair and Replacement Program. This paperwork should include the purchase contract and Certificate of Compliance for any material requiring traceability. 5.0 SPECIAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED None 6.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA A. Responses which fail to meet the following As-Found functional test acceptance criteria require immediate notification of the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor at the time of failure. B. The snubber functional test shall verify that:

1. "As-Found"
a. Activation (restraining action) occurs, in both tension and compression. Snubbers with activation values less than or equal to 0.02 g's are acceptable. The measured value shall be rounded to the second decimal place. Activation values greater than 0.02 g's shall be considered as a failure (inoperable snubber), require a failure analysis, and be evaluated for additional scope or expansion testing.
b. The drag force shall not exceed the maximum acceptable drag force from Table 6.2-1.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 9 of 36 6.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (continued)

2. "As-Left"
a. Activation (restraining action) occurs, in both tension and compression. Snubbers with activation values less than or equal to O.02g's are acceptable. The measured value shall be rounded to the second decimal place.
b. The drag force shall not exceed 3% of the snubber rated load, except for PSA 1/4 the drag force shall not exceed 32.5 lbs.

C. The stroke setting, adjusted for pipe temperature other than ambient if necessary, shall be within the limits shown on the design drawing. Otherwise, complete Attachment 6. D. There shall be no loose or missing fasteners for attachment of the As-Found mechanical snubber(s) to the component or the anchorage. Otherwise, complete Attachment 6. E. NOT meeting acceptance criteria for the stroke setting, or loose or missing fasteners, does NOT require testing an additional lot equal to 10% of that type of snubber. Evaluation of snubber operability, corrective actions, and selection of other suspect snubbers for verification shall be as specified on Attachment 3 or Attachment 6, as applicable.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 10 of 36 7.0 PROCEDURE STEPS 7.1 Training and Qualification of Performers A. A thorough briefing should be conducted on SI performance prior to starting. B. The cognizant individual or Snubber Engineer responsible for the performance of the Surveillance Instruction must be qualified as a test director. C. Appropriate General Employee Training (GET) (including respirator training) should be received by test personnel prior to performing this SI. D. Training required for the testing of mechanical snubbers shall meet the requirements of Task Number MMY 502. 7.2 Preparation of Test Data Package [1] EXCLUDE the snubbers from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are scheduled for deletion in accordance with approved Design Change Notices. [2] EXCLUDE the snubbers until the next outage from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are to be added in accordance with approved Design Change Notices. [3] SELECT snubbers for retest which were placed in the same location as snubbers which failed during the previous outage, if the failure analysis showed that the failure was due to the location. However, these snubbers shall be tested in addition to the initial 10 percent test lot (sample plan). [4] DETERMINE the initial test lot (sample plan) as follows:

             "    SELECT 10 percent of the snubbers from subgroups 3a, 3b, 4 and 6 (see Appendix A).
  • In general, SELECT the snubbers with the most time from the previous test.
  • Sample should be weighed to include more snubbers from severe service areas (i.e., inside the drywell).
  • SELECT snubbers that have experienced severe transients.
             "    SELECT snubbers of various sizes.
  • If one snubber from a pair of parallel snubbers at the same location along the pipe (restrain in the same direction) is selected for testing the other snubber from that pair also should be selected for testing.

7.2 .2 Preparation of Test Data Package (continued) [5] REVIEW the applicable support drawings to verify the location and any conditions that will require special preparation or equipment. [6] REQUEST scaffold or similar devices to be built, as necessary. [7] RECORD the required information on Attachment 1,and prior to REMOVAL of a snubber per MPI-O-OOO-SNBOO4 for functional test, RECORD the "As-Found' Stroke Setting in Attachment 2. 7.3 "As-Found" and "As-Left" Functional Test Using the STB 200 Test Bench [1] IF the extension or one of the end attachments has been removed, THEN INSTALL the appropriate end attachments located in the snubber test facility. [2] ENSURE the test bench has been Warmed Up in accordance with Appendix B of this procedure. NOTE The following describes a suggested procedure for "Testing a Snubber" using the STB 200 Snubber Test Bench with the upgraded Windows Software Operations Manual. [3] POWERING UP THE TEST SYSTEM TURN ON the master power switch on the control console. Make sure that the computer, monitor, and printer are turned on. TURN ON the main breaker on the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) located at the end of the power unit. ENSURE that all emergency stop buttons are pulled out. [4] STARTING THE SOFTWARE Once the computer has "Booted Up", the Windows Desktop will be displayed. SELECT the "STB 200" icon and DOUBLE CLICK on it, this will Start the Test program. The "LOG ON" prompt window will appear. ENTER your user name and password in either upper or lower case letters. All functions required by the system are available in the screen, or from one of the Pull Down Menus at the top of the screen. [5] DAILY CALIBRATION CHECK PERFORM the Daily Calibration Check using Section 3.0 of Appendix B, and SIGN the daily calibration form. After the daily calibration check has been completed, and the Daily Calibration Report is "SATISFACTORY", PROCEED on testing a snubber.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 12 of 36 7.3 "As-Found" and "As-Left" Functional Test Using the STB 200 Test Bench (continued) [6] TESTING A SNUBBER [6.1] Pick the Snubber Type Using the Snubber Pull Down List in the User Supplied Information block, SELECT the Type Snubber to be tested. [6.2] Enter the Header Information FILL in the other information as indicated in the User Supplied Information block. [6.3] Running the Test [6.3.1] Pick the Test CLICK on the Type of Test (i.e., "As-Found" or "As-Left") desired. [6.3.2] Start the Test CLICK on the Start Test button. If this is the first test performed on the snubber, the following two windows will appear: [6.3.3] Tare weight Window This window allows the User to "zero out" any offset load that the load cell may be reading. This should be DONE BEFORE installing the snubber in the test bench. WAIT for the "Raw Reading" to settle (as far as possible), and then CLICK "Adjust Load Cell". The "Adjustment" will be updated, and the "Adjusted Reading" should now read close to zero (0) lb. The "Adjust Load Cell" button may be Clicked again if a new adjustment value is desired. Once the readings are as desired, CLICK the "Continue" button. ENSURE the correct load cell is connected to the machine. CHOOSE the proper bushings and pins for the snubber being tested, then INSTALL the bushings in both clevis attachments on the machine. [6.3.4] Stroke and Position Window INSTALL the snubber in the test bench, with the piston or operable end toward the drive piston of the machine if possible. ADJUST the backstop and or USE the Jog Speed Slider to adjust~the bench and the driver cylinder to the desired pin to pin dimension. The jog slider adjusts the jog speed. The joystick on the test frame controls the actual motion of the driver. INSTALL the pins through the bushing and the snubber spherical bearings.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 13 of 36 7.3 "As-Found" and "As-Left" Functional Test Using the STB 200 Test Bench (continued) ONCE the snubber has been pinned, the snubber's piston position (distance from the fully retracted position) should be accurately measured (within 0.1 inch) and entered in the SNUBBER EXTENSION window. If the test program calculates that it cannot fully extend or fully retract the snubber during drag testing, one or more of the text windows on the screen will be highlighted in red. If this happens, the backstop will have to be adjusted and the snubber extension recalculated. The program calculates whether it can fully test the snubber through its stroke range. It will display the two ends of stroke (minus the 1/2" safety zones), the calculated center position and the bottomed out position for the snubber. Once the data has been successfully entered, TIGHTEN the lock nuts on the load cell threaded rod snug tight to prevent slippage during the test. ENTER the snubber number, system number, serial number, and test equipment information on Attachment 2 or 5 as required, and CLICK on "Continue with Test" to continue the test. [6.3.5] If an Activation Test is Selected After all the above steps has been completed, and PRIOR to starting an "As-Found" Activation Test, the test program will initiate a routine to set and stabilize the hydraulic system pressure at a calculated level sufficient to achieve the requested test load. During this period, the set point and actual pressures are displayed, along with the output voltage, and a "count down" value. When the pressure is near the desired value, the countdown value will decrement towards zero. If the pressure fluctuates out of limits, the countdown will reset to six. Once the pressure is stable enough to let the countdown complete, the test will begin automatically. OBSERVE that the snubber activates in both directions, to establish operability of the snubber in the "As-Found" condition. RECORD all necessary information on Attachment 2 or 5, as appropriate.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 14 of 36 7.3 "As-Found" and "As-Left" Functional Test Using the STB 200 Test Bench (continued) NOTE Forcing a test may allow the machine to overstress the snubber during the test! If the user wishes to force a test, clicking the "Force the Test" button will initiate the test regardless of pressure. Clicking the "Abort the Test" button will cause the test cycle to abort without performing the test. [6.3.6] If Drag Test is Selected If a Drag Test (i.e., ID, AC, and FD test sequence for the "As-Left", and AC, FD test sequence for "As-Found" functional test) is selected, the test system will automatically begin the drag test. The system will determine the starting position of the snubber, and choose the initial test direction to move towards the farthest end of stroke. The drag speed will be automatically controlled to the target speed set earlier. This test is to VERIFY free travel of the piston rod through its full stroke, and that the Raw Test Data graphed in real time. VERIFY that the drag force of the snubber is less than the values shown in Table 6.2-1. RECORD this information on Attachment 2 or 5, as appropriate. [6.3.7] Printing the Results After the test is complete, the calculations appropriate to that test are performed and the results are displayed on the screen. This allows the user to review and determine if the "As-Found" test results meet the "As-Left" acceptance criteria in Section 6.0B, and plot the test results: IF the results are within the "As-Left" acceptance range, THEN CLICK on the "Print Test" button to open the standard Windows printer dialog box. SELECT the proper printer, and CLICK "OK" to start the printing. ATTACH the Printed Results in Attachment 2 or 5, as part of the work package.

PROCEED TO Step 7.3[8] below. For Activation tests on acceleration limiting snubbers only, the calculated acceleration lines will be printed if they are displayed on the graph when printing is requested. [6.3.8] Saving the Test Results To save a test file to disk, CLICK the "Save Test" button. This saves the test results in the "test-data" directory. The file name of the saved test result is as follows: WorkOrder-number Serialnumber TestDate TestType.csv Where: Work Order number is the value entered in the work order number entry Serialnumber is the value entered in the serial number entry TestDate is the date when test was performed Test_Type is ID_ for initial drag tests, AC for activation tests and FD for final drag tests. Tests are saved as comma separated variable files and may be directly loaded into Excel or similar spreadsheet programs as desired. [6.3.9] Running Another Test CLICK on the Type of test to be performed. The results of the last test will be erased, and the graph will rescale for the test to be done. REPEAT the procedure from Step 7.3[6.3.2] to COMPLETE Running Another Test (i.e., the "As-Left"), as needed. [6.3.10] Testing Another Snubber SELECT a new snubber type, if necessary, from the snubber pull down list. If a snubber of the same type is to be tested, the user has to only change the serial number, hanger number, and work order entries. REPEAT this procedure from Step 7.3[6.3.1] to COMPLETE Testing Another Snubber.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 19 of 36 Appendix A (Page 1 of 2) Subgrouping of Mechanical Snubbers 1.0 SUBGROUPINGS For functional testing, mechanical snubbers are divided into four subgroups as described below: 1.1 Subgroups 3a and 3b These subgroups are based on design features and are composed of medium mechanical snubbers as designed and manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company. They range in capacity from 1500 pounds to 15,000 pounds and are designated as PSA-1, PSA-3, and PSA-10. The design features that set the PSA-1, PSA-3 and PSA-10 mechanical snubbers apart from the small and large mechanical snubbers are the use of a ball screw with a traveling nut that is prevented from rotating by keys traveling in slots. This arrangement is used to transform stroking motion of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass. These snubbers are divided into subgroups 3a and 3b. Subgroup 3a NF design - These snubbers were designed and manufactured in accordance with subsection NF of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Materials used for manufacture of the snubber components meet the subsection NF code requirements. Subgroup 3b Pre-NF design - These snubbers were designed and manufactured to good commercial practice, NOT to the subsection NF code requirements. Materials used for some of the snubber components do NOT meet the subsection NF code requirements. Previous functional testing shows that these snubbers have a higher than average failure rate. Ui

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 20 of 36 Appendix A (Page 2 of 2) Subgrouping of Mechanical Snubbers 1.2 Subgroup 4 This subgroup is based on the design features and is composed of Pacific Scientific Company small mechanical snubbers ranging in capacity from 350 pounds to 650 pounds and are designated as PSA-1/4 and PSA-1/2. The design features that set them apart from the other PSA mechanical snubbers are the use of a coarse lead screw and brass nut to transform stroking of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass. The brass nut has two slots engaged with two small diameter steel rods that prevent rotation of the nut, but permit the nut to travel along the rods as the snubber is stroked. The rods can be bent during sudden overload of the snubber or by rotating the ends of the snubber during installation when the pins in the front end attachment or pipe clamp and the base plate clevis are NOT in proper alignment. 1.3 Subgroup 6 This subgroup is based on design features and is composed of large mechanical snubbers as designed and manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company. They range in capacity from 50,000 pounds to 120,000 pounds and are designated as PSA-35 and PSA-100. The PSA-35 and PSA-100 snubbers are equipped with planetary gearing which is NOT used in the other sizes. As stated above this arrangement is used to transform stroking motion of the snubber into rotation of the inertial mass. When snubbers are added, deleted, or changed, based on modifications, they are added or deleted from their appropriate subgroups. If the added snubbers do NOT fit an existing subgroup, a revision to this SI describing the new subgroup or a revision to an existing subgroup is required. Snubbers tested from severe service areas will remain a part of their respective design subgroup, unless a failure analysis is performed and a separate subgroup is justified and incorporated into this SI. Severe service areas include inside the drywell and in the main steam valve vault room. There have been minimal failures of snubbers in these locations, therefore, testing 10 percent of the snubbers in these areas each refueling outage satisfies the intent of the surveillance requirement.

Clicking on "Auto Exercise" in the Operating Mode block will cause the selected bench to automatically stroke back and forth. The system should be run this way until the oil temperature is above approximately 70°F or smooth operation is attained. Both test benches should be exercised. To change from one bench to the other, CLICK on the bench label. [2] CHECK THE PRESSURE TRANSMITTER NOTE This instrument does NOT provide safety-related data. This check is optional. In the Manual Control Panel mode, SELECT Manual in the Operating Mode block. TURN the "HP Pump" on, Then USE the HP Pump slider to increase the pressure command setting until the "Pressure" reading is approximately 2000 psi. CHECK the 0-3000 psi gauge in the front of the HPU. The two readings should be within - 200 psi. [3] PARK THE RAM SELECT the "Park the Ram" to prepare the bench for the Daily Calibration Check. This should be done for both benches. [4] SHUT DOWN THE MANUAL CONTROL PANEL CLICK on "SHUT DOWN" to exit the Manual Control Panel.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-Sl-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 22 of 36 Appendix B (Page 2 of 3) Daily Startup Procedures for the STB-200 Test Bench 2.0 STATUS CHECK [1] During the warm-up period, the frame drive cylinders should be stroked using the proportional valve and or the jog/drag valve. [2] The system should be checked for loose fittings, bolts, etc. [3] The filter indicators should be watched during cylinder stroking to insure that they are NOT illuminating. [4] Ifthe indicators are illuminating, the filters should be changed before continuing with operation of the machine or any testing. 3.0 DAILY CALIBRATION CHECKS The following calibration checks assure the functionality of the instrument and the Data Acquisition and Control System (DAS) for testing. They do NOT take the place of full system calibrations that must be performed on a periodic basis. The instrument system (DAS system and transmitters) should be powered up for 30 minutes before any checks or testing is performed. Prior to performing this function, both rams should have been "Parked' using the "Park the Ram" function in the Manual Control Panel. [1] SELECT THE DAILY CALIBRATION FUNCTION SELECT the Daily Calibration Check function from the "Tools' menu. [2] CONNECT THE LOW RANGE LOAD CELL AS DIRECTED If directed to by the software, ELECTRICALLY CONNECT the Low Range Load Cell as instructed. The load cell does NOT need to be mechanically mounted in the test bench, but it must be connected to its electrical cable. [3] STORE THE "ZERO" CALIBRATION READINGS For each instrument CLICK the "STORE"button in the "ZERO" column on the Daily Calibration screen for that instrument. The zero reading will be captured in the "Actual" "Zero" column. If it is within limits, the box will turn gray. If it is NOT within limits, the box will turn yellow.

BFN Functional Testing of Mechanical 0-SI-4.6.H-2A Unit 0 Snubbers Rev. 0008 Page 26 of 36 Appendix E (Page 1 of 1) Instructions for Exchanging the End Plug from Old to New Snubber These instructions are to be followed at any time the end plug is required to be removed from one snubber and placed on a different snubber. This will most likely take place when a PRE-NF (white) PSA-10 snubber is replaced with a new NF PSA-10 snubber. All of these snubbers are found on the MSRV Tailpipes in the Units 2 and 3 drywells. When one of these snubbers fails it is to be replaced with a new PSA-10 snubber and the end plug and rear bracket are required to be transferred to the new snubber. This is required because the pin size of the existing snubber is 7/8 inch and the new snubber is 1 inch diameter. The following instructions are to be followed when exchanging the end plug. A. REMOVE the filister head screws and flat washers to free the position indicator tube from the end plug assembly of the old and the new snubber. B. If the screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE. C. REMOVE the position indicator tube. D. PLACE the snubber on a work bench or stand. E. Using an appropriate Allen Wrench, REMOVE the set screws from the end plug assembly. F. Ifthe screws are distorted or damaged DISCARD and REPLACE. G. After removing the set screws, USE a size No. 30 drill for a PSA-1 and size No. 23 for a PSA-10, to remove the distorted threads of the telescoping cylinder caused by the set screws. H. DRILL only to the depth necessary to remove the distortions so the end plug assembly can rotate freely. I. USE eye protection, and REMOVE any loose drill shavings with clean compressed air. J. REMOVE the end plugs from the snubbers and exchange them as required. K. INSTALL the set screws and TIGHTEN to distort the threads on the telescoping cylinder. L. REINSTALL the position indicator tube over the end plug assembly and REINSTALL the filister head screws.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on all safety related systems, inside and outside of the drywell. 1.2 Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are either accessible (outside of the Drywell) or inaccessible (inside the Drywell) during reactor operation. The Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers belong to Subgroup 1. The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1. This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers addressed as HSSA-3, -10, -20, -30, ADH-1 0, -20, -30, -50, -70 and -130 for Units 1, 2, and 3 as follows:

  • Removal and reinstallation of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers to facilitate testing is accomplished in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2.
  • Provides the requirements for functional testing and service life monitoring of Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling or Fronek hydraulic snubbers. This instruction covers subgroup 1 (see Appendix B for snubber subgroup information). To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) functional testing requirements, Surveillance Instructions 0-SI-4.6.H-2A, 0-SI-4.6.H-2C, 0-SI-4.6.H-2D, and 0-SI-4.6.H-2E must also be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.
  • Provides a means for the control and documentation of all snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction.
     "    This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of hydraulic snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination SI's.

                            .Hydraulic Snubbers               Page 6 of 48 1.3   Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1, Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers.

B. This instruction may be performed at any time for snubbers outside the drywell, but may only be performed at a time when the drywell may be entered for snubbers inside the drywell. C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode. D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel. E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable. F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported component or system inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system. G. For an inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubbers to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM. The engineering evaluation is to determine if the component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be recorded on Attachment 4. H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and NOT replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber NOT replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system may be verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

BFN Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B Unit 0 Anchor/Darling or Fronek Rev. 0008 Hydraulic Snubbers Page 10 of 48 7.0 PROCEDURE STEPS 7.1 Training and Qualification of Performers [1] A thorough briefing should be conducted on SI performance prior to starting. [2] The cognizant individual or Snubber Engineer responsible for the performance of the Surveillance Instruction must be qualified as a test director. [3] Appropriate General Employee Training (GET) (including respirator training) should be completed by test personnel prior to performing this SI. [4] Training required for the testing of hydraulic snubbers shall meet the requirements of Task Number MMY 510. 7.2 Preparation of Test Data Package [1] EXCLUDE the snubbers from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are scheduled for deletion, in accordance with approved Design Change Notices. [2] EXCLUDE the snubbers until the next outage from the initial test lot (sample plan) which are to be added, in accordance with approved Design Change Notices. [3] SELECT snubbers for retest which were placed in the same location as snubbers which failed during the previous outage, if the failure analysis showed that the failure was due to the location. However, these snubbers shall be tested in addition to the initial 10 percent test lot (sample plan). [4] DETERMINE the initial test lot (sample plan) as follows:

  • SELECT 10 percent of the snubbers from subgroup 1 (SEE Appendix B).

In general, SELECT the snubbers with the most time from the previous test. Sample should be weighed to include more snubbers from severe service areas (i.e. inside the drywell).

  • SELECT snubbers that have experienced severe transients.
  • SELECT snubbers of various sizes.

[5] REVIEW the applicable hanger drawings to verify the location and any conditions that will require special preparation or equipment.

BFN Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B Unit 0 Anchor/Darling or Fronek Rev. 0008 Hydraulic Snubbers Page 11 of 48 7.2 Preparation of Test Data Package (continued) [6] REQUEST scaffold or similar devices to be built or available, as necessary. [7] RECORD the date, time and other required information on Attachment 1, and prior to REMOVAL of a snubber per MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 for functional test, RECORD the "As-Found" Stroke Setting in Attachment 2. 7.3 "As-Found" Functional Test Using the STB-200 Test Bench [1] IF the extension or one of the end attachments has been removed, THEN INSTALL the appropriate end attachments located in the snubber test facility. [2] ENSURE the test bench has been warmed up in accordance with Appendix D of this procedure. NOTE The following describes a suggested procedure for "Testing a Snubber" using the STB 200 Snubber Test Bench with the upgraded Windows Software Operations Manual. [3] Powering Up The Test System TURN ON the master power switch on the control console. Make sure that the computer, monitor, and printer are turned on. TURN ON the main breaker on the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) located at the end of the power unit. ENSURE that all emergency stop buttons are pulled out. [4] Starting The Software Once the computer has "Booted Up", the Windows Desktop will be displayed. SELECT the "STB 200" icon and double click on it, this will Start the Test program. The "LOG ON" prompt window will appear. ENTER your user name and password in either upper or lower case letters. All functions required by the system are available in the screen, or from one of the Pull Down Menus at the top of the screen. [5] Daily Calibration Check PERFORM the Daily Calibration Check using Appendix D and sign the daily calibration form. After Daily Calibration Check has been completed, and the Daily Calibration Report is "Satisfactory", proceed on testing a snubber. [6] A surface contact pyrometer may be used to OBTAIN the surface temperature of the snubber, and RECORD the temperature correction from Appendix D for the surface temperature obtained, on Attachment 2 as appropriate.

[7.2] Enter the Header Information FILL in the other information as indicated in the User Supplied Information block. [7.3] Running the Test [7.3.1] Pick the Test CLICK on the Type of Test (i.e., "As-Found" or "As-Left") desired. [7.3.2] Start the Test CLICK on the Start Test button. Ifthis is the first test performed on the snubber, the following two windows will appear: [7.3.3] Tare weight Window This window allows the User to "zero out" any offset load that the load cell may be reading. This should be performed BEFORE installing the snubber in the test bench. WAIT for the "Raw Reading" to settle (as far as possible), and then CLICK "Adjust Load Cell". The "Adjustment" will be updated, and the "Adjusted Reading" should now read close to zero (0) lb. The "Adjust Load Cell" button may be Clicked again if a new adjustment value is desired. Once the readings are as desired, CLICK the "Continue" button. ENSURE the correct load cell is connected to the machine. CHOOSE the proper bushings and pins for the snubber being tested, then INSTALL the bushings in both clevis attachments on the machine.

BFN Functional Testing of Bergen-Paterson, 0-SI-4.6.H-2B Unit 0 Anchor/Darling or Fronek Rev. 0008 Hydraulic Snubbers Page 13 of 48 7.3 "As-Found" Functional Test Using the STB-200 Test Bench (continued) [7.3.4] Stroke and Position Window INSTALL the snubber in the test bench, with the piston or operable end toward the drive piston of the machine if possible. ADJUST the backstop and/or use the Jog Speed Slider to adjust the bench and the driver. cylinder to the desired pin to pin dimension. The jog slider adjusts the jog speed. The joystick on the test frame controls the actual motion of the driver. INSTALL the pins through the bushing and the snubber spherical bearings. ONCE the snubber has been pinned for a test, the snubber's piston position (distance from fully retracted position) should be accurately measured (within 0.1 inch) and entered in the SNUBBER EXTENSION window. If the test program calculates that it cannot fully extend or fully retract the snubber during drag testing, one or more of the text windows on the screen will be highlighted in red. If this happens, the backstop will have to be adjusted and the snubber extension recalculated. The program calculates whether it can fully test the snubber through its stroke range. It will display the two ends of stroke (minus a 1/2 inch safety zones), the calculated center position and the bottomed out position for the snubber. Once the data has been successfully entered, TIGHTEN the lock nuts on the load cell threaded rod snug tight to prevent slippage during the test. ENTER the snubber UNID number, WO number, system number, serial number, and the test equipment information on Attachment 2 as required, and CLICK on "Continue with Test" to continue the test. [7.3.5] If an Activation Test is Selected After all the above steps have been completed, and PRIOR to starting an "As-Found" Activation Test, the test program will initiate a routine to set and stabilize the hydraulic system pressure at a calculated level sufficient to achieve the requested test load. During this period, the setpoint and actual pressures are displayed, along with the output voltage, and a "count down" value. When the pressure is near the desired value, the countdown value will decrement towards zero. If the pressure fluctuates out of limits, the countdown will reset to six. Once the pressure is stable enough to let the countdown complete, the test will begin automatically.

RECORD all necessary information on Attachment 2, as appropriate. NOTE Forcing a test may allow the machine to overstress the snubber during the test! If the user wishes to force a test, clicking the "Force the Test" button will initiate the test regardless of pressure. Clicking the "Abort the Test" button will cause the test cycle to abort without performing the test. [7.3.6] If Drag Test is Selected If a Drag Test (i.e., ID, AC, and FD test sequence for "As-Left", and AC, FD test sequence for "As-Found" test) is selected, the test system will automatically begin the drag test. The system will determine the starting position of the snubber, and choose the initial test direction to move towards the farthest end of stroke. The drag speed will be automatically controlled to the target speed set earlier. This test is to VERIFY free travel of the piston rod through its full stroke. The Raw Test Data graphed inreal time is reviewed to: VERIFY that the drag force of the snubber does NOT exceed 2% of the rated load. RECORD this information on Attachment 2, as appropriate. [7.3.7] Printing the Results After the test is complete, the calculations appropriate to that test are performed and the results are displayed on the screen. This allows the user to review and determine if the "As-Found" test results meet the "As-Left" acceptance criteria, and plot the test results: IF the results are within the "As-Left" acceptance range, THEN CLICK on the "Print Test" button to open the standard Windows printer dialog box. SELECT the proper printer, and CLICK "OK" to start the printing.

For Activation tests on acceleration limiting snubbers only, the calculated acceleration lines will be printed if they are displayed on the graph when printing is requested. [7.3.8] Saving the Test Results To save a test file to disk, CLICK the "Save Test" button. This saves the test results in the "testdata"directory. The file name of the saved test result is as follows: WorkOrdernumber Serialnumber TestDate TestType.csv Where: Work Order number is the value entered in the work order number entry Serialnumber is the value entered in the serial number entry TestDate is the date when test was performed Test_Type is ID for initial drag tests, AC for activation tests and FD for final drag tests. Tests are saved as comma separated variable files and may be directly loaded into Excel or similar spreadsheet programs as desired. [7.3.9] Running Another Test CLICK on the Type of test to be performed. The results of the last test will be erased, and the graph will rescale for the test to be done. REPEAT the procedure from Step 7.3[7.3.2]. to complete Running Another Test (i.e., the "As-Left"), as needed. [7.3.10] Testing Another Snubber SELECT a new snubber type, if necessary, from the snubber pull down list. If a snubber of the same type is to be tested, the user has to only change the serial number, hanger number, and work order entries. REPEAT this procedure from Step 7.3[7.3.1]. to COMPLETE Testing Another Snubber.

When the Windows screen appears, CLICK on START, then SHUTDOWN, and CLICK on SHUT DOWN the Computer. Then CLICK OK. When the computer has completely shutdown, TURN OFF the main power switch on the current control consoles. NOTE At this time the machine has completed Running the Test. Unless you are leaving the building, leave the machine running so it will NOT have to be warmed up to perform another test (i.e., the "As-Left" test) as needed. [8] DETERMINE if the "As-Found" test results meet the acceptance criteria in Section 6.0B.1. [9] ENTER the information on Attachment 2, as appropriate. [10] IF the test results are within the acceptable range of Section 6.0B1, THEN COMPARE the "As-Found" test results with the "As-Left" acceptance criteria in Section 6.0B.2. [11] IF the test results are within the "As-Left" acceptance criteria, THEN PREPARE the snubber for reinstallation. IF NOT, THEN PERFORM the "As-Left" testing in accordance with Section 7.4, as necessary, to obtain the acceptable "As-Left" range.

  • NOTIFY the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor immediately.
  • REQUEST a failure analysis using Attachment 3, and a supported component or system analysis on Attachment 4, as necessary.
  • DETERMINE the subsequent test lot (sample plan), as required.

SELECT the number of snubbers equal to 10 percent of the remaining snubbers in that subgroup.

  • In general, SELECT the snubbers with the most time from the previous test.
  • FILL OUT the applicable sections of Attachment 2, as required.
  • ENSURE test data package is ready for Shift Manager/Unit Supervisor authorization.
  • PERFORM applicable functional test for the subsequent test lot (sample plan).

7.4 "As-Left" Functional Test Using the STB-200 Test Bench [1] DETERMINE if the "As-Left" testing is required based on the following:

  • IF the snubber has been rebuilt, THEN PERFORM the "As-Left" testing in accordance with this Section.
  • IF the results of Step 7.3[10] DO NOT meet the acceptance criteria in Section 6.OB.2, THEN MAKE adjustments and PERFORM the "As-Left" test.

[2] If the test machine has been left on, it will be ready to Run Another Test. CLICK on the type of test (i.e., "As-Left") to be performed. The results of the last test will be erased, and the graph will rescale for the "As-Left" test to be done. REPEAT "Running the Test" procedure for the "As-Left" test starting from Step 7.3[7.3.2].

[4] ENTER the snubber number, WO number, system number, serial number and test equipment information on Attachment 2, as appropriate. [5] MEASURE the snubber surface temperature with a pyrometer, and RECORD the temperature correction from Appendix D for the measured surface temperature reading on Attachment 2, as appropriate. [6] REPEAT Steps 7.3[7.3] through 7.3[7.4] to complete the "As-Left" test. NOTE that the "As-Left" test sequence may start with the Initial Drag (ID) test, then the Activation (AC) test, and the Final Drag (FD) test. The "As-Found" test sequence may start with the Activation (AC) test, and then the Final Drag (FD) test. [7] As shown in Appendix A, Illustrations A-1 and A-2, fluid from the rod end (extension or "out" direction) activates the poppet in the connector tube end of the valve block. Fluid from the blind end (compression or "in" direction) activates the poppet under the poppet stop and plug. [8] If the snubber locks up at too low of a velocity, the width between the flats on the poppet head is too great, causing too much resistance to flow and the poppet closes at a low flow rate. [9] REPLACE the poppet with one which has a smaller distance between the flats Appendix A, Table A-1. NOTE A change of approximately 0.006 inches (0.003 inches each side) in the distance between the flats will change the lock-up velocity approximately one inch per minute. [10] If poppets are NOT available with the required dimensions, a small amount of material may be removed by filing/shaving or added by welding and then machined to the needed/finished dimension.

[11] Material may be added to the poppet head which is too narrow, using weld procedure GE-i 1-0-1. After welding, the flats are to be milled to the proper dimension. NOTES

1) Poppets supplied by Bergen-Paterson, manufactured after August 1977, are identified by an "E" stamped on the head of extension poppets. Compression poppets are NOT marked. Prior toAugust 1977, neither extension or compression poppets were marked. Appendix A, Table A-1 lists the current factory dimensions and part numbers for the poppets.
2) The valve and poppets used for the external pipe configuration snubbers do NOT have the exact dimensions as the later models, the current model poppets can be adjusted to give the required results in the external pipe configuration.
3) The bleed rate is determined by the amount of fluid that goes through the grooves in the tapered part of the poppet when it closes on the valve seat.
4) If the bleed rate is too fast for the amount of force developed, the grooves are too deep.

[12] MACHINE the tapered portion of the poppet at the existing angle just enough to almost clean off the grooves. NOTE A Noburod or Severance chamfering tool may be used to remove the grooves. [13] ENSURE that the tapered portion of the poppet is machined smoothly and true, since it is a sealing surface.

[14] RESTORE the grooves, as necessary, using a machinist file. NOTE A slight change in the depth of the groove makes a lot of difference in the bleed rate of the snubber. [15] Each time the valve, cylinder or accumulator are reassembled, REFILL them with silicone fluid and BLEED/PURGE any entrapped air from the passages of the snubber. NOTE Air contained in the fluid changes the lock-up and bleed rate, therefore the fluid should be free of air when the functional tests are performed. [16] When the bleed rate has been adjusted or replacement poppets have been installed, the complete As-Left functional test is to be repeated. [17] REPEAT Steps 7.3[7.3] through 7.3[7.4], as necessary, to achieve the lock-up and bleed rates, as required to meet the acceptance criteria stated in Section 6.0B.2. [18] .RECORD the "As-Left" test results on Attachment 2, and indicate" As-Left" test "Passed" on a tag to be wired to the snubber. [19] The person responsible for performing the functional test shall SIGN, DATE the tag, and ATTACH/WIRE the tag to the snubber.

1.0 SUBGROUPING

For functional testing, the Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers, except 12 inch bore Torus dynamic restraints, belong to one subgroup as described below: Subgroup 1 All sizes of Bergen-Paterson (except the 12 inch bore Torus Dynamic Restraints), Anchor/Darling, and Fronek hydraulic snubbers. When snubbers are added, deleted, or changed, based on modifications, they are added or deleted from their appropriate subgroups. If the added snubbers do NOT fit an existing subgroup, a revision to this SI describing the new subgroup or a revision to an existing subgroup is required. Snubbers tested from severe service areas will remain a part of their respective subgroup, unless a failure analysis is performed and a separate subgroup is justified and incorporated into this SI. Severe service areas include inside the drywell and in the main steam valve vault room. There have been minimal failures of snubbers in these locations, therefore, testing 10 percent of the snubbers in these areas each refueling outage satisfies the intent of the surveillance requirement.

[2] The system should be checked for loose fittings, bolts, etc. [3] The filter indicators should be watched during cylinder stroking to insure that they are NOT illuminating. [4] If the indicators are illuminating the filters should be changed before continuing with operation of the machine or any testing. 3.0 DAILY CALIBRATION CHECKS The following calibration checks assure the functionality of the instrument and Data Acquisition and control System (DAS) for testing. They do not take the place of full system calibrations which must be performed on a periodic basis. The instrument system (DAS system and transmitters) should be powered up for 30 minutes before any checks or testing is performed. Prior to performing this function, both rams should have been "Parked" using the "Park the Ram" function in the Manual Control Panel. [1] SELECT THE DAILY CALIBRATION FUNCTION SELECT the Daily Calibration Check function from the "Tools" menu. [2] CONNECT THE LOW RANGE LOAD CELL AS DIRECTED If directed to by the software, electrically connect the Low Range Load Cell as instructed. The load cell does NOT need to be mechanically mounted in the test bench, but it must be connected to its electrical cable. [3] STORE THE "ZERO" CALIBRATION READINGS For each instrument click the "STORE" button in the "ZERO" column on the Daily Calibration screen for that instrument. The zero reading will be captured in the "Actual" "Zero" column. If it is within limits, the box will turn gray. If it is NOT within limits, the box will turn yellow.

Seal service life of hydraulic snubbers shall be monitored to ensure that the service life of the seals is NOT exceeded. The maximum expected service life for various seals, seal materials and applications shall be estimated, based on engineering information and seals shall be replaced so that the maximum expected seal service life does NOT expire during a period when the snubber(s) are required to be operable. Based on current seal manufacturer's data and operating experience, ethylene propylene seals are expected to have a maximum service life of approximately 10 years for the Bergen-Paterson, Anchor/Darling, or Fronek hydraulic snubbers. This maximum seal service life may be extended to 17.3 years based on the evaluation results documented in Ref. 2.0K. The piston, piston rod, cylinder and glands are also subject to wear, especially in high vibration installations. Those, and other moving parts of the snubber, should be examined carefully each time the seals are replaced, and replacements made to prevent leakage or other conditions of loss of function before the next time the snubber is to be rebuilt. To ensure that the seal service life does NOT expire and to distribute the work load between the refueling outages, replace the seals in approximately 10 percent of the Bergen-Paterson hydraulic snubbers each refueling outage. However, review the required seal service date on the data base and replace the seals whose required seal service date will occur before the next scheduled refueling outage, unless justification is provided for extending the service life of those seals. Seals replacement work shall be performed and documented in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO2. Seal service life monitoring data shall be recorded in an appropriate data base as determined by the Snubber Engineer/SE Designee. Each time that the seal service life start and expiration dates change as a result of seals replacement the data base should be revised to incorporate current status of the seal service life.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose This Surveillance Instruction implements Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) TR 3.7.4, and provides direction for the functional testing, of Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints, as given in the Snubber Program Procedure (0-TI-398), on safety related systems outside of the drywell. 1.2 Scope The snubbers within the scope of this instruction are accessible during reactor operation. The Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints belong to Subgroup 5. The portions of Technical Requirements TR 3.7.4 pertaining to the visual examination of snubbers are implemented by Surveillance Instructions 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1 and 3-SI-4.6.H-1. This Surveillance Instruction (SI) provides the requirements and guidance to perform functional testing of Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints for Units 1, 2 and 3, as follows:

  • Removal and reinstallation of Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints is accomplished per MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and recorded in Attachment 2.
  • Provides the requirements for functional testing and service life monitoring of Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraints. This instruction covers subgroup 5 only (see Appendix A for snubber subgroup information). To completely fulfill the snubber Technical Requirements (TR) functional testing requirements, Surveillance Instructions O-SI-4.6.H-2A, O-SI-4.6.H-2B, O-SI-4.6.H-2C and O-SI-4.6.H-2D must be performed as required per TSR 3.7.4.2.
  • Provides a means for the control and documentation of all Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint snubber surveillance activities provided in this Surveillance Instruction.
     "    This Surveillance Instruction shall be used to verify operability of Lisega Torus Dynamic Restraint snubbers suspected inoperable during performance of the visual examination Sis.

BFN Functional Testing of Lisega Large 0-SI-4.6.H-2E Unit 0 Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Rev. 0007 Snubbers Page 6 of 49 1.3 Frequency/Conditions A. This Surveillance Instruction shall be performed each refueling outage and portions of it may be performed to establish operability in accordance with 1-SI-4.6.H-1, 2-SI-4.6.H-1, and 3-SI-4.6.H-1 Visual Examination of Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers. B. This instruction may only be performed during an outage for the Lisega Large Bore Torus Dynamic Restraints. C. All safety related snubbers shall be operable during all modes of operation as described in the Technical Requirements Manual TR 3.7.4, if the system is required to be operable during that mode. D. Snubbers located inside the drywell on reactor vessel attached piping shall be OPERABLE whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel. Snubbers on the Main Steam, HPCI, and RCIC piping in the drywell are exempt from the operability requirement when the steam line plugs are installed in the reactor vessel. E. Snubbers on safety related systems that have experienced unexpected potentially damaging transients shall be evaluated for the possibility of concealed damage and functionally tested, if applicable. F. A snubber removed from an operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced within 72 hours of its removal or declare the supported system/component inoperable and follow the appropriate action statement for that system. G. For inoperable snubber(s), within 72 hours, replace or restore inoperable snubber(s) to an operable status and perform an engineering evaluation on the supported component or system, if the snubber does NOT meet the functional test acceptance criteria of TSR 3.7.4.2. Otherwise, declare the system inoperable and follow the required actions specified in the TRM. The engineering evaluation is to determine if component or system restrained by the snubber(s) was adversely affected by inoperability of the snubber(s) during the previous operating cycle and ensure that the restrained component or system remains capable of meeting its design function. The engineering evaluation(s) for supported component or system analysis are to be recorded on Attachment 4. H. Alternately, for a snubber removed and not replaced within 72 hours, or an inoperable snubber not replaced or restored within 72 hours, operability of the supported system maybe verified based on an engineering evaluation of the system functional capability with the removed or inoperable snubber.

BFN Functional Testing of Lisega Large 0-SI-4.6.H-2E Unit 0 Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Rev. 0007 Snubbers Page 7 of 49 1.3 Frequency/Conditions (continued) I. Snubbers removed for maintenance or determined to be inoperable on a non-operable safety related system must be reinstalled or replaced, in accordance with MPI-0-000-SNBOO4 and tested in accordance with this instruction, prior to declaring the system operable. J. For all subgroups, when subsequent testing is required, it shall continue within the respective subgroup until no failure is found. K. New, replaced, or rebuilt snubber(s) shall meet the functional test acceptance criteria before their installation in the unit and must have been functionally tested "Satisfactory", within 12 months prior to their installation.

Evaluation of snubber operability, corrective actions, and selection of other suspect snubbers for verification shall be as specified on Attachment 3 or Attachment 6, as applicable.

BFN Functional Testing of Lisega Large 0-SI-4.6.H-2E Unit 0 Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Rev. 0007 Snubbers Page 10 of 49 7.0 PROCEDURE STEPS 7.1 Training and Qualification of Performers [1] Thorough briefing should be conducted on SI performance prior to starting. [2]. The cognizant individual or Snubber Engineer responsible for the performance of the Surveillance Instruction must be qualified as a test director. [3] Appropriate General Employee Training (GET) (including respirator training) should be received by personnel prior to performing this SI. 7.2 Preparation of Test Data Package [1] SELECT snubbers for retest which were placed in the same location as snubbers which failed during the previous outage, if the failure analysis showed that the failure was due to the location. However, these snubbers shall be tested in addition to the initial 10 percent test lot (sample plan). [2] DETERMINE the initial test lot (sample plan) as follows:

  • SELECT 10 percent of the snubbers from subgroup 5 (see Appendix A).
  • In general, SELECT the snubbers with the most time from the previous test.
  • SELECT snubbers that have experienced severe transients.
  • FILL OUT the applicable section(s) of Attachment 2.

BFN Functional Testing of Lisega Large 0-SI-4.6.H-2E Unit 0 Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Rev. 0007 Snubbers Page 11 of 49 7.3 Removal of Valves From Restraint/Surrogate NOTES

1) Before the existing valves are removed, record the "As-Found" stroke setting on Attachment 2. There must be no external forces exerted on the restraint, either in compression or tension.
2) Prior to removal of the existing valves ensure there are spare valves on hand which have been tested and passed their functional test within the past 12 months.
3) For valve removal, always remove the front valve 1st and the rear valve 2nd.

For valve installation, always install the rear valve 1st and the front valve 2nd. [1] REMOVE the hexagon screw, disk, bushing and lock plate from the face side of the valve body. See Illustration 1. [2] TURN the 2-way ball valve positioner from the slot being in the vertical to the horizontal direction as shown in position 2, of Illustration 1. This disconnects the snubber main body cylinder from the rear valve. [3] REMOVE the hex screws from the cover of the front valve. See Illustration 2. NOTE When lifting the valve the automatic shut-off valve between the pressurized reservoir and the restraint body interrupts the connection, so that the cylinder is no longer pressurized. [4] REMOVE the front cover, then REMOVE the valve with the extraction tool. See Illustration 2. [5] CONNECT a drain hose to the coupling at the snubber drain port shown in Illustration 3, on the interior face of the valve body. [6] DRAIN the oil from between the valves. After draining is complete, REMOVE the drain hose. [7] REMOVE the hex screws from the cover over the rear valve. See Illustration 2 [8] REMOVE the rear cover, then REMOVE the valve with the extraction tool. See Illustration 2.

BFN Functional Testing of Lisega Large 0-SI-4.6.H-2E Unit 0 Bore Torus Dynamic Restraint Rev. 0007 Snubbers Page 12 of 49 7.4 Installation of the Valves in the Restraint/Surrogate NOTES

1) Prior to installation of the tested valves all 0-rings shall be checked and replaced, if necessary.
2) The screws for the valve covers are only to be tightened snug-tight.

[1] ADD AP 280 hydraulic fluid to the hole for the rear valve. The fluid level shall be approximately equal to the level shown in Illustration 4. [2] INSERT the tested rear valve, then REPLACE the COVER over this valve and SECURE it with the lock washers and screws removed in Step 7.3[7]. See Illustration 2. [3] ADD AP 280 hydraulic fluid to the hole for the front valve. The fluid level shall be approximately equal to the level shown in Illustration 4. [4] ENSURE all of the air in the cross-tie line has been removed. NOTES

1) At the installation of the front valve the shut-off valve to the reservoir opens automatically, repressurizing the restraint.
2) The front valve requires sufficient force added to insert it, due to the pressure on the shut-off valve from the reservoir.

[5] INSERT the tested front valve, then REPLACE the cover over this valve and SECURE it with the lock washers and screws removed in Step 7.3[3]. See Illustration 2. [6] TURN the 2-way ball valve positioner from the slot being in the horizontal to the vertical direction, as shown in position 1 of Illustration 1.

Ifthis is the first test performed on the snubber, the following two windows will appear: [5.3.3] Tare weight Window This window allows the User to "zero out" any offset load that the load cell may be reading. This should be performed BEFORE installing the snubber in the test bench. Wait for the "Raw Reading" to settle (as far as possible), and then Click "Adjust Load Cell". The "Adjustment" will be updated, and the "Adjusted Reading" should now read close to zero (0) lb. The "Adjust Load Cell" button may be Clicked again if a new adjustment value is desired. Once the readings are as desired, Click the "Continue" button. ENSURE the correct load cell is connected to the machine. CHOOSE the proper bushings and pins for the snubber being tested, then INSTALL the bushings in both clevis attachments on the machine. [5.3.4] Stroke and Position Window INSTALL the snubber in the test bench, with the piston or operable end toward the drive piston of the machine, if possible. Adjust the backstop and/or use the Jog Speed Slider to adjust the bench and the driver cylinder to the desired pin to pin dimension. The jog slider adjusts the jog speed. The joystick on the test frame controls the actual motion of the driver. INSTALL the pins through the bushings and the snubber spherical bearings. With the surrogate snubber installed in the horizontal position, REMOVE any tested valves from the surrogate snubber using the steps in Section 7.3, as appropriate.

The oil level should be approximately at the upper edge of the connection bore between the front and rear valve. This can also be accomplished by opening the shut-off-valve by hand. INSERT the valves removed from the existing restraint to be tested, using the steps in Section 7.4, as appropriate. ONCE the snubber has been pinned and the valves installed, the snubber's piston position (distance from the fully retracted position) should be accurately measured (within 0.1 inch) and entered in the SNUBBER EXTENSION window. If the test program calculates that it cannot fully extend or fully retract the snubber during drag testing, one or more of the text windows on the screen will be highlighted in red. If this happens, the backstop will have to be adjusted and the snubber extension recalculated. The program calculates whether it can fully test the snubber through its stroke range. It will display the two ends of stroke (minus a 1/2 inch safety zones), the calculated center position and the bottomed out position for the snubber. Once the data has been successfully entered, TIGHTEN the lock nuts on the load cell threaded rod snug tight to prevent slippage during the test. ENTER the snubber UNID number, WO number, system number, serial number, and test equipment information on Attachment 2 as required, and,Click on "Continue with Test" to continue the test.

During this period, the setpoint and actual pressures are displayed, along with the output voltage, and a "count down" value. When the pressure is near the desired value, the countdown value will decrement towards zero. If the pressure fluctuates out of limits, the countdown will reset to six. Once the pressure is stable enough to let the countdown complete, the test will begin automatically.

                          - OBSERVE that the snubber activates in both directions to establish operability of the snubber in the "As-Found" condition.
                          - RECORD all necessary information on Attachment 2, as appropriate.

NOTE Forcing a test may allow the machine to overstress the snubber during the test! If the user wishes to force a test, clicking the "Force the Test" button will initiate the test regardless of pressure. Clicking the "Abort the Test" button will cause the test cycle to abort without performing the test.

The system will determine the starting position of the snubber, and choose the initial test direction to move towards the farthest end of stroke. The drag speed will be automatically controlled to the target speed set earlier. This test is to VERIFY free travel of the piston rod through its full stroke. The Raw Test Data graphed in real time is reviewed to:

                      - VERIFY that freedom of movement is NOT restricted, and drag force of the snubber does not exceed 15,000 pounds.
                      - RECORD this information on Attachment 2, as appropriate.

[5.3.7] Printing the Results After the test on the surrogate snubber is complete, the calculations appropriate to that test are performed and the results are displayed on the screen. This allows the user to review and determine if the "As-Found" test results meet the "As-Found" acceptance criteria in Section 6.0B, or Section 6.0B.2 for the "As-Left" test, and plot the test results. For Activation tests on acceleration limiting snubbers only, the calculated acceleration lines will be printed if they are displayed on the graph when printing is requested.

                      - If the results are within the acceptance range for the type of test performed, THEN CLICK on the "Print Test" button to open the standard Windows printer dialog box. SELECT the proper printer, and CLICK "OK" to start the printing.

For functional testing of Bergen Paterson snubbers, see O-SI-4.6.H-2C. When snubbers are added, deleted, or changed, based on modifications, they are added or deleted from their appropriate subgroups. If the added snubbers do NOT fit an existing subgroup, a revision to this SI describing the new subgroup or a revision to an existing subgroup is required. There have been no failures of snubbers from subgroup 5; therefore, testing 10 percent of the snubbers in these areas each refueling outage satisfies the intent of the surveillance requirement.

REV 0010 Page 2 MAI-4.10 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides the requirements for new modification and maintenance work to ensure that sufficient space is available for thermal and seismic deflection of piping, components, and supports. Compliance with these requirements will ensure that piping is free to function with the as-analyzed conditions without detrimental contact with other components/features and that all future work performed by plant personnel will not invalidate the analysis of Seismic Class I piping systems or Seismic Class II piping within the water spray program as evaluated by EQE Report 51001.02-ROO1. [See CAQR BFP870631 (R76 870831 894)] 2.0 SCOPE Seismic Class I piping has been analyzed based on as-built data obtained from piping system walkdowns. During the walkdowns, all objects within a 2" envelope of the piping were identified. Using the pipe movement data from the piping analyses, clearances were evaluated and modifications were performed as necessary. Where the piping analyses indicated movement greater than 2", additional walkdowns were performed to identify any potential interferences. In addition to the Seismic Class I piping, Seismic Class II water filled piping was walked down to evaluate water spray hazards for Unit 2 operation. This MAI ensures that future modification and maintenance work does not invalidate these existing clearance evaluations. This procedure applies to the following activities: All new modification and maintenance activities (except for cases where identical replacement components are used) which could compromise the clearance envelope required for piping, components and supports for all units. This is not to be construed to mean that existing objects (previously installed) less than 3" from the pipe need to be reported per this procedure. This only applies when a new item is added or an existing item is moved closer to the pipe than its original position.

REV 0010 Page 4 MAI-4.10 4.0 DEFINITIONS Piping - For the purpose of this MAI, the term "piping" includes not only the pipe itself, but also pipe-mounted components (e.g., valves, flanges, etc.) and pipe supports that may move with the pipe (e.g., rods, snubber, stuts, etc.). "Piping," as used in this document, also encompasses tubing. Clearance Envelope - The space around the piping system/component being evaluated for potential interferences. Responsible Engineer - The engineer responsible for the activity being performed (Mods, SE, etc.). Interference - An unintended restriction of the thermal or seismic displacement of piping. Potential Clearance Discrepancy (PCD) - Any item found infringing upon the clearance envelope as defined in this procedure. Surface - The outermost surface of the adjacent piping or component. Where insulation is required but not yet installed, the "surface" shall be that of the insulation when installed. 5.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 5.1 Site Modifications and Maintenance Assure Maintenance and Modification work is performed without violation of the clearance envelope as defined in section 6.1 and document on tle applicable MAI Data Sheet. If proposed installation creates violation of clearances, a PCD shalli be initiated/checked by Field Engineering (FE) and forwarded to Site Engineering (SE) for approval. 5.2 Site Engineering (SE)

            - Evaluate PCD.
            - If a modification is required to resolve PCD, initiate     a PIC or WO, as applicable.
            - Return dispositioned PCD to Modification/Maintenance.

NOTE: No QC Inspection is required for this Procedure (MAI-4.10). Potential clearance discrepancies that are identified on existing piping listed in section 6.1 shall be identified and documented on MAI-4.10 Data Sheet 1 (PCD) by FE and dispositioned by (SE). New or revised components (Piping, Pipe supports, etc.) are subject to applicable procedure clearance requirements.

REV 0010 Page. 5 MAI-4.10 6.0 PROCEDURE/ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 6.1 Clearance Requirements Seismic Class I piping and Seismic Class II water filled piping is considered as requiring a nominal clearance of 3 inches from the surface (see definitions) to permit thermal and seismic motions without detrimental contacts with any other elements of the plant. Nominal clearance less than 3 inches which are shown and dimensioned on the design drawings are not required to be identified as a discrepancy. All other clearance discrepancies shall be documented on the Potential Clearance Discrepancy (PCD) and submitted to Site Engineering for evaluation.

REV 0010 Page 8 MAI-4.10 6.1 Clearance Requirements (Continued) The clearance requirements apply to piping and all components associated with the piping including valves and their operators, in-line tanks and filters, pumps, equipment, or supports which are not fixed to a foundation and moves with the piping system. If the other component is a pipe, the pipe clearance envelope is doubled. Field activities that infringe upon this 3" envelope shall be documented as defined in this procedure. Clearances from Unit 3 Fire Protection (FP) piping, down stream of the FP Flow Control Valves 3-FCV-26-77 and 3-FCV-26-37 shall be in accordance with Drawing 3-47E491-837. Piping within an instrument panel is excluded from the requirements of this procedure when the piping, and the components within the clearance envelope of the piping, are all attached to the panel. Tubing within tube track is also excluded from the requirements of this procedure, except when the tube track is within 3" of a pipe. Special attention should be paid to equipment with moving parts such as rising stems on valves. Sufficient clearance must be maintained for moving parts to cycle to their limits and still provide minimum required clearance (3") to other components or features. When checking clearance envelope of uninsulated piping, verify that this piping will remain uninsulated, and is not required to be insulated by design output documents. (Refer to 0-47E235 series drawings - System Insulation Boundaries.) All modification or maintenance work in the areas listed below shall meet the clearance requirements of this procedure: minimum of 3" between the surface of the pipe and the modified component or feature.

  • Reactor Building (including the Control Bay)
   "  Reinforced Concrete Chimney
   "   Pumping Station Structure, including the Residual Heat Removal
  • Service Water Intake Structure
  • Diesel Generator Buildings
   "  Equipment Access Lock
   "   Standby Gas Treatment Building
   "  Off Gas Treatment Building
   "  Vacuum Pump Building
   "  Radwaste Building:      exterior wall adjacent to Diesel Generator Building (Waste Surge and Waste Collection Tank Room)

REV 0010 Page 9 MAI-4.10 6.1 Clearance Requirements (Continued) Any infringement of the clearance envelope should be evaluated prior to or at the time of installation to limit the impact should rework be required. NOTE: If the PCD can be eliminated by notching insulation in accordance with Specification G-82, the Responsible Engineer shall submit a Work Order (WO) to have the insulation notched. If insulation notching will not resolve the PCD, the PCD will be transmitted to Site Engineering (SE). 7.0 RECORDS Data Sheet 1 - Potential Clearance Discrepancy Form The completed PCD is a QA record and will be retained as a lifetime record by Records Management (RM). Working files are classified as nonpermanent-QA records. Appropriate requirements are addressed in SPP-2.4. A copy of the completed PCD will be kept with the work document and the original Data Sheet 1 will be transmitted to SE-Lead Civil Engineer prior to/or upon closure of the work document. END OF TEXT

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 4 of 63 1.0 PURPOSE A. This instruction establishes minimum requirements and tolerances for the fabrication, verification, installation, and modification of Class I and II pipe supports and all pipe rupture mitigative devices. Unless otherwise noted, these requirements for pipe supports include the supports for piping and tubing. 2.0 SCOPE This instruction only applies when implemented by specific drawing reference to General Engineering Specification G-43. Pipe support installation and modification shall be in compliance with G-43 and the appropriate plant support design output documents. Any changes in the installation of pipe supports which fall within the tolerances of this specification do not require drawing revisions, or any reference to "as constructed" dimensions, unless specifically stated herein. Where two tolerances in this document appear to conflict (i.e., two separate requirements), the more restrictive tolerance shall govern.

Items classified as quality-related are subject to the requirements of SDP-NEDP-4. SAFETY-RELATED (SR) A category whick includes all those structures, systems, and components that are necessary to ensure: (1) the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, (2) the capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, or (3) the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposure of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 100 (10 CFR 100) or items outside the scope of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B which are included in the Q-List and classified as safety-related due to requirements resulting from TVA commitments. The accomplishment of this safety function is commonly known as Primary Safety Function. Items classified as safety related are subject, without exception, to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. NONQUALITY-RELATED (NQR) A category which includes those structures, systems, and components which are not part of the TVA Quality Assurance Program. The 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, or quality assurance special programs do not apply to items in this classification. SEISMIC CATEGORY - Three different seismic categories exist to which structure, systems, and components are designed and installed in accordance with their safety function to withstand earthquakes. The first category is applied to those structures, systems, and components which perform primary safety functions and are designated as Seismic Class I.

For hydraulic snubbers, the snubber body (or heavier end) should be oriented away from the pipe or pipe clamp, unless otherwise specified in Engineering design documents. For mechanical snubbers, the heavier end should be oriented away from the pipe, but may be installed either way unless specified by note in Engineering design documents. For inclined or vertical mechanical snubbers, the heavier end should be oriented, where possible, such that liquids will drain off rather than collect inside the mechanism. Hydraulic snubbers with a clear plastic gravity-fed external reservoir shall be installed so that the reservoir is in a vertical plane on top of the cylinder. The reservoir vent shall be located over the high end of the cylinder. Use care to align snubbers as closely as possible to avoid forces tending to rotate the pipe clamps or induce bending. The space between the washers of the bracket assemblies or pipe clamp shall not allow more than 1/16" total lateral free movement of the spherical bearing unless justified by the component manufacturer and approved by engineering. Spacers/washers in accordance with Engineering Design documents shall be added to assure this maximum gap is maintained. For Unit 1, due to the potential for damage to occur to a permanent snubber after installation, it may not be practical to install the permanent snubber until all construction activities in the area have been completed. In these cases, a surrogate (substitute) may be fabricated at an onsite fabrication shop and installed at the location of the permanent snubber. For these instances, the attributes to be inspected in the field will be limited to pin to pin dimension and verification of end bracket/clamp alignment in relation to the snubber.

2. Strut Supports Struts, clamps, and attachments shall be installed as specified on the Engineering design documents.

Strut supports are designed to permit variances in nominal distances between piping and building structures. The welding of telescoping elements, etc., should be performed after all alignment of piping and adjusting of support is complete. (See Section 6.2E) Care shall be exercised in the installation of rigid supports to lines which have been previously aligned. Supports shall not be installed such that they are relieving adjacent supports of their load. Care shall be taken not to disturb the alignment or elevation of the pipe. Bearing retention and installation and pin installation in the paddle ends of strut attachments shall be in accordance with engineering design documents. [QA/Cl Staking of carbon steel spherical bearings shall be performed only if the bearing has become dislodged. Install pins in a manner to avoid driving spherical bearings free or damaging them. Pin should be snug but not tight. Light tapping with a fiber mallet is allowed to install pin or reposition spherical bearing. The space between the washers of the bracket assemblies or pipe clamp shall not allow more than 1/16" total lateral free movement of the spherical bearing unless justified by the component manufacturer and approved by engineering. Spacers/washers in accordance with engineering Design documents shall be added to assure this maximum gap is maintained. When arc welding, do not attach ground to strut or any part of the strut which will cause the arcing current to pass through it.

6.1 General Requirements (continued)

3. Constant and Variable Spring Hangers All constant and variable spring supports, clamps, and attachments shall be as specified on the engineering design documents.

Spring supports should be oriented if possible, such that the spring load setting can be observed with minimal effort. Springs may be located anywhere on the rod between support steel or building steel and pipe attachment, unless specifically prohibited on engineering design documents. Variable and constant support springs on nonliquid piping systems (i.e., filled with air, steam, nitrogen, etc.) require travel stops or temporary supports during hydrostatic testing of the lines. The travel stops or temporary supports shall be removed after the testing and prior to any preoperational tests or plant operation. Springs shall show no visible signs of damage such as broken or binding coils, cracked welds, canister deformation or corrosion. Restrain (pin, wedge, etc.) the variable spring support in place after setting to "cold" position. For variable spring supports where a load/travel scale does not exist on the spring can, it is acceptable to locate a spring can of the same manufacturer, series or style, and size (such as Bergen-Paterson VS2 size

9) and measure from a point at the top of the spring can slot down to a point(s) on the load/travel scale that represents the load value(s) needed for spring setting verification or resetting and transfer the measurement(s) to the spring can without the load/travel scale.

It is acceptable to transfer the above type information from one spring can to another since springs of the same manufacturer, series or style, and size have the same physical size and spring rates.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 23 of 63 6.1 General Requirements (continued) NOTE Additional adjustments and inspections to safety related variable spring supports are required after Modification work has been completed per 0-TI-252. The following steps shall be performed to assure compliance with 0-TI-252:

1) The Responsible Engineer/Foreman shall initiate and complete the applicable sections of Data Sheet 4 and forward to Maintenance Technical/Technical Support. The Responsible Engineer/Foreman shall initial/date Data Sheet 1 to indicate this step has been completed.
2) Maintenance Technical/Technical Support shall review Data Sheet 4 and obtain a Work Order number from Maintenance Planning.
3) The Work Order number shall be recorded on Data Sheet 4 and returned to the Responsible Engineer/Foreman.
4) Upon receiving Data Sheet 4 from Maintenance Technical/Technical Support, the Responsible Engineer/Foreman shall record the Work Order number in the appropriate section of Data sheet 1, and initial/date to indicate this step has been completed.

Legible nameplates are required on springs at the time of installation. T. Rigid Supports Care shall be exercised in the installation of rigid supports to lines which have been previously aligned. Supports shall not be installed such that they are relieving adjacent supports of their load. Care shall be taken not to disturb the alignment or elevation of the pipe. U. Instrument Line Supports Attached to Building/Supplemental Steel Attachments to building or supplemental steel requires Engineering approval. A sketch showing the location of the attachment to the building or supplemental steel shall be submitted to Engineering for formal approval using a tolerance of

             + 1".

V. Instrument Line Supports Attached to Supports

1. Engineering approval is required to attach one support to another support.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 26 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued)

2. Temporary Supports NOTES
1) Snubbers do not support the dead weight of the piping and therefore do not require temporary supports prior to removal.
2) All piping systems and associated supports within the drywell and attached to the reactor pressure vessel shall be considered operable regardless of the system operability status when fuel is in the reactor vessel.

The applicable section of MCI-0-000-GNG002 shall be used when installing or removing temporary supports on Class I operable structures, systems, or components. Temporary supports on any inoperable system shall be installed and documented on Data Sheet 2 prior to removing permanent dead weight supports. However, if an existing dead weight support is to be replaced by a new dead weight support, a temporary support is not required if the new support is installed before the existing support is removed. This shall be so noted in the comments section of Data Sheet 2 when applicable.

a. These temporary supports may be cables, rod, or specially fabricated devices. Temporary supports should permit positioning and securing of the piping in its final position until the permanent supports are installed. (See Section 6.2E.2, Option II)
b. Temporary supports shall be identifiable for easy recognition.

Temporary supports such as wood, chain hoists, and cable which are easily recognized without distinctive coloring need not be painted.

c. It is recommended that temporary supports be painted a distinctive color.
d. Temporary supports shall not be supported off existing pipe or supports or where damage to the supporting structure may occur (wide flanges, grating, etc.) without approval of Engineering.

instrument line, conduit, etc.) are affected, the Responsible Engineer or Planner shall obtain Site Engineering approval. The permanent removal of supports shall be documented on Data Sheet 1 or 3 as appropriate. Data Sheet 1 shall be used for removing a support and installing a new support in its place. Data Sheet 3 shall be used only when an existing support is being permanently removed and a new support is not installed in its place. All permanent supports required to be removed should be identified or adequately located on the design documents to assure removal of the correct support. When supports are identified on design drawings to be removed, the responsible engineering/planner shall prepare Data Sheets 3 for each support to be removed. The design drawings shall be used to locate the supports. When supports are not uniquely identified on design drawings, the Responsible Engineer, craft foreman, or planner will be required to determine the location and actual number of supports to be removed. The Responsible Engineer/Planner shall prepare Data Sheet 3 for supports, and initiate Attachment 6 (Permanent Support Removal Sketch) to identify the general location of the supports to be removed. Line verification of permanent support removal is not required.

4. Temporary Removal of Existing Support NOTE Removal of an existing support for purposes of relocation shall be handled by the work instruction.

[QNC] Use the applicable sections of MCI-0-000-GNG002 when removing and reinstalling supports where no design drawing exist, the design information is incomplete, or the support is being removed to facilitate construction and later reinstalled. [CAQR BFN 900112P]

b. Clearances between the new support or modified components of an existing support and pipe shall be verified to the requirements of MAI-4. 10.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 30 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued) C. New Support on Existing Piping

1. All the requirements specified in Section 6.2B are applicable for this type of installation with the exception of location criteria of Section 6.2B.1.
2. Location and Configuration of Pipe Supports The support drawing key plan or elevation view shall be used to locate the support from a piping feature.

Support locations on piping are determined by dimensions given from piping components or fittings. Dimensions presented from column lines, azimuths, and floor/ceiling elevations are intended as reference information only. In no case shall the pipe location tolerance change the direction or function of a restraint such as by moving around an elbow, bend, or branch.

3. Capping Open Ended Tube Steel All structural steel tubing positioned so that it could collect water in areas subject to freezing conditions or collect trash shall be capped with a minimum 1/4 inch thickness A-36 plate. The cap plate shall be attached to the tubing using appropriate weld procedure in accordance with MMDP-10.

QC shall not inspect the weld. The inside of the tube steel shall be free of water and debris before capping. A 1/4" weep hole may be drilled in the tube steel to allow any collected water to be removed from enclosed structural section. The weep hole shall be within 1" of the bottom of the tube.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 31 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued) NOTE These weld caps or weep holes will not necessarily be shown on NE support drawings.

4. Relocation of Supports
a. Support relocation tolerances are specified in Table 6.2.3.4. To select the relocation tolerance, it must be determined if the support is classified as "adjacent" or "non-adjacent" to a Valve, Anchor, Equipment Nozzle, Elbow, Branch, or Tee. This classification is dependent on the distance between the Design location of the centerline of the support and the nearest weld point on the Valve, Anchor, Equipment Nozzle, Elbow, Branch, or Tee.
b. Table 6.2.3.4 provides the most restrictive tolerances for all cases derived from G-43. If a support cannot be installed within these limits, the responsible engineer may determine the maximum tolerance allowed by G-43 and specify the acceptable tolerances on Data Sheet 1. In no case will G-43 provide a tolerance greater than +/- 6" for 6" and under pipe or one pipe diameter for over 6" pipe.

1) A support is defined as "adjacent" when the design dimension between the centerline of the support and the nearest weld point on Valve, Anchor, Equipment Nozzle, Elbow, Branch, or Tee is located within the distance shown in Table 6.2.3.4, Column A.

For Threaded or Flanged Components the connecting face of the component shall be considered the weld joint.

2) For supports with more than one pipe, the support relocation tolerance is to be determined for each pipe. The most restrictive tolerance is then to be applied.
5. Relocation of Supports Near Piping Welds
a. Although not mandatory, pipe clamps and/or bolted construction supports should not be installed directly over circumferential welds when such installations can be avoided.
b. Supports fabricated from structural shapes by welding (i.e., not easily disassembled) shall not be installed directly over circumferential welds that are required to be in-service examined. (See 1,2,3-SI-4.6.G, and SPP-9.1 to determine ISI requirements.)

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 33 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued)

c. Using the limits established in Section 6.2C.4 supports should be positioned on the piping to permit in-service verification and testing of piping welds as follows:

(1) ASME Class 1 and 2 piping (TVA Class A, B, C, D) provide at least 2T + 2" (T = piping nominal wall thickness) or 6" (whichever is larger) clear access to piping welds from one side that requires in-service inspection. (2) ASME Class 3 and ANSI B31.1 or B31.5 piping (All other TVA Classes) - Provide clear visual access to piping welds where possible.

6. Location of Integral Attachments The minimum required edge distance between an integral attachment and a pipe weld or other discontinuity is provided by the table below:

Nominal STD Pipe Size D (Inches) 3 inches and under 1 3 1/2 inches to 6 inches 1.6 8 inches to 12 inches 2.75 14 inches to 18 inches 3.80 20 inches to 24 inches 5.10 For larger sizes, use actual value (Rmt)/. Smaller actual values for (Rmt)/ may be calculated using the actual pipe size and wall thickness. A smaller edge distance may be acceptable by calculating (RmtA)/2 where: Rm = Mean radius of the pipe t = Nominal pipe wall thickness or as specified by the Engineering design document. Lugs designed to be placed on pipe shall not be moved onto a fitting in order to satisfy this clearance criteria. The radial face of lugs which are welded to the process pipe or welded to clamps on the process pipe may be ground down to provide proper clearance in rigid supports if the lug is loaded in a radial direction only. Provisions must be made to prevent damage to the process pipe during grinding.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 34 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued) D. Supports On New Piping All the requirements as specified in Section 6.2C shall apply. Also instructions given in Section 6.2E shall be followed after selecting Option I or Option II for support installations. E. Optional Support Installation Instructions

1. Option I: Install Piping Before Supports Piping supported by temporary supports shall not be forced into position to permit permanent support installation. Permanent supports can be installed in any sequence but preferably in the sequence listed below:
a. Install remaining vertical adjustable supports and adjust to begin taking tension.
b. Install lateral struts with the pin on one end removed; adjust until the pin can be installed without moving the pipe.
c. Assemble rigid supports around pipe. Use shims to provide proper clearance. Ensure that all final vertical rigid supports, saddles, slides, etc., actually contact the pipe (see Attachment 2 Section 1.0B.2 for exceptions). Shims shall be left in position while support welds are made.
d. Complete installation of in-line anchors. Weld lugs to pipe at axial supports requiring lugs.
e. Remove temporary supports (see Section 6.2B.2).
f. Install snubber(s) and adjust to the set position indicated.
g. A final support verification should ensure that all temporary shims have been removed. Adjust all rods, turnbuckles, and struts to ensure that the pipe is "sifting on" all vertical rigid saddles, guides, etc. If pipe is not contacting vertical rigid supports, permanently shim or modify support to provide rigid contact (see Attachment 2, Section 1.0B.2 for exceptions).
h. With the line insulated and waterlines filled, adjust spring hanger to the point where spring pins can be removed. (Adjust to set position specified on drawing.)

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 35 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued)

2. Option II- Install Supports Prior to Piping
a. Step 1: Install equipment.
b. Step 2: Install all vertical supports. Provide a means for getting the pipe in place.

Anchors may be treated as rigid supports or shop welded to the pipe subassembly if provisions for adjustment of the support structure are provided.

c. Step 3: Begin erection of the pipe by laying any number of pipe assemblies in place using all rigid supports, struts, rod hangers, and spring hangers (with pins installed) to support the pipe. When adjacent pipe assemblies are in place, use the following alignment procedure:

(1) Provide proper clearance for all rigid supports by shims. (2) Adjust supports to align adjacent pipe assemblies. Do not use force to align adjacent assemblies. (3) Weld or bolt adjacent assemblies together as applicable. If any section of pipe, valve, anchor flange, or similar in-line subassembly is not available, ensure proper alignment by installing a temporary in-line subassembly or fabricating a continuous piece of pipe with the intent of removing a section of pipe later.

d. Step 4: Complete permanent support installation in any sequence as follows:

(1) Complete installation of in-line anchors. Weld lugs to pipe at axial supports requiring lugs. (2) Install lateral struts. With the pin on one end removed, adjust until the pin can be installed without moving the pipe. (3) Install snubber(s) and adjust until it is positioned to permit travel as indicated on the support drawing.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 36 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued)

e. Step 5: The closure connection can be made at any time after the following conditions are met:

(1) All piping is in place or sufficient piping adjacent to the closure connection is in place to ensure that subsequent assembly of piping will not cause a preload on the connection. Piping supported on final vertical supports for a minimum of three vertical supports from the closure connection will meet the intent of this requirement. (2) The final supports have been adjusted to line up the closure connection for final assembly to within 1/16" of the final position while swinging free on the supports. (3) The shims in the three lateral rigid supports closest to the equipment nozzle are in place. Only those rigid supports within three bends (45 degrees or greater) or three deadload supports of the equipment, whichever is greater, shall be considered within the scope of this requirement.

f. Step 6: Once all pipe assemblies and supports are installed, adjust all vertical supports to be in tension. If the pipe is not contacting vertical rigid supports, permanently shim or modify to provide vertical contact.

Where permanent supports are used to align pipe for final closure welds, there should be no vertical gaps (support must contact bottom of pipe), but after pipe is completely welded and all supports are installed and adjusted, the support gap may be verified to the requirements of Attachment 2, Section 1.0B.2.

g. Step 7: With the line insulated and water lines filled, adjust spring hangers to the point where spring pins can be removed.

1. When the work implementing document, DCN, etc., specifies for bolting to be installed per the design pipe support general notes drawings 0-47B435 series, the installation shall be documented on Data Sheet 1 of MAI-4.2A.

When the work implementing document, DCN, etc., specifies bolting to be installed in accordance with P.S. 4.M.4.4 (or if no reference is specified), bolting shall be installed and documented in accordance with MAI-5.2.

2. At the time of the final hanger verification for SA/A307 bolts, the Craft and QCN Inspector shall verify all threaded connections are "Snug Tight". The term "snug tight" refers to the tightness required to pull the members to be clamped by the fastener into full seat or contact. Properly performed, snug tightening will result in a connection where the clamped members of the joint are in full designed contact and the nut or bolt cannot be loosened by hand. The snug tightening of bolts shall be accomplished using the following criteria. [NRC Report 85-26] QCN inspection of snug tightness shall be verification that the nut cannot be loosened by hand.
a. Bolts 1" and Larger in Diameter "Snug tight" may be achieved with a few impacts of an impact wrench, the full effort of a person using an ordinary spud wrench, an unmodified commercial open-end wrench or a sprocket type ratchet.
b. Bolts Less Than 1" in Diameter "Snug tight" may be achieved by any of the methods in item (1) above, except that the effort involved shall be less than a full effort and only 2 or 3 impacts of an impact wrench such that the fastener cannot be loosened by hand.

G. Structural Attachments Attachments to embedded plates shall be in accordance with the provisions of MAI-5.9, unless specifically shown otherwise on the support design drawing. H. Trapeze-type Supports Tolerances for trapeze-type supports are specified in Attachment 4, Figure D1.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 38 of 63 6.2 Installation Instructions (continued) I. Welding Welds shall be as detailed on the engineering design documents. Welding and NDE shall be in accordance with MMDP-10. Welds made by TVA and designated as shop welds on Engineering design drawings may be welded as field welds, and those designated as field welds may be welded in the shop. When all around welds are detailed for the connection of an open structural member to a member of the same size, the welds at the tip of the leg or flange may be deleted as shown in Attachment 4, Figure D2.

Unistrut Attachments Unistrut Clamps Used as Guides (two direction restraint): When a Unistrut pipe strap (clamp - P2558) assembly is specified with washers, the washer width (w) and length (L) shall be sized in accordance with the table below. A washer thickness (t) sized in accordance with the table below will normally ensure the gap requirements of Attachment 2 are satisfied for most of the fabrication tolerances associated with the clamp and pipe. Because the gap requirements may not be satisfied for all the fabrication tolerances, the gap shall be checked, and if required, the clamp and/or the washer thickness adjusted to ensure the requirements of Attachment 2 are satisfied. 3 PLATE WASHER TABLE PIPE SIZE 1/2" 3/4"-1 1/4" 1-1/2" 2" - 4" 5" - 6" ti 1/8" 5/32" 3/16" 3/16" 7/32" W2 1" 1" 1" 1-5/8" 1-5/8" L2 1-5/8" 1-5/8" 1-5/8" 1-5/8" 1-5/8" HOLE DIA. 9/32" 9/32" 9/32" 13/32" 13/32" Thickness values other than those listed in this table may be used as long as the gap requirements of Attachment 2, Section 1.OE, Table 1, are satisfied. 2 Width (w) and length (L) tolerance is +1/8",-0". 3 The plate washers are to be fabricated using A36, A569 or A570 material. These rectangular washers, when installed between the clamp and the unistrut, prevent the clamp from axially restraining the pipe and allow the pipe to slide in the clamp. When specified on the support design drawing, the loading condition will determine whether washers are used or not. For two directions of restraint, washers shall be installed and for three directions of restraint, washers shall be omitted.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 42 of 63 Attachment I (Page 1 of 2) Support Fabrication Tolerances NOTE The following tolerances shall not apply.

1) If the specific support drawing gives more restrictive tolerances.
2) If the specific support drawing refers to the General notes drawing such as 47B435 series which includes these type of tolerances.

Plates and Baseplates A. For plates and baseplates (excluding integral lugs), the width and length dimensional tolerance is +/- 1/4-inch. The thickness may be increased a maximum of 1/4" provided attachment weld size is increased as applicable to meet AISC minimum weld size requirements and maximum attachment thickness in accordance with MAI-5.1B and MAI-5.1C is not exceeded. Integral Lugs B. For integral lugs, the length and height dimensional tolerance is + 1/16 inch and -0 inch. Lug thickness may vary only as permitted by mill tolerances. Structural Members (Angles, Channels, Plates, Beams, etc.) C. For structural members, the member dimensions from building structure to pipe centerline (support point) may be increased or decreased up to 2" to accommodate building or pipe installation tolerances. Internal members of frames may be cut to fit provided all other members meet applicable length tolerances. An erection tolerance of

    +/- 1/4" is allowed for all dimensions pertaining to the pipe support shown on the pipe support drawings, unless otherwise addressed in this document.

D. For nonloaded support overhangs, the length of overhang may be increased by 1/6 of the depth of the member or 2", whichever is greater. E. Rod diameter = + 1/4", -0" F. Angles (except knee braces) = +/- 2 degrees

Attachment I (Page 2 of 2) G. Bolt hole diameter

1. For fasteners subjected to shear, other than baseplates, the hole diameter shall be no more than 1/16" larger than the nominal diameter of the fastener.
2. For fasteners subjected to tension only, such as those used for the attachment of struts, rod hangers, spring hangers, and snubbers, the hole shall be no more than 1/8" larger than the nominal diameter of the fastener for all sizes.
3. Holes in baseplates for concrete anchors may be oversized by a maximum of 1/8" based upon the nominal bolt anchor size. Baseplates with oversize holes in excess of this limit shall be repaired in accordance with MAI-5.9, unless specifically shown otherwise on the support design drawing. Baseplate holes shall be drilled.

Attachment 2 (Page 1 of 3) Support Installation Tolerances 1.0 INSTALLATION TOLERANCES A. Component Standard Support Component Standard Support (Except Sway Struts and Snubbers) [NRC/C] The tolerance of the installation shall be within the range of support adjustment. Full thread engagement of all parts must be maintained. Locking nuts will be acceptable when 50 percent thread engagement of a heavy hex nut is obtained. [NRC Report 85-26] B. Rigid Supports

1. Out-of-roundness of the pipe is a tolerance which must be accommodated.

The inside-to-inside dimension of a support intended to provide lateral support to a pipe shall be interpreted as approximate. The support shall be fabricated around the pipe and shall accommodate this out-of-roundness. All vertical deadweight supports shall be in contact with the pipe upon initial installation.

2. Rigid support drawings typically specify a 1/16" gap between the pipe and the support. The following rules apply to the installation of this type of support:
a. A temporary shim may be used in the fit-up stage of all rigid supports to provide the 1/16" clearance before the installation welding is performed. The temporary shim shall be removed prior to the pipe support acceptance.
b. Note that once the temporary shims are pulled, the clearance may change. This can be caused either by weld shrinkage or expansion of the piping system due to changes in the ambient temperature. This is of no consequence, and no further gap adjustment is required provided the total gap requirements of Section B.2.b.3 are met.
c. Prefabricated and fabricated-in-place supports shall maintain a maximum total gap of 5/32" and a minimum total gap of 1/16". Total gap is the sum of the two gaps on each side of the pipe. The pipe may contact the support on one side provided the total gap tolerance is met. Section B.6 gives additional criteria for minimum total support gap.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 45 of 63 Attachment 2 (Page 2 of 3) 1.0 INSTALLATION TOLERANCES (continued) C. Support members welded to plates which are attached to the building structure by bolting may be located up to 1/2" from the position specified on the support detail sheet. (Plate misalignment may be required to permit installation of concrete anchors.) D. The radial face of lugs which are welded to the process pipe or welded to clamps on the process pipe may be ground down to provide proper clearance in rigid supports if the lugs are located in a radial direction only. Provisions must be made to prevent damage to the process pipe during grinding. E. Shims Shims may be installed to maintain proper clearance between the pipe and the support. Shims shall not be used to correct designs which exceed the tolerance limitations specified above. No shim less than 1/16" thick or greater than 1" thick shall be used. Additional requirements are provided on Attachment 8, Figures H.1 and H.2. The shim size provided in Attachment 8, Figure H.1 is for two-way box type supports only. Shims added to other type supports shall be sized considering pipe movements to ensure restraint during all operating conditions. Shimming material shall be compatible with the material in contact with the pipe for weldability and not producing corrosion through galvanic action. Interfaces between carbon steel and stainless steel shall meet the requirements of G-29, Process Specification 4.M.1.1. The weld sizes for all shim plates shall be as specified on Attachment 8.

BFN TVA-BFNP Piping/Tubing Supports MAI-4.2A Unit 0 Rev. 0038 Page 46 of 63 Attachment 2 (Page 3 of 3) 1.0 INSTALLATION TOLERANCES (continued) NOTE SHIMS AND WELDS INSTALLED PER THIS SECTION NEED NOT BE SHOWN ON THE SUPPORT DRAWING. F. Minimum Total Support Gap Criteria Where support drawings show 1/16" or 1/8" gap, Section B.2.b provides a tolerance of a maximum total gap of 5/32" and a minimum total gap of 1/16". Gaps less than 1/16" are acceptable when the criteria in Table 1 are met. Table 1 lists various pipe sizes, operating temperatures, and the respective gap requirements. Piping design temperature may be used if operating temperature is not available. Temperature used may be obtained from flow diagrams, operating mode drawings, or mechanical piping drawing and must be recorded (in IF) on the verification data sheet.

If any are found to be dislodged, notify the Site Engineering Lead Civil Engineer for instruction. When a strut or snubber contains a carbon steel spherical bearing, which has become dislodged, the spherical bearing shall be staked as described below, unless it has already been previously staked. If the bearing has been staked previously, contact the Site Engineering Lead Civil Engineer for needed corrective action. If a spherical bearing is found to be dislodged from the paddle housing, reinsert by carefully pressing or tapping on the outer race. Use a Bergen Paterson bearing installation tool or an appropriate sized pipe to assure proper alignment. After the spherical bearing has been reinserted into the paddle, use a center punch and move approximately 1/32" away from the exterior of the spherical bearing race and with as little force as possible make 4 punch indentations equally spaced around the race at approximately 90 degrees apart on both sides of the paddle. The punch indentations should displace a small amount of metal over the edge of the exterior spherical bearing race to keep it from dislodging again. The spherical bearing race is a hardened material and shall be looked at very closely to ensure that the staking process has not damaged the race in any way (i.e., such as cracking, deforming, or spalling). Ensure that the ball moves with little force in the race. If the ball sticks or binds, rotate it to expose the exterior surface and place a small amount of Never-Seize compound on it. Move the ball around until it moves with little force. If unable to move the ball with little force after this, contact the Site Engineering Lead Civil Engineer to evaluate the spherical bearing. The following is a list of Bergen-Paterson part numbers for strut and snubber assemblies which use carbon steel and stainless steel spherical bearings.
