functioncil testing on 10% of the total number of installed mechanical snubbers, during each Plant Refueling Outage. In addition, for each type of snubber that does not meet the acceptance criteria an additional 10% of that type of snubber shall be functionally tested. Wyle Laboratories was brought on site.with their mobile snubber testing trailer to perform the tests. The first (10%) sample included eleven (11) snubbers of which one (1) PSA-1/4 failed. Due to this failure, an additional 10% were selected for the testing. The second (10%) sample, a total of eight: (8) snubbers, were tested of which two (2) ( [l] PSA-1/2 and [l] PSA-3) failed. At this time, it was decided to test the remaining.
population of mechanical snubbers based on prior failure rates on small bore PSA mechanical snubbers.

13.l Summary Due to this bulletin, all steam generator primary manway closure bolts were examined in accordance with the following:
Prior to performing the visual and magnetic particle examinations, the bolts were modified by Catalytic, Inc. by milling the bolt head top surface for ultrasonic bolt torque measurement.
These bolts were visually .examined (Cataltyic, QC) with no recordable indications, and then magnetic particle examined (Magnaflux Quality Services), which showed a repeatable indication on the bolt shank on 90% of all bolts. This indication was determined to be due to the vise used in the milling process described above. An acceptable liquid penetrant examination Page 26 of 28 :*.*:.
