~~4. | Snubbers which appear inoperable as a result of visual inspections shall be classified as 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 Specification 4.14.1e.All snubbers found connected to an inoperable common hydraulic fluid reservoir shall be counted as unacceptable for determining the next inspection interval.A review and evaluation shall be performed and documented to justify continued operation with an unacceptable snubber.If continued operation cannot be justified, the snubber shall be declared inoperable and the ACTION requirement shall be met.Amendment No.4.14-2 Proposed TABLE 4.14-1 SNUBBER VISUAL INSPECTION INTERVAL NUMBER OF UNACCEPTABLE SNUBBERS Ref.Note 7 Population or Category Notes 1 and 2 Column A Extend Interval Notes 3 and 6 Column B Repeat Interval Notes 4 and 6 Column C Reduce Interval Notes 5 and 6 80 100 150 200 13 300 12 25 400 18 36 500 12 24 48 750 1000 or greater 20 29 40 56 78 109 Note 1: The next visual inspection interval for a snubber population or category size shall be determined based upon the previous inspection interval and the number of unacceptable snubbers found during that interval.Snubbers may be categorized, based upon their accessibility during power operation, as accessible or inaccessible. | ||
These categories may be examined separately or jointly.However, this decision must be Amendment No.P 4.14-3 Proposed TABLE 4.14-1 (continued) | |||
Note 2: Note 3: Note 4: Note 5: Note 6: Note 7: documented before any inspection and shall be used as the basis upon which to determine the next inspection interval for that category.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. | |||
If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column A, the next inspection interval may be twice the previous interval but not greater than 48 months.If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column B but greater than the number in Column A, the next inspection interval shall be the same as the previous interval.If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or greater than the number in Column C, the next inspection interval shall be two-thirds of the previous interval.However, if the number of unacceptable snubbers is less than the number in Column C but greater than the number in Column B, the next interval shall be reduced proportionally by interpolation, that is, the previous interval shall be reduced by a factor that is one-third of the ratio of the difference between the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous interval and the number in Column B to the difference in the numbers in Column B and C.The provisions of Specification Section 4.0 are applicable for all inspection intervals up to and including 48 months.To determine the next surveillance interval, an unacceptable snubber may be reclassified as acceptable if it can be demonstrated that the snubber is operable in its as-found condition by performance if a functional test and if it satisfies the acceptance criteria for functional testing.Amendment No.4.14-4 Proposed At least once per 18 months during shutdown, a representative sample (at least 10'f the snubbers required by Specification 3e13)shall be functionally tested either in place or in a bench test.For each snubber that does not meet the functional test acceptance criteria of Specification 4.14.1e, an additional 10'f the snubbers shall be functionally tested until no more failures are found or until all snubbers have been functionally tested.The representative sample selected for functional testing shall, as far as practical, include the various configurations, operating environments, range of sizes and capacities of snubbers.In addition to the regular sample, snubbers placed in the same locations as snubbers which failed the previous functional test shall be retested at the time of the next functional test.Additionally, if a failed snubber has been repaired and reinstalled in another location, that failed snubber shall also be retested.These snubbers shall not be included in the regular sample.If during the functional testing, additional sampling is I Proposed Amendment No.Pj/4.14-5 requir'ed due to failure of only one type of snubber, the functional testing results shall be reviewed at that time to determine if additional samples should be limited to the type of snubber which has failed the functional testing. | |||
4.14.1.e.~.~Functional Test Acce tance Criteria The snubber functional test shall verify that: 1)Activation (restraining action)is achieved within the specified range in both tension and compression; 2)Snubber bleed, or release rate where required, is present in both tension and compression, within the specified range;3)Where required, the force required to initiate or maintain motion of the snubber is within the specified range in both directions of travell and 4)For snubbers specifically required not to displace under continuous load, the ability of the snubber to withstand load without displacement is verified.Testing methods may be used to measure parameters indirectly or parameters other than those specified if those results can be correlated to the specified parameters through established methods.Functional Test Failure Anal sis An analysis shall be made of each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria to determine the cause of the failure.The results of this analysis Amendment No.gjf 4.14-6 Proposed shall be used, if applicable, in selecting snubbers to be tested in an effort to determine the operability of other snubbers, irrespective of type, which may be subject to the same failure mode.For the specific case of a snubber selected for functional testing which either fails to activate or fails to move, i.e., frozen-in-place, the cause will be evaluated and, if caused by manufacturer or design deficiency, all snubbers of the same type subject to the same defect shall be functionally tested or evaluated in a manner to ensure their operability. | |||
Any testing performed as part of this requirement shall be independent of the requirements stated in Specification 4.14.1d for snubbers not meeting the functional test acceptance criteria.For any snubbers found inoperable, an engineering evaluation shall be performed on the components to which the inoperable snubbers are attached.The purpose of this engineering evaluation shall be to determine if the components to which the inoperable snubbers are attached were adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubbers in order to ensure that the component remains capable of meeting the designed service.Amendment No.P 4.14-7 Proposed | |||
~...~4.14.1.g Snubber Seal Service Life Monitorzn The seal service life of hydraulic snubbers shall be monitored and seals replaced as required to ensure that the service life is not exceeded between surveillance inspections during a period when the snubber is required to be operable.The seal replacements shall be documented and the documentation shall be retained in accordance with Technical Specification 6.10.2.Basis Snubbers are provided to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads.The visual inspection frequency is based on the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous inspection in proportion to the sizes of the various snubber populations or categories. | |||
A snubber is considered unacceptable if it fails the acceptance criteria delineated by Specification 4.14.1.c.The visual inspection interval is based upon the previous inspection interval and may be as long as two fuel cycles, not to exceed 48 months, depending on the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous visual inspection. | |||
Interpolation | Amendment No.4.14-8 Proposed Basis continued Unacceptable snubbers shall be evaluated to determine if they are inoperable. | ||
For inoperable snubbers the applicable action requirements shall be met.When, a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation of the supported component is performed in order to determine if any safety-related component or system has been adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubber.This evaluation is in addition to the determination of the snubber mode of failure.The engineering evaluation shall determine whether or not the snubber failure has imparted a significant effect on or caused degradation of the supported component or system, to ensure they remain capable of meeting'he designed service.When the cause of the rejection of a snubber is clearly established and remedied for that snubber and for any other snubbers that may be generically susceptible, and verified by inservice functional testing, that snubber may be exempted from being counted as inoperable. | |||
Generically susceptible snubbers are those which are of a specific make or model and have the same design features directly related to the snubber rejected or are those which are similarly located or exposed to the same environmental conditions such as temperature, radiation, and vibration. | |||
To determine the next surveillance interval, an unacceptable snubber may be reclassified as acceptable if it can be demonstrated that the snubber is operable in its as-found condition by performance of a functional test and if it satisfies the acceptance criteria for functional testing.Amendment No.jf/I 4.14-9 Proposed Basis continued To provide assurance of snubber functional reliability, a representative sample of the installed snubbers will be functionally tested during plant shutdowns at less than or equal to 18 month intervals. | |||
However, | Observed failures of these sample snubbers shall require functional testing of additional units.Hydraulic snubbers and mechanical snubbers may each be treated as a different entity for the above surveillance programs.The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and engineering information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and functional design requirements. | ||
The only snubber components with service lives not expected to exceed plant life are seals and o-rings fabricated from certain seal materials. | |||
Therefore, a seal replacement program is required to monitor snubber seal and o-ring service life to assure snubber operability is not degraded due to exceeding component service life.Amendment No.4.14-10 Proposed}} | |||

Note 2: Note 3: Note 4: Note 5: Note 6: Note 7: documented before any inspection and shall be used as the basis upon which to determine the next inspection interval for that category.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.
If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column A, the next inspection interval may be twice the previous interval but not greater than 48 months.If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the number in Column B but greater than the number in Column A, the next inspection interval shall be the same as the previous interval.If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or greater than the number in Column C, the next inspection interval shall be two-thirds of the previous interval.However, if the number of unacceptable snubbers is less than the number in Column C but greater than the number in Column B, the next interval shall be reduced proportionally by interpolation, that is, the previous interval shall be reduced by a factor that is one-third of the ratio of the difference between the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous interval and the number in Column B to the difference in the numbers in Column B and C.The provisions of Specification Section 4.0 are applicable for all inspection intervals up to and including 48 months.To determine the next surveillance interval, an unacceptable snubber may be reclassified as acceptable if it can be demonstrated that the snubber is operable in its as-found condition by performance if a functional test and if it satisfies the acceptance criteria for functional testing.Amendment No.4.14-4 Proposed At least once per 18 months during shutdown, a representative sample (at least 10'f the snubbers required by Specification 3e13)shall be functionally tested either in place or in a bench test.For each snubber that does not meet the functional test acceptance criteria of Specification 4.14.1e, an additional 10'f the snubbers shall be functionally tested until no more failures are found or until all snubbers have been functionally tested.The representative sample selected for functional testing shall, as far as practical, include the various configurations, operating environments, range of sizes and capacities of snubbers.In addition to the regular sample, snubbers placed in the same locations as snubbers which failed the previous functional test shall be retested at the time of the next functional test.Additionally, if a failed snubber has been repaired and reinstalled in another location, that failed snubber shall also be retested.These snubbers shall not be included in the regular sample.If during the functional testing, additional sampling is I Proposed Amendment No.Pj/4.14-5 requir'ed due to failure of only one type of snubber, the functional testing results shall be reviewed at that time to determine if additional samples should be limited to the type of snubber which has failed the functional testing.
4.14.1.e.~.~Functional Test Acce tance Criteria The snubber functional test shall verify that: 1)Activation (restraining action)is achieved within the specified range in both tension and compression; 2)Snubber bleed, or release rate where required, is present in both tension and compression, within the specified range;3)Where required, the force required to initiate or maintain motion of the snubber is within the specified range in both directions of travell and 4)For snubbers specifically required not to displace under continuous load, the ability of the snubber to withstand load without displacement is verified.Testing methods may be used to measure parameters indirectly or parameters other than those specified if those results can be correlated to the specified parameters through established methods.Functional Test Failure Anal sis An analysis shall be made of each failure to meet the functional test acceptance criteria to determine the cause of the failure.The results of this analysis Amendment No.gjf 4.14-6 Proposed shall be used, if applicable, in selecting snubbers to be tested in an effort to determine the operability of other snubbers, irrespective of type, which may be subject to the same failure mode.For the specific case of a snubber selected for functional testing which either fails to activate or fails to move, i.e., frozen-in-place, the cause will be evaluated and, if caused by manufacturer or design deficiency, all snubbers of the same type subject to the same defect shall be functionally tested or evaluated in a manner to ensure their operability.
Any testing performed as part of this requirement shall be independent of the requirements stated in Specification 4.14.1d for snubbers not meeting the functional test acceptance criteria.For any snubbers found inoperable, an engineering evaluation shall be performed on the components to which the inoperable snubbers are attached.The purpose of this engineering evaluation shall be to determine if the components to which the inoperable snubbers are attached were adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubbers in order to ensure that the component remains capable of meeting the designed service.Amendment No.P 4.14-7 Proposed
~...~4.14.1.g Snubber Seal Service Life Monitorzn The seal service life of hydraulic snubbers shall be monitored and seals replaced as required to ensure that the service life is not exceeded between surveillance inspections during a period when the snubber is required to be operable.The seal replacements shall be documented and the documentation shall be retained in accordance with Technical Specification 6.10.2.Basis Snubbers are provided to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads.The visual inspection frequency is based on the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous inspection in proportion to the sizes of the various snubber populations or categories.
A snubber is considered unacceptable if it fails the acceptance criteria delineated by Specification 4.14.1.c.The visual inspection interval is based upon the previous inspection interval and may be as long as two fuel cycles, not to exceed 48 months, depending on the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous visual inspection.
Amendment No.4.14-8 Proposed Basis continued Unacceptable snubbers shall be evaluated to determine if they are inoperable.
For inoperable snubbers the applicable action requirements shall be met.When, a snubber is found inoperable, an engineering evaluation of the supported component is performed in order to determine if any safety-related component or system has been adversely affected by the inoperability of the snubber.This evaluation is in addition to the determination of the snubber mode of failure.The engineering evaluation shall determine whether or not the snubber failure has imparted a significant effect on or caused degradation of the supported component or system, to ensure they remain capable of meeting'he designed service.When the cause of the rejection of a snubber is clearly established and remedied for that snubber and for any other snubbers that may be generically susceptible, and verified by inservice functional testing, that snubber may be exempted from being counted as inoperable.
Generically susceptible snubbers are those which are of a specific make or model and have the same design features directly related to the snubber rejected or are those which are similarly located or exposed to the same environmental conditions such as temperature, radiation, and vibration.
To determine the next surveillance interval, an unacceptable snubber may be reclassified as acceptable if it can be demonstrated that the snubber is operable in its as-found condition by performance of a functional test and if it satisfies the acceptance criteria for functional testing.Amendment No.jf/I 4.14-9 Proposed Basis continued To provide assurance of snubber functional reliability, a representative sample of the installed snubbers will be functionally tested during plant shutdowns at less than or equal to 18 month intervals.
Observed failures of these sample snubbers shall require functional testing of additional units.Hydraulic snubbers and mechanical snubbers may each be treated as a different entity for the above surveillance programs.The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and engineering information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and functional design requirements.
The only snubber components with service lives not expected to exceed plant life are seals and o-rings fabricated from certain seal materials.
Therefore, a seal replacement program is required to monitor snubber seal and o-ring service life to assure snubber operability is not degraded due to exceeding component service life.Amendment No.4.14-10 Proposed
