Table 4.7 2 (continued)

SNUBBER VISUAL INSPECTION INTERVAL Note 4: If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or less than the Cclumn 8-but greater than the number in Column A, the next inspection shall be the same as the previous interval.

- Note 5: If the number of unacceptable snubbers is equal to or areater than the number in Column 4, the next inspection interva.1 shall be two-thirds of the previcJs interval. However, if the number of unaccep-table snubbers is 'iess than the number in Column C but greater than 3 -

the number in Colt.mn B, t'te next interval . shall be ' reduced propor-tionally by inte polation,. that is, the previous interval shall be '

reduced by a factor that is one third of the ratio of the (ifference between the number of unacceptable snubbers found during the previous interval and the number in Column B to the differenca in the numbers in Columns E and C. ..

i Nste 6: The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are applicable for all inspection intervals up to and including 48 months.

c. Refueling Outage Inspections At,each refueling, the svstems which have the potential for a severe dynamic event, specifically, the main steam system (upstream of the main steam isol eion valves) the main steam safety and power-operated relief valves a.id piping, auxiliary feedwater system, main steam supply to the auxiliary feedwater pus) turbine, and the letdown and charging portion of the CVCS system sia11 be inspected to determine if there has been a severe dynamic event. In case of a severe dynamic

)' event, mechanical snubbers in that system which experienced the .

event shall be. ins >ected during the-refueling outage to assure that the mechanical snu>bers have freedom of movement and are not frozen up. The inspection shall consist of verifying freedom of motion using one of the following: (1) ennually fnuuced snubber movement (2) evaluation of in place snubben piston setting; (3) stroking the;'

e. Functional Tests (Continued)

3) h An initial

'shall representative be functionally tested.sample of fifty five (55) snubbers '

For each snubber which does not i meet the functional test acceptance criteria, another sample or at least one-half the size of the initial sample shall be tested '

untti the total numbe;r tested is ' equal to the initial sample size multiplied by the factor,1 + C/2, where "C" is the number of snubbers found which do not meet the functional test acceptance criteria. This can be plotted using an " Accept" line which follows the equation tl = 55(1 + C/0). Each snubber should be plotted as f soon as it is tested. If the point plottee falls on or below

.. the " Accept" line testing may be discontinued. If the point plotted fal'Is above the " Accept" Ifne, testing must continue unless all snubbers have been tested.

The representative samples for the functional test sample plans shall be randoacly selected from the snubbers required b

'. cation 3.7.8 and reviewoo before beginning the testing.y Specif1-The review 3 shall ensure as far as i various confi gurations,pract cal that operating they are. representative environments, range of sites,ofand the 4

capacities.

Snubbers placed in the same locations as snubbers which failed the previous functional t.est shall be retested at the time of plan.nextIf functi)nal the test but shall not be included in the sample -

during the functional testing, additional sampling is '

required due to failura of only one type of snubber, the functional '

testing.results shall be reviewed at that time to determine if additional samples should be Itaited to the type of snubber which has failed the. functional testing. '

f. Functional Test Acceptance Criteria The snubber functional test shall verify that:

1) Activation (restraining action) is achieved within the specified range in both tension and. compression, 'except that i

inertia dependent, acceleration limiting mechanical snubbers cay be tested to verify only.that activation takes place in both directions of travel;

2) Snubter l 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 direction of travel; and

'4) For t.nubbers spect'fically required not to displace under

ontinuous lo' ad, the ability of the snubber to withstand load without displa.coment.

Testing methods may be used t6 measure parameters lodirectly or parameters other than those specified if those results can be ,

correlated to the sper.ified parameters through established m _ hods.
