U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0508 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 9.b) The RCS provides the means to control system pressure.

Insoections. Tests. Analvses ii) Tests will be performed to verify that the pressurizer spray valves can open and close when operated from the MCR.

Acceotance Criteria ii) Controls inthe MCR operate to cause the pressurizer spray valves to open and close.

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) provides the means to control system pressure. The subject ITAAC requires a test to verify that the pressurizer spray valves can open and close when operated from the Main Control Room (MCR).

Testing is performed in accordance with the Unit 3 and Unit 4 component test package work orders (References 1 and 2, respectively) for valve remote operability testing to demonstrate controls inthe MCR operate to cause the pressurizer spray valves (RCS-PL-V110A and RCS-PL-V110B) to open and close. The valves are stroke tested using manual Plant Control System (PLS) controls from the MCR and local inspection verifies the valves change position as intended.

The Unit 3 and Unit 4 component test results (References 1 and 2, respectively) confirm that controls in the MCR operate to cause the pressurizer spray valves to open and close.

References 1 and 2 are available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 and Unit 4 ITAAC 2.1.02.09b.ii Completion Packages (References 3 and 4, respectively).

List of ITAAC Findings In accordance with plant procedures for ITAAC completion, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) performed a review of all ITAAC findings pertaining to the subject ITAAC and associated corrective actions. This finding review found the following relevant ITAAC findings associated with this ITAAC:
