ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Fire Protection System (FPS) piping shown on Figure 2.3.4-2 of the Combined License (COL) Appendix C remains functional following a safe shutdown earthquake. The subject ITAAC requires an inspection to verify that the piping shown on COL Appendix C, Figure 2.3.4-2 is located on the Nuclear Island, which is a seismic Category I structure.

To assure that the FPS piping shown on COL Appendix C, Figure 2.3.4-2 remains functional following a safe shutdown earthquake, all the pipelines and inline components/valves are designed to be located on the seismic Category I Nuclear Island. In accordance with procedure XYZ (Reference 1), an inspection is conducted ofthe FPS to confirm the satisfactory installation ofthe piping system required to remain functional following a safe shutdown earthquake. The inspection includes verification of the installed piping location (Building and Room).

The inspection results are documented in the Unit 3 and Unit 4 Principal Closure Documents (Reference 2 and 3, respectively) which conclude that the piping shown on COL Appendix C, Figure 2.3.4-2 is located on the Nuclear Island and meets the ITAAC acceptance criteria.

References 1 thru 3 are available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 and Unit4 ITAAC Completion Packages (Reference 4 and 5, respectively).
