U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0829 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Desion Commitment 7.b) The SFS provides spent fuel cooling for 7 days by boiling the spent fuel pool water and makeup water from on-site storage tanks.

Insoections. Tests. Analyses ii) Inspection will be performed to verify the cask washdown pit includes sufficient volume of water.

Acceptance Criteria ii) The water volume of the cask washdown pit from the cask washdown pit floor to 13.75 feet above the cask washdown pit floor is greater than or equal to 34,100 gallons.

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System (SFS) providesspent fuel cooling for 7 days by boiling the spent fuel pool water and makeup water from on-sitestorage tanks. This ITAAC performs an inspection to verify the water volume ofthe Cask Washdown Pit (CWP) from the CWP floor to 13.75 feet above CWP floor is greater than or equal to 34,100 gallons.

An inspection is performed of the as-built CWP to confirm the internal volume from the floor to 13.75 feet above the floor. Measurements are taken of the as-built dimensions of the rectangular CWP internal length and width from the CWP floor to 13.75feet above the CWP floor and results are used to calculate the internal volume. Measurements are taken using survey equipment in accordance with the site survey and measurement procedure (Reference 1). Inspections are also performed to determine the water displacement volume associated with the personnel access ladder located in the CWP. The water displacement volume ofthe ladder is subtracted from the CWP internal volume to obtain the net water volume.

The results are documented in the Unit 3 and Unit 4 Principal Closure Documents (Reference 2 and 3, respectively) which show the water volume of the CWPfrom the floor of the CWPto 13.75 feet above the floorof the CWP is xx,xxx gallons for Unit 3 and yy.yyy gallons for Unit 4 and meets the ITAAC acceptance criteria.

References 2 and 3 are available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 and Unit 4 ITAAC completion packages (Reference 4 and 5, respectively).
