ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Passive Core Cooling System (PXS) provides Reactor Coolant System (RCS) makeup, boration, and safety injection during design basis events. The subject ITAAC requires inspections to verify that:
- 1. Coatings - Nonsafety-related coatings used inside containment on walls, floors, ceilings and structural steel (except in the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVS) room),
and components below the maximum flood level (MFL) of a design basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), or located above the MFL and not inside cabinets or
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-0245 Enclosure Page 3 of 6 enclosures, have a dry film density of 100 lb/ft3, and inorganic zinc (IOZ) coatings used on these surfaces are Safety - Service Level I or have been quantified and justified in a program for management of unqualified coatings to demonstrate the unqualified coatings are acceptable for use.
- 2. Caulking, Tags, and Signs - Tags and signs used below the MFL of a design basis LOCA or located above the MFL and not inside cabinets or enclosures are made of steel or another metal with a density of 100 lb/ft3, including coatings used on these signs and tags, and that caulking in these areas has a density of 100 lb/ft3.
- 3. Ventilation Filters and Fiber-producing Fire Barriers - Ventilation filters and fiber-producing fire barriers used inside containment within the Zone of Influence (ZOI) of a LOCA pipe break or below the MFL of a design basis LOCA have a density of 100 lb/ft3.
- 1. - Coatings Containment equipment design specifications require that the selected coating system meets the minimum dry film density requirement of 100 lb/ft3, and that inorganic zinc coatings used on containment equipment surfaces are Safety - Service Level I (SLI). The minimum dry film unit weight is specified by the coating manufacturers conformance documentation. The applied coatings are limited to those approved in the design specification (Reference 1), where the dry film density is an intrinsic property of each coating that is determined by testing prior to approval of that coating.
The acceptance criteria of this ITAAC was modified (Reference 2) to allow for a quantity of unqualified SLI coating areas to be administratively controlled under SNCs quality assurance program. An unqualified coating is one that has not passed the required laboratory testing or lacks adequate quality documentation to support its use as qualified. Each instance of unqualified coatings is documented and dispositioned and is consolidated into a unit-specific tracking log (Unit 3 and Unit 4 Unqualified Coatings Logs (UCL), (References 3 and 4)). Use of the unit-specific tracking log for unqualified SLI coatings facilitates compliance with the design specification requirements and provides a means for tracking and retaining a record of these unqualified coatings as a quality record throughout the operational life of the plant in compliance with ASTM D 7491-08 (Reference 5).
For coatings applied off-site at a vendor facility prior to shipment of items to the site, Quality Assurance Data Packages (QADPs) are generated in accordance with the vendors approved Quality Plan and include documentation of the dry film density of the selected coating system, as well as application / inspection certifications for SLI coating applications. Independent personnel review application and inspection records of ITAAC-related coatings by performing an inspection of the QADPs using the guidance of EPRI TR-017218-R1 (Reference 6). This review is expanded to include all ITAAC-related commodity codes present in containment.
Records of all QADPs for ITAAC-related off-site coated components are identified and contained in Unit 3 and Unit 4 Coating Receipt Inspection Reports (References 7 and 8).
This inspection confirms that vendor QADPs for the applied coatings include documentation of the dry film density for the selected coating system, as well as application / inspection certifications for SLI coating applications. Any unqualified coatings are tracked within the UCL for each unit.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-0245 Enclosure Page 4 of 6 The basis for inspecting coatings of as-built SSCs at other than their final installed locations is provided in NEI 08-01, Section 9.5, As-built Inspections. Installation of coated walls, floors, ceilings, structural steel and piping is performed in accordance with applicable procedures to assure that coatings are not adversely impacted during installation.
For coatings applied on-site, the Construction Work Packages (CWPs) include documentation of the dry film density of the selected coating system, as well as application / inspection certifications for SLI coating applications.
The coating contractor QC personnel review application and inspection records of ITAAC-related coatings by performing an inspection of the CWPs; these are identified and contained in Unit 3 and Unit 4 On-Site Coating Inspection Reports (References 9 and 10). This inspection confirms that CWPs for the applied coatings include documentation of the dry film density for the selected coating system, as well as application / inspection certifications for SLI coating applications. Any unqualified coatings are tracked within the UCL for each unit.
Inspection of on-site application of coatings includes repairs or touch-ups applied following the initial application, as well as following installation of SSCs coated at the vendor facility. No coatings of lower density are used in these applications.
Inspections of the QADPs for SSCs coated at the vendor facility and CWPs associated with on-site application of coatings conclude that the coatings used on these surfaces have a dry film density 100 lb/ft3, and that IOZ applications are Safety - Service Level I or are quantified and justified in a program for management of unqualified coatings to demonstrate the unqualified coatings are acceptable for use.
- 2. - Caulking, Tags, and Signs Prior to application of tags, signs or caulking inside containment, design specifications require that the selected material is either steel or another material with a density of 100 lb/ft3. Signs or tags that are coated are also required to have approved coatings with a dry film density of 100 lb/ft3.
For tags, signs, and caulking used, the CWPs include documentation of the material and the density, and the dry film density of the selected coating system used on any tags or signs.
Caulking contractor personnel review application and inspection records of signs, tags and caulking by performing an inspection of the CWPs; these are identified and contained in Unit 3 and Unit 4 Caulking Inspection Reports (References 11 and 12), and in Unit 3 and Unit 4 Tag and Sign Inspection Reports (References 13 and 14).
This inspection confirms that CWPs include documentation of the material and the density of the tags, signs, and caulking, and the dry film density of the selected coating system used on any tags or signs. No materials of lower density are utilized for caulking, tags, and signs in these locations.
Inspection of the CWPs concludes that the tags and signs are made of steel or other metal with a density of 100 lb/ft3 and that caulking used in these locations, or coatings used on these tags or signs, have a dry film density 100 lb/ft3.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-0245 Enclosure Page 5 of 6
- 3. - Ventilation Filters and Fiber-producing Fire Barriers By design, there are no ventilation filters installed within the AP1000 containment; filters for the containment air filtration system (VFS) are located in the auxiliary building.
Prior to installation of fire barriers inside containment that are within the ZOI or below the MFL, design specifications require that the fire barriers are either non-fiber-producing type barriers, or fiber-producing barriers that have a density of 100 lb/ft3.
For fire barriers installed, the CWPs include documentation of the material and the density.
Site fire protection personnel review application and inspection records of fire barriers by performing an inspection of the CWPs; these are identified and contained in Unit 3 and Unit 4 Ventilation Filter and Fire Barrier Inspection Reports (References 15 and 16). This inspection confirms that CWPs include documentation of the material and the density of the fire barrier.
Inspection of the CWPs concludes that fire barriers have a density 100 lb/ft3.
Together, these inspections, tests, and reports (References 3 through 16) provide evidence that the ITAAC Acceptance Criteria requirements are met:
- x) A report exists and concludes that the coatings used on these surfaces have a dry film density of 100 lb/ft3. If a coating is used that has a lower dry film density, a report must exist and conclude that the coating will not transport. A report exists and concludes that inorganic zinc coatings used on these surfaces are Safety - Service Level I or have been quantified and justified in a program for management of unqualified coatings to demonstrate the unqualified coatings are acceptable for use;
- A report exists and concludes that tags and signs used in these locations are made of steel or another metal with a density 100 lb/ft3. In addition, a report exists and concludes that caulking used in these locations or coatings used on these signs or tags have a dry film density of 100 lb/ft3. If a material is used that has a lower density, a report must exist and conclude that there is insufficient water flow to transport lightweight caulking, signs, or tags; and
- A report exists and concludes that the ventilation filters and fire barriers in these locations have a density of 100 lb/ft3.
References 3 through 16 are available for NRC inspection as part of the ITAAC 2.2.03.08c.x Completion Package (References 17 and 18).

ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris Potential sources of ITAAC debris are Coatings, Tags/Signs, Caulking, Ventilation Filters, and Fiber Producing Fire Barriers (see UFSAR Sections 6.1.2 and 6.3.2.2.7.1)
- Each contributing debris source is evaluated:
- Coatings have requirements of
- minimum density, or must show will not transport, or
- Safety-service level, which determines failure potential
- Remainder of items have a requirement of minimum density, or must show will not transport 3
ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris Evaluate ITAAC debris sources by location:
- Inside containment* and
- Below maximum flood level (MFL) of a DB LOCA (Elevation 110.2) but not in CVS room #11209 (drains to sump, bypassing screen); or
- Above MFL but not in cabinets or enclosures; or
- Within the zone of influence (ZOI) of an analyzed pipe break

ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris Containment components are coated for multiple reasons:
Nonsafety Service Level II Coatings in Safety reason for coating Non-safety reason for coating Containment (Ref.
UFSAR Table 6.1-2)
Prevent dusting (concrete)
Ensure settling if detached Inhibit corrosion (metallic)
Structural Heat conduction Protect from chemical attack Enhance radioactive decontamination Components Ensure settling if detached Inhibit corrosion 16
ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris Containment components are coated with multiple coatings:
Typical coating (Ref. UFSAR Sect.
Material Reason 6.1.2.1.2)
Self-priming high solid epoxy (SPHSE) Protection, decontamination Temperature too high for Carbon steel Inorganic zinc (IOZ)
SPHSE Galvanized Where practical Uncoated Situation dependent Stainless steel Uncoated Self protecting Concrete SPHSE Protection, decontamination 17
ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris
Background
- Post-LOCA core cooling water recirculates in containment
- Recirculation is through screens without pumps
- Dense debris is ITAAC material weighing greater than 100 lb/ft3
- Low recirculation velocity enhances dense debris settling 18
ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris Coating Safety-Service Levels
- Coatings are primarily Service Level II (SLII) because their failure does not prevent functioning of the engineered safety features
- IOZ coatings are only used where epoxy fails on normal temperature, and are required to be Safety-Service Level I (SLI) to prevent LOCA detachment since such debris is not likely to settle out
- LAR 17-039 provided the Unqualified Coating Log (UCL) for tracking unqualified coatings (cannot be qualified as SLI) within SLI areas.
- The total inventory of unqualified coatings and coating debris fines generated by LOCA jet is restricted to 70 lbs 19
ITAAC 195 - Minimize Containment Debris AP1000 design features facilitating use of SLII coatings:
- Long delay between LOCA and start of recirculation allows time for settling of debris
- High level flooding allows tall recirculation screens
- Volume is provided for accumulation of debris without plugging
- Screens are shielded from debris by a surrounding plate
- Coatings are not used under plate near screens The protective plate, together with low flow, approach velocity and screen size, preclude postulated coating debris above the plate from reaching the screens.
