U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-1258 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 8.b) The RMS provides for the transfer of control capability from the MCR to the RSW using multiple transfer switches. Each individual transfer switch is associated with only a single safety-related group or with non-safety-related control capability.

Inspections/Tests/Analvses i) An inspection will be performed to verify that a transfer switch exists for each safety-related division and the nonsafety-related control capability.

Acceptance Criteria i) A transfer switch exists for each safety-related division and the nonsafety-related control capability.

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to ensure that the Protection and Safety Monitoring System (PMS) provides for the transfer of control capability from the Main Control Room (MCR)to the Remote Shutdown Workstation(RSW) using multiple transfer switches. Each individual transfer switch is associated with only a single safety-related group or with non-safety-related control capability. The subject ITAAC requires that an inspection be performed to verify that a transfer switch exists for each safety-related division and the non-safety-related control capability.

The PMS and Plant Control System (PLS)transfer switches are installed in accordance with approved drawings and specifications released by engineering for construction. An inspection is performed to verify that a transfer switch exists for each safety-related division and the non safety-related control capability. The inspection is performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure XXX (Reference 1), which requires performance of visual observations to compare the installed equipment to the approved drawings. The inspection results are documented in the Principal Closure Document XXX (Reference 2) supporting the ITAAC 2.5.02.08b.i Completion Package (Reference 3) and confirm that a transfer switch exists for each safety related division and the non-safety-related control capability.

Principal Closure Document XXX is available for NRC inspection as part of the ITAAC 2.5.02.08b.i Completion Package.

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