SUBJECT:

VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 3 AND 4 STAFF ASSESSMENT IN RESPONSE TO RECOMMENDATION 9.3 OF THE NEAR-TERM TASK FORCE RELATED TO THE FUKUSHIMA DAI-ICHI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACIDENT (EPID L-2019-LRQ-0002)

Dear Mr. Whitley:

By letter dated March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Request for Information pursuant to Section 50.54, paragraph (f) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, regarding Recommendations 2.1 (seismic and flooding evaluations), 2.3 (seismic and flooding walkdowns), and 9.3 (emergency preparedness communication and staffing) of the Near-Term Task Force review of insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident.

In Enclosure 5 of the March 12, 2012 letter, the NRC requested that licensees provide an assessment of the current communications systems and equipment used during an emergency event to identify any enhancements that may be needed to ensure communications are maintained during a large-scale natural event and subsequent loss of alternating current power.

By letter dated August 16, 2019, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., (SNC) responded to this request for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Units 3 and 4 (currently under construction).

B. Whitley The NRC staff reviewed the communications assessment for VEGP Units 3 and 4 and, as documented in the enclosed staff assessment, determined that SNCs assessment for communications is reasonable and the proposed enhancements will help to ensure that communications are maintained.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Cayetano Santos Jr., Project Manager Vogtle Project Office Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos.: 52-025 52-026
