SUMMARY

OF AUDIT FOR VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT UNITS 3 AND 4, REQUEST FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT: REMOVAL OF THE PREOPERATIONAL PASSIVE RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL HEAT EXCHANGER NATURAL CIRCULATION TEST (LAR 19-017)

(EPID L-2019-LLA-0194)

By letter dated September 6, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number ML19249C738), as supplemented by letter dated January 31, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20031E665) Southern Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) requested an amendment to Combined License (COL) Nos. NPF-91 and NPF-92, for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 3 and 4.

The requested amendment would change the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report in the form of departures from the incorporated plant-specific Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 2 information and related changes to the VEGP Units 3 and 4 COL Appendix C (and corresponding plant-specific DCD Tier 1) information.

The requested amendment includes changes to remove the natural circulation test of the passive residual heat removal (PRHR) heat exchanger, which is conducted during preoperational testing, from the scope of the initial test program. In lieu of performing this test according to Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) 2.2.03.08b.01, the ITAAC would be updated to reflect the heat removal performance test of the PRHR heat exchanger under forced flow conditions.

Document transmitted herewith contains sensitive unclassified CONTACT: Donald Habib, NRR/VPO information. When separated from 301-415-1035 the enclosure, this document is DECONTROLLED.
