U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 4 Notice of Uncompleted ITAAC 225-davs Prior to Initial Fuel Load Item 2.1.02.08d.v [Index Number 361 Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.99(c)(3), Southern Nuclear Operating Company hereby notifies the NRC that as of October 15, 2020, Vogtle Electric Generating Plant(VEGP) Unit 4 Uncompleted Inspection, Test, Analysis, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item 2.1.02.08d.v [Index Number 36] has not been completed greater than 225-days prior to initial fuel load. The Enclosure describes the plan for completing ITAAC 2.1.02.08d.v [Index Number 36]. Southern Nuclear Operating Company will at a later date provide additional notifications for ITAAC that have not been completed 225-days prior to initial fuel load.

This notification is informed by the guidance described in NEI-08-01, Industry Guideline for the ITAAC Closure Process Under 10 CFR Part 52, which was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.215. In accordance with NEI 08-01, this notification includes ITAAC for which required inspections, tests, or analyses have not been performed or have been only partially completed. All ITAAC will be fully completed and all Section 52.99(c)(1) ITAAC Closure Notifications will be submitted to NRC to support the Commission finding that all acceptance criteria are met prior to plant operation, as required by 10 CFR 52.103(g).

This letter contains no new NRC regulatory commitments.

If there are any questions, please contact Tom Petrak at 706-848-1575 Respectfully submitted, Michael J. Yox Regulatory Affairs Dii^ctor Vogtle 3&4

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-20-1221 Enclosure Page 2 of 4 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 8.d) The RCS provides automatic depressurization during design basis events.

I nspections/Tests/Analvses v) Inspections of the elevation of the ADS stage 4 valve discharge will be conducted.

vi) Inspections of the ADS stage 4 valve discharge will be conducted.

viii) Inspection of the elevation of each ADS sparger will be conducted.

Acceptance Criteria v) The minimum elevation of the bottom inside surface of the outlet of these valves is greater than plant elevation 110 feet.

vi) The discharge of the ADS stage 4 valves is directed into the steam generator compartments.

viii) The centerline of the connection of the sparger arms to the sparger hub is ^ 11.5 feet below the IRWST overflow level.

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant(VEGP)

Unit 4 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) provides automatic depressurization during design basis events. This ITAAC requires that inspections be conducted to verify that the minimum elevation of the bottom inside surface of the outlet of the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS)stage 4 valves is greater than plant elevation 110 feet, that the discharge of the ADS stage 4 valves is directed into the steam generator compartments, and that for each ADS sparger (Sparger A and Sparger B)the centerline of the connection of the sparger arms to the sparger hub is s 11.5 feet below the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) overflow level.

During fabrication of the ADS stage 4 valves, the vendor measures key dimensions, including the valve body outlet circular dimension, which when halved and subtracted from the RCS line centerline elevation, is the elevation of the bottom inside surface of the outlet of the ADS stage 4 valves. The dimensional inspections are performed at the vendor's facility using both standard industry measurement techniques and specialized equipment. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process of the ADS stage 4 valves (i.e., 14" squib valves), it is necessary to verify measurements are within the acceptable ITAAC ranges prior to shipment. Completion of these measurements at the vendor's facility is standard industry practice and is specified in the procurement specification. Completing these measurements at the vendor's facility meets the

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-20-1221 Enclosure Page 3 of 4 definition of "as-built inspections" per NEI 08-01, Section 9.5,"As-built Inspections"(Reference 1). The results of the measurements are included in the Vogtle Unit 4 ADS-4 Stage Valve Quality Release & Certificate of Conformance (Reference 2).

An inspection of the routing of the RCS lines associated with the ADS stage 4 valves is performed during a walk down of the as-built lines in accordance with the site walk down inspection procedure (Reference 3)to confirm that the discharge of ADS stage 4 valves, which are installed at the end of the RCS lines, is directed into the steam generator compartments.

The elevation of the RCS lines. Sparger A and B hub centerlines, and IRWST overflow level is determined using survey equipment in accordance with site survey and measurement procedures (Reference 4).

The walk down and survey inspection results are documented in the Unit 4 inspection reports (References 5 and 6)and reflected in Attachments A and B, which demonstrate that the acceptance criteria of the ITAAC have been met. References 2 through 6 are available for NRC inspection as part of the ITAAC 2.1.02.08d.v Completion Package (Reference 7).

List of ITAAC Findings In accordance with plant procedures for ITAAC completion. Southern Nuclear Operating Company(SNC) performed a review of all ITAAC findings pertaining to the subject ITAAC and associated corrective actions. This review found that there are no relevant ITAAC findings associated with this ITAAC.
