ITAAC Statement

Desion Commitment 13.a) The central and secondary alarm stations have conventional (landline) telephone service with the main control room and local law enforcement authorities.

13.b) The central and secondary alarm stations are capable of continuous communication with security personnel.

Inspections/Tests/Analvses Tests, inspections, or a combination of tests and inspections of the central and secondary alarm stations' conventional telephone services will be performed.

Tests, inspections, or a combination of tests and inspections of the central and secondary alarm stations' continuous communication capabilities will be performed.

Acceptance Criteria The central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with conventional (landline) telephone service with the main control room and local law enforcement authorities.

The central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with the capability to continuously communicate with security officers, watchmen, armed response individuals, or any securitypersonnel that have responsibilities during a contingency event.

ITAAC Determination Basis Tests, inspections, or a combination of tests and inspections of the central and secondary alarm stations' conventional telephone services and continuous communication capabilities were performed to verify the central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with conventional (landline) telephone service with the main control room and local law enforcement authorities and to verify the central and secondary alarm stations are capable of continuous communication System ITAACs only cover the Unit 3 plant security system design commitment scope.with security personnel.

The continuous communications test between the CAS/SAS and security officers, watchmen, armed response Individuals, or security personnel that have responsibilities during a contingency event was conducted using continuous communications testing methods similar to those Identified In Reference 2. The continuous communications methods used at VEGP Unit 3 Include portable Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) primary security radios, portable Very High Frequency (VHF) radios, and security Intercom communication stations.

at locations similar to those that would be accessed by security officers and watchmenPortable UHF security radio testing was conducted between the CAS/SAS and security officers performing duties required by the VEGP Unit 3 and Unit 4 Physical Security Plan. Portable VHF communication station testing was conducted between CAS/SAS and security officers at theradio testing was also conducted between the CAS/SAS and security officers. Intercom local Intercom communication stations located In VEGP Unit 3. The testing contacts and confirms voice transmission and reception between the CAS/SAS and a security officer assigned a portable UHF security radio, a security officer assigned a VHF radio, and each Intercom system station located In VEGP Unit 3. Armed response Individuals and security personnel that would have responsibilities during a contingency event utilize the applicable portable UHF security radios, VHF radios, and Intercom communication stations tested above.

The results of the above testing are documented In Reference 1 and verify the central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with the capability to continuously communicate with security officers, watchmen, armed response Individuals, or any security personnel that have responsibilities during a contingency event.

The test results contained In Reference 1 provide evidence that the IT/\\AC Acceptance Criteria requirements are met:

• The central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with conventional (landllne) telephone service with the main control room and local law enforcement authorities; and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0051 Enclosure Page 4 of 4

• The central and secondary alarm stations are equipped with the capability tocontinuously communicate with security officers, watchmen, armed response individuals, or any security personnel that have responsibilities during a contingency event Reference 1 is available for NRG inspection as part of the Unit 3 ITAAC 2.6.09.13a Completion Package (Reference 3).
