U.S . Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0305 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 2.b) The main turbine-generator trips after receiving a signal from the PMS .

Inspections, Tests, Analyses Testing will be performed using real or simulated signals into the PMS .

Acceptance Criteria The main turbine-generator trips after receiving a signal from the PMS.

ITAAC Determination Basis Testing was performed in accordance with Unit 3 preoperational test procedure listed in Reference 1 to confirm the main turbine-generator trips after receiving a signal from the Protection and Safety Monitoring System (PMS) .

Testing documented in Reference 1 first closed the eight Reactor Trip Circuit Breakers (RTCBs) at their associated Reactor Trip Switchgear Cabinets. Reference 1 then confirmed that the Plant Control System (PLS) Turbine Control and Protection System (TCPS) Load Control display indicated the main turbine is not in a tripped status and the main turbine Main Stop, Intercept, and Reheat Stop valves were not closed ; the Pilot Solenoid Valve and Trip Valve spool positions all indicated armed on the TCPS Trip Solenoid Testing display; and the main turbine control valves were not closed as indicated on the TCPS Control Valve Maintenance and Calibration display.

A PMS reactor trip signal was then inserted at the Primary Dedicated Safety Panel (PDSP) by placing hand switch 3-PMS-HS025 , Reactor Trip , in the trip position . All eight RTCB's were verified to indicate open on the PLS Reactor System (RXS) Reactor Trip Breaker display; the TCPS Load Control display indicated a turbine trip ; the Pilot Solenoid Valve and Trip Valve spool positions all indicated tripped on the TCPS Trip Solenoid Testing display; the main turbine Main Stop, Control , Intercept, and Reheat Stop valves all indicated closed on the TCPS Load Control display; and the TCPS Electrical & Plant Wide First Out Trips display indicated a PMS first out trip for the main turbine . Results of the preoperational testing are documented in Reference 1 and confirmed that the main turbine-generator trips after receiving a signal from the PMS .

Reference 1 is available for NRG inspection as part of the Unit 3 ITAAC 2.4.02.02b Completion Package (Reference 2) .

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0305 Enclosure Page 3 of 3 ITAAC Finding Review In accordance with plant procedures for ITAAC completion , Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) performed a review of all ITAAC find ings pertaining to the subject ITAAC and associated corrective actions .
