52-025 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3 7825 River Road Waynesboro, GA 30830 706-848-6926 tel ND-22-0350 10 CFR 52.99(c)(1)

ITAAC Closure Notification on Completion of ITAAC 2.2.05.07c [Index Number 2701 Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with 10 CFR 52.99(c)(1 ), the purpose of this letter is to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the completion of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 3 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item 2.2.05.07c [Index Number 2701. This ITAAC confirms that the heat loads within the main control room (MCR), the l&C equipment rooms, and the Class 1 E de equipment rooms are within design basis assumptions to limit the heatup of the rooms. The closure process for this ITAAC is based on the guidance described in Nuclear Energy Institute (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.

This letter contains no new NRC regulatory commitments. Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) requests NRC staff confirmation of this determination and publication of the required notice in the Federal Register per 10 CFR 52.99.

If there are any questions, please contact Kelli Roberts at 706-848-6991.

Respectfully submitted,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0350 Enclosure Page 2 of 5 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 7.c) The heat loads within the MCR, the l&C equipment rooms, and the Class 1 Ede equipment rooms are within design basis assumptions to limit the heatup of the rooms identified in Table 2.2.5-4.

Inspections/Tests/ Analyses An analysis will be performed to determine that the heat loads from as-built equipment within the rooms identified in Table 2.2.5-4 are less than or equal to the design basis assumptions.

Acceptance Criteria A report exists and concludes that: the heat loads within rooms identified in Table 2.2.5-4 are less than or equal to the specified values or that an analysis report exists that concludes:

- The temperature and humidity in the MCR remain within limits for reliable human performance for the 72-hour period.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the l&C rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the Class 1 E de equipment rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

ITAAC Determination Basis An analysis was performed based on measured test data to confirm that the heat loads from as-built equipment within the Main Control Room (MCR), Instrument and Controls (l&C) equipment rooms, and the class 1 E direct current (de) equipment rooms are less than or equal to the design basis assumptions identified in Combined License (COL) Appendix C, Table 2.2.5-4 (Attachment A) or that an analysis report exists that concludes:

- The temperature and humidity in the MCR remain within limits for reliable human performance for the 72-hour period.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the l&C rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the Class 1 E de equipment rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

MCR heat load testing for data collection was performed by installing 17 temperature dataloggers. MCR temperature and relative humidity were recorded for a minimum of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and access to the MCR was restricted during the test. The Nuclear Island Nonradioactive Ventilation System (VBS) system was balanced and operating normally prior to commencing the test. To test the MCR heat loads, the MCR boundary was manually isolated by actuating the MCR Emergency Habitability System (VES), causing the VBS system to secure. Designated heat loads were shed per design during the test, and temporary heat sources (as necessary) were used to simulate the heat load of 11 MCR occupants for the duration of the test. Data

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0350 Enclosure Page 3 of 5 collection results, along with Attachment A, were used as input to perform an analysis and create an analysis report (Reference 1) that concludes that the temperature and humidity in the MCR remain within limits for reliable human performance for the 72-hour period.

The l&C equipment rooms and Class 1 E de equipment rooms heat load testing for data collection was performed by equipping each room with temperature dataloggers, access to the room was restricted, ventilation supply and exhaust dampers were closed, all equipment in the rooms was energized and temperature data was recorded for a minimum of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Data collection results, along with Attachment A, were used as input to perform an analysis and create an analysis report (Reference 1) that concludes the maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the l&C equipment rooms and Class 1 E de equipment rooms was less than or equal to 120°F.

Heat load analysis based on test data took into account the rooms' configuration and heat transfer characteristics (design basis assumptions) to conclude that:

- The temperature and humidity in the MCR remain within limits for reliable human performance for the 72-hour period.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the l&C rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the Class 1 E de equipment rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

The resultant analysis is documented in Reference 1 confirming that an analysis report exists and concludes that:

- The temperature and humidity in the MCR remain within limits for reliable human performance for the 72-hour period.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the l&C rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

- The maximum temperature for the 72-hour period for the Class 1 E de equipment rooms is less than or equal to 120°F.

Reference 1 is available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 ITAAC 2.2.05.07c Completion Package (Reference 2).
