U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0360 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment

1. The HFE verification and validation program is performed in accordance with the HFE verification and validation implementation plan and includes the following activities:

e) Plant HFE/HSI (as designed at the time of plant startup) verification Inspections/Tests/Analyses e) An evaluation of the implementation of the plant HFE/HSI (as designed at the time of plant startup) verification will be performed .

Acceptance Criteria e) A report exists and concludes that: The plant HFE/HSI, as designed at the time of plant startup , is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in 1.a) through 1.d).

ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple ITAAC are performed to verify that the Human Factors Engineering (HFE) verification and validation program , as described in VEGP 3&4 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 18.11 , Human Factors Engineering Verification and Validation (Reference 1), is performed in accordance with the HFE verification and validation implementation plan. The subject ITAAC requires that an evaluation of the implementation of the plant HFE/Human System Interface (HFE/HSI) (as designed at the time of plant startup) verification be performed which concludes that the plant HFE/HSI, as designed at the time of plant startup, is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in 1.a) through 1.d) (ITAAC 3.2.00.01a through 3.2.00.01d, References 2-6).

An evaluation was performed in accordance with the AP1000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Plan (Reference 7), to demonstrate that the plant HFE/HSI design at the time of plant startup conforms to the human factors principles and guidance as specified in APP-OCS-GBH-001 "AP1000 Human Factors Engineering Program Plan" (Reference 8). The results of the evaluation are documented in the AP 1000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Report (Reference 9) .

The AP1000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Report exists and concludes that the plant HFE/HSI , as designed at the time of plant startup, is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in 1.a) through 1.d), (ITAAC 3.2.00.01 a through 3.2.00.01 d, References 2-6).

References 1 through 9 are available for NRC inspection as part of the ITAAC 3.2.00.01 e Completion Package (Reference 10).

ITAAC Finding Review In accordance with plant procedures for ITAAC completion, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) performed a review of all findings pertaining to the subject ITAAC and associated corrective actions. This review found there were no relevant ITAAC findings associated with this ITAAC. The ITAAC completion review is documented in the ITAAC Completion Package for ITAAC 3.2.00.01e (Reference 10) and is available for NRC review.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0360 Enclosure Page 3 of 3 ITAAC Completion Statement Based on the above information , SNC hereby notifies the NRC that ITAAC 3.2.00.01e was performed for VEGP Unit 3 and that the prescribed acceptance criteria was met.
