U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 4 ITAAC Closure Notification on Completion of ITAAC 2.1.03.13 [Index Number 88]
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 4 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item 2.1.03.13 [Index Number 88]. This ITAAC verified that the fuel assemblies and rod cluster control assemblies intended for the initial core load and listed in the COL Appendix C Table 2.1.3-1 have been designed and constructed in accordance with the principal design requirements. The closure process for this ITAAC is based on the guidance described in NEI 08-01, Industry Guideline for the ITAAC Closure Process under 10 CFR Part 52 (Reference 1), which is 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, Jamie M. Coleman Regulatory Affairs Director Vogtle 3 & 4

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-23-0404 Enclosure Page 2 of 5 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment:
- 13. The fuel assemblies and rod cluster control assemblies intended for initial core load and listed in Table 2.1.3-1 have been designed and constructed in accordance with the established design requirements.
Inspections, Tests, Analyses:
An analysis is performed of the reactor core design.
Acceptance Criteria:
A report exists and concludes that the fuel assemblies and rod cluster control assemblies intended for the initial core load and listed in Table 2.1.3-1 have been designed and constructed in accordance with the principal design requirements.
ITAAC Determination Basis Analyses of the reactor core design were performed to demonstrate that the fuel assemblies (FAs) and the rod cluster control assemblies (RCCAs) intended for the initial core load and listed in Combined License Appendix C (Reference 2) Table 2.1.3-1 (Attachment 1) were designed and constructed in accordance with the principal design requirements. The fuel and rod cluster control assembly's principal design requirements are identified in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR, Reference 3) Section 4.1.1.
References 4 and 5 document the design closeout activities performed by Westinghouse to finalize the AP1000 fuel assembly design and the Rod Cluster Control Assembly (RCCA) design. These design closeout documents ensure that the Principal Design Requirements listed in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Chapter 4.1.1 are met. Following the completion of the design closeouts of References 4 and 5, additional changes were made to the AP1000 fuel assembly and RCCA designs. These changes were provided in Reference 6, the AP1000 Core Reference Report. References 7 and 8 were added as references in Section 4.1.1 of the UFSAR Revision 8.1. Together, these five documents, along with the associated UFSAR requirements, define the licensing basis for the Vogtle 3 & 4 fuel assembly and RCCA designs. References 4 through 8 were reviewed and it was confirmed that the NRC-approved fuel assembly and RCCA designs meet the UFSAR Chapter 4.1.1 Principal Design Requirements. Furthermore, references 4 through 8 document design compliance with the applicable UFSAR Chapter 4 requirements (including fuel damage and material compatibility principal design requirements).
Reference 9 documents the Initial Core Safety Analysis Checklist and is specific to the Vogtle 3 &
4 First Core design as documented in Reference 6. Reference 9 confirms that the initial core load safety analysis performed by Westinghouse for Cycle 1 meets the Principal Design Requirements listed in the UFSAR Chapter 4.1.1, and the applicable UFSAR Chapter 4 requirements.
Verification of the design and construction of fuel and RCCAs is documented in ITAAC Technical Report SV4-RXS-ITR-800088 (Reference 10). Construction of the fuel and RCCAs was performed in accordance with the Westinghouse Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility Quality Management System (Reference 11). Construction of fuel assemblies was in accordance with NRFE-10-59, DR
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-23-0404 Enclosure Page 3 of 5 08-3, AP1000 Fuel Design Finalization Review Meeting (Reference 4). Construction of RCCAs was in accordance with NRFE-11-29, NRFE-11 NG RCCA DESIGN CLOSEOUT PACKAGE Revision 2 (Reference 5). A letter was provided by Westinghouse (Reference 12) at the completion of the fabrication process attesting that the fuel assemblies and RCCAs for the Vogtle Unit 4 initial core load were constructed in accordance with the principal design requirements.
The reviews and technical reports described above demonstrate that the fuel assemblies and rod cluster control assemblies intended for the initial core load and listed in the COL Appendix C Table 2.1.3-1 have been designed and constructed in accordance with the principal design requirements.
References 4 through 10 are available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 4 ITAAC 2.1.03.13 Completion Package (Reference 13).
ITAAC Finding Review 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. The ITAAC completion review is documented in the ITAAC Completion Package for ITAAC 2.1.03.13 (Reference 13) and is available for NRC review.
ITAAC Completion Statement Based on the above information, SNC hereby notifies the NRC that ITAAC 2.1.03.13 was performed for VEGP Unit 4 and that the prescribed acceptance criteria are met.
Systems, structures, and components verified as part of this ITAAC are being maintained in their as-designed, ITAAC compliant condition in accordance with approved plant programs and procedures.
