ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple ITAAC are performed to verify by inspections and tests that:

Safety-related displays of the parameters identified in the Combined License (COL)

Table 2.2.3-1 (Attachment A) can be retrieved in the Main Control Room (MCR).

Controls exist in the MCR to cause the remotely operated valves identified in COL Table 2.2.3-1 (Attachment B) to perform their active function(s).

The valves identified in Table 2.2.3-1 (Attachment C) as having Protection and Safety Monitoring System (PMS) control perform their active function after receiving a signal from the PMS.

Remotely operated PXS isolation valves PXS-V014A/B, V015A/B, V108A/B open within the required response times. (Attachment D)

After loss of motive power, the remotely operated valves identified in COL Table 2.2.3-1 (Attachment E) assume the indicated loss of motive power position.

Displays of the parameters identified in COL Table 2.2.3-3 (Attachment F) can be retrieved in the MCR.

Safety-related displays identified in Table 2.2.3-1 can be retrieved in the MCR.

Inspections were performed, as documented in Reference 1, which visually confirmed that when each of the displays of the plant parameter identified in Attachment A was summoned using the MCR PMS Visual Display Units (VDUs), the expected display appeared on the PMS VDU.

The completed inspection results in Reference 1 confirms that safety-related displays identified in Table 2.2.3-1 can be retrieved in Unit 4 MCR.

ii) Controls in the MCR operate to cause remotely operated valves other than squib valves to perform their active functions.

Using Plant Control System (PLS) controls in the MCR, stroke testing each valve in AttachmentB was performed in accordance with testing listed in Reference 2. Each valve was stroked to its active function and proper valve position indication was verified locally and in the MCR. This testing demonstrated PLS controls in the MCR operate to cause the remotely operated valves identified in COL Appendix C Table 2.2.3-1 to perform their active functions.

The completed test results in Reference 2 confirms that controls in the Unit 4 MCR operatedto cause the remotely operated valves identified in Table 2.2.3-1 to perform active functions.

ii) Remotely operated valves other than squib valves perform the active function identified in the table after a signal is input to the PMS.

Testing was performed in accordance with Unit 4 component test packages listed in Reference3to confirm that the remotely operated valves other than squib valves performed the active function identified in Attachment C after a signal is input to the PMS.

The component test packages established initial conditions with each valve verified locally and in the MCR to be in the required position. An actuation signal was generated by PMS using the PMS Maintenance and Test Panel (MTP) to generate a signal to cause the valves in Attachment C to transfer to the active function position and each valve was verified locally and in the MCR.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-23-0478 Enclosure Page 4of 9

The completed test results in Reference 3 confirmed the remotely operated valves other than squib valves perform the active function identified in the table after a signal is input to the PMS for Unit 4.

iii) These valves open within 20 seconds after receipt of an actuation signal.

Testing was performed in accordance with Unit 4 component test packages listed in Reference 3 to confirm that remotely operated PXS isolation valves PXS-V014A/B, V015A/B, V108A/B openedwithin 20 seconds after receipt of an actuation signal.

The component test packages established initial conditions with each valve verified locally and in the MCR to be in the closed position and a digital trend was established to time the valve actuation. An actuation signal was generated by PMS using the PMS Maintenance and Test Panel (MTP) to generate a signal to cause the valves in Attachment D to transfer open and each valve is verified locally and in the MCR.

The completed test results in Reference 3 confirm that remotely operated PXS isolation valves PXS-V014A/B, V015A/B, V108A/B opened within 20 seconds after receipt of an actuation signal for Unit 4 and the test results are documented in Attachment D.

After loss of motive power, each remotely operated valve identified in Table 2.2.3-1 assumes the indicated loss of motive power position.

Testing was performed in accordance with Unit 4 component test packages listed in Reference4to verify that each remotely operated valve identified in Attachment E assumed the indicated loss of motive power position upon a loss of motive power.

Testing was performed on the Motor-Operated Valves (MOVs) listed in Attachment E by ensuring each MOV was in their pretest position of closed. Each MOV was stroked open by using the valve control circuit to de-energize the contactors, which removed motive power from the valve when the open position was reached. This loss of power caused by the valve control circuit demonstrated the MOV

-. Actual valve position was verified locally and in the MCR. Each MOV was also stroked Closed by using the valve control circuit to de-energize the contactors, which removed motive power from the valve when the Closed position was reached. This when motive power was removed. Actual valve position was verified locally and in the MCR.

Testing on the air operated valves listed in Attachment E was performed by placing the valves in a position opposite their loss of motive power position and opening the power supply to their air supply solenoid. This caused the solenoid to de-energize which closed the air supply to the valve and opened a vent port to vent off the air in the actuator. The valves were verified locally and in the MCR to transfer to their loss of motive power position.

The motive power for the squib valves is a single-use explosive device powered by Direct Current (DC)

Power. By design, this configuration results in the squib valves maintaining their as-is position upon a loss of motive power, as power is required to ignite the explosive device which repositions the valve.

As a result, no loss of motive power testing is required for the squib valves. Functional testing of the squib valve actuation circuits is performed by other ITAAC.

The completed test results in Reference 4 confirms that after loss of motive power, each remotely operated valve identified in Table 2.2.3-1 assumes the indicated loss of motive power position for Unit 4.

Displays identified in Table 2.2.3-3 can be retrieved in the MCR.

An inspection was performed as documented in Reference 1 to confirm displays identified in Attachment F can be retrieved in the MCR.

Testing was performed at an operator workstation by navigating to several PXS system screens, locating the items identified in Attachment F, and ensuring the items identified can be retrieved in the MCR.

Reference 1 confirms that the displays identified in Table 2.2.3-3 can be retrieved in the Unit 4MCR.

References 1 through 4 are available for NRC inspection as part of Unit 4 ITAAC Completion Package (Reference 5).
