In accordance with NEI 08-01, this notification includes ITAACfor which required inspections, tests, or analyses have not been performed or have been only partially completed. All ITAAC will be fully completed and allSection 52.99(c)(1) ITAAC Closure Notifications will be submitted to NRC to support the Commission finding that all acceptance criteria are met priorto plant operation, as required by 10 CFR 52.103(g).
This letter contains no new NRC regulatory commitments.
If there are any questions, please contact Tom Petrak at 706-848-1575.
Respectfully submitted.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0087 Enclosure Page 2 of 6 ITAAC Statement Desion Commitment:
5.a) The seismic Category I equipment identified in Table 2.3.10-1 can withstand seismic design basis loads without loss of safety function.
Inspections. Tests. Analyses:
i) Inspection will be performed to verify that the seismic Category Iequipment identified inTable 2.3.10-1 is located on the Nuclear Island.
ii) Typetests, analyses, or a combination oftypetests and analyses ofseismicCategory I equipment will be performed.
ill) Inspection will be performed forthe existence ofa report verifying that the as-built equipment including anchorage is seismicallybounded bythe tested or analyzed conditions.
Acceptance Criteria:
i) Theseismic Category Iequipment identified in Table 2.3.10-1 is located on the Nuclear Island.
ii) Areport existsand concludes thatthe seismic Category Iequipment can withstand seismic design basis loads without loss of safety function.
iii) Areport exists and concludes thatthe as-built equipment including anchorage isseismically bounded by the tested or analyzed conditions.
ITAAC Completion Description This ITAAC requires that inspections, tests, and analyses be performed and documentedto ensure the Liquid Radwaste System (WLS) components identified as seismicCategoryIin the Combined License (COL) Appendix C, Table2.3.10-1 (theTable) are designed and constructed in accordance with applicable requirements.
ii The seismic Cateoorv I equipment identified in Table 2.3.10-1 is located on the Nuclear Island.
To assure that seismic Category Icomponents can withstandseismic design basis loads without loss of safety function, all the components in the Table are designed to be locatedon the seismic Category I Nuclear Island. In accordance with Equipment Qualification (EG)
Walkdown ITAAC Guideline (Reference 1),an inspection is conducted ofthe WLS to confirm the satisfactoryinstallation ofthe seismically qualified components. The inspection includes verification ofequipmentmake/model/serial numberand verification of equipment location (Building, Elevation, Room). The EG As-Built Reconciliation Reports (EQRR) (Reference 2) identifiedin Attachment A document the results of the inspection and conclude that the seismic Category Icomponents are located on the Nuclear Island.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0087 Enclosure Page 3 of 6
- 11) A report exists and concludes that the seismic Cateoorv I eouioment can withstand seismic desion basis loads without loss of safety function.
Seismic Category Icomponents inthe Table requiretype tests and/or analyses to demonstrate structural integrity and operability. Structural integrity ofthe seismic Category Ivalves, as well as other passive seismic Category Imechanical equipment, is demonstrated byanalysis in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Section III (Reference3). Functionality ofthe subset ofactive safety-related valves underseismicloads is determined using the guidance of ASME QME-1-2007 (Reference 4).
The specificqualification method (i.e.,type testing, analysis, or combination) used for each component inthe Table is identified in Attachment A. Additional information about the methods used to qualify AP1000 safety-relatedequipment is provided inthe Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Appendix 3D(Reference 5). The EQ Reports (Reference 6) identified in Attachment Acontain applicable test reports and associated documentation and conclude that the seismic Category Iequipmentcan withstand seismic design basis loads without loss of safety function.
iii) A report exists and concludes that the as-built eouioment including anchorage is seismicallv bounded bv the tested or analvzed conditions.
An inspection (Reference 1) is conductedto confirm the satisfactory installation ofthe seismically qualified components inthe Table. The inspection verifies the equipment make/model/serial number, as-designed equipment mounting orientation, anchorage and clearances, and electrical and other interfaces.
The documentation of installed configuration of seismicallyqualified components includes photographs and/or sketches/drawings of equipment/mounting/interfaces.
As part ofthe seismic qualification program, consideration is given to the definition of the clearances needed around the equipment mounted in the plant to permit the equipment to move during a postulated seismic event without causing impact between adjacent pieces of safety-relatedequipment. This is done as part ofseismictesting by measuringthe maximum dynamic relativedisplacement of the top and bottom of the equipment. EQ Reports (Reference 6) identify the equipmentmounting employed forqualification and establish interface requirements forassuring that subsequent in-plant installation does not degrade the established qualification.
Interface requirements are defined based on the test configuration and other design requirements.
Attachment A identifies the EQRR (Reference 2) completed to verifythat the as-built seismic Category Iequipment listedinthe Table, including anchorage, are seismically bounded bythe tested or analyzed conditions and NRG Regulatory Guide 1.100 (Reference 7).
Together, these reports (References 2 and 6) provide evidence that the ITAAC Acceptance Criteria requirements are met:
The seismic Category Iequipment identified inTable 2.3.10-1 is located on the Nuclear Island:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0087 Enclosure Page 4 of 6 A report exists and concludes that the seismic Category I equipment can withstand seismic design basis loads without loss of safety function; and A report exists and concludes that the as-built equipment including anchorage is seismically bounded by the tested or analyzed conditions.
References 2 and 6 are available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 and Unit 4 ITAAC 2.3.10.OSa.i Completion Packages (References 8 and 9, respectively).
List of ITAAC Findings 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 finding review, which included now-consolidated ITAAC Indexes 438 and 439, found no relevant ITAAC findings associated with this iTAAC.
