U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0313 Enclosure Page 2 of 4 ITAAC Statement Desion Commitment:
9.a) The RNS provides LTOP for the RCS during shutdown operations.
Inspections. Tests. Analyses:
i) Inspections will be conducted on the lowtemperature overpressure protection relief valves to confirm that the capacities of the vendor code plate ratings are greater than or equal to system relief requirements.
Acceptance Criteria:
i) The rated capacities recorded on the valves' vendor code plates are not less than the flow required to provide low-temperature overpressure protection for the RCS, as determined by the LTOPS evaluation based on the pressure-temperature curves developed for the as-procured reactor vessel material.
ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Normal Residual Heat Removal System (RNS) provides Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) for the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) during shutdown operations. This ITAAC performs inspections on the LTOP reliefvalves to confirm that the capacities of the vendor code plate ratings are greater than or equal to system relief requirements.
The Unit 3 and 4 RNS Suction Pressure Relief Valves, RNS-PL-V020 and RNS-PL-V021 (hereafter, RNS relief valves) are arranged per Figure 2.3.6-1 of Appendix C ofthe Vogtle Combined Licenses. Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Table 5.4-17 and valve datasheets (Reference 1) document the nominal relieving capacity for the RNS relief valves. An LTOPS analysis (evaluation), which is based on the pressure-temperature curves developed for the as-procured reactor vessel material and considers worst case RCS mass or heat input, provides the basis for the RNS relief valves flow capacities.
As documented in inspection report SVO-RNS-ITR-001 (Reference 1), an inspection ofthe RNS relief valves' Quality Release &Certificate of Conformance documentation (CoC) was performed. The CoC documentation included photographs of the RNS relief valves' vendor code plates, demonstrating the valves meet the ITAAC acceptance criteria. The RNS relief valves' flow capacity recorded on each American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Code plate was certified by ASME through the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Inspectors (NBBPVI). Subsection NC-7700 ofthe ASME B&PV Code,Section III describes the methods required to certify the relief device capacityand determine a coefficient used in determining capacity in subsequently manufactured valves. The flow capacity for each RNS LTOP reliefvalve was calculated by a set of equations using the coefficient found in Subsection NC-7700 and in NB-18, Pressure Relief Device Certification, from the NBBPVI.
Attachment A to this Enclosure documents the valves' vendor code plate capacity and combined total relief capacity.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0313 Enclosure Page 3 of 4 An Inspection report exists and concludes the rated capacities recorded on the valves' vendor code plates are not less than the flow required to provide low-temperature overpressure protection for the RGB, as determined by the LTOPS evaluation based on the pressure-temperature curves developed for the as-procured reactor vessel material.
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 Unit 3 and Unit 4 ITAAC Completion Package for ITAAC 2.3.06.09a.i (References 2 and 3, respectively) and is available for NRC review.
ITAAC ComDietion Statement Based on the above information, SNC hereby notifies the NRC that ITAAC 2.3.06.09a.i was performed for Vogtle Units 3 and 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.
