U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3 and Unit 4 Notice of Uncompleted ITAAC 225-davs Prior to Initial Fuel Load Item E.3.9.06.00.06 [Index Number 8641 Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.99(c)(3), Southern Nuclear Operating Company hereby notifies the NRC that as of March 8, 2018, Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 3 and Unit 4 Uncompleted Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item E.3.9.06.00.06 [Index Number 864] has not been completed greater than 225-days prior to initial fuel load. The Enclosure describes the plan for completing this ITAAC. Southern Nuclear Operating Company will, at a later date, provide additional notifications for ITAAC that have not been completed 225-days prior to initial fuel load.

This notification is informed by the guidance described in NEI 08-01, Industry Guideline for the ITAAC Closure Process Under 10 CFR Part 52, which was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.215. In accordance with NEI 08-01, this notification includes ITAAC for which required inspections, tests, oranalyses have not been performed or have been only partially completed. All ITAAC will be fully completed and all Section 52.99(c)(1) ITAAC Closure Notifications will be submitted to NRC to support the Commission finding that all acceptance criteria are met prior to 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.

Michael J. Yox Regulatory Affairs Director Vogtle 3 &4

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0362 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Program Commitment 6.6 The means exists to estimate integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates, and for comparing these estimates with the EPA protective action guides (PAGs). [1.10]

Inspections/Tests/Analvses 6.6 Atest will be performed of the capabilitiesto estimate integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates, and for comparing these estimates with the EPA protective action guides.

Acceptance Criteria 6.6 The means were demonstrated to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field monitoring team readings during a radioactive release scenario. The results were compared with the EPA PAGs.

ITAAC Completion Description Atest (drill) is performed to demonstrate the capabilities to estimate integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates, and for comparing these estimates with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs). A drill scenario, simulating a radiological release to the environment, is developed and conducted using procedure NMP-EP-303, Drill and Exercise Standards (Reference 1). Evaluation of the drill performance confirms that Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 3 & Unit 4 and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) response personnel demonstrate that the means exist to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field monitoring team readings during a radioactive release scenario and for comparing the results with the EPA PAGs.

Personnel respond to the Technical Support Center, EOF, and Operations Support Center based on a scenario involving the release of radioactive materials to the environment. Off-site Field Monitoring Team(s) are dispatched to perform off-site radiological surveys.

Procedure NMP-EP-147-00X, SNC Field Monitoring Teams Radiological Surveys and Sampling (Reference 2), is used to perform offsite radiological surveys to assess offsite dose rates (exposures) and contamination (deposition) levels during the radioactive material release.

Procedure NMP-EP-147, Offsite Dose Assessment (Reference 3), is used to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field monitoring team survey readings during a radioactive release scenario. The results of the integrated dose estimate from the dose assessment program and the offsitefield monitoring team data are compared to the EPA PAG values identified in the SNCStandard Emergency Plan Annex for VEGP Unit 3 & Unit 4, Appendix B - Emergency Action Level Scheme using Procedure NMP-EP-141, Event Classification (Reference 4).

Scenario-specific drill objectives are generated using the guidance provided in procedure NMP-EP-303 to evaluate that response personnel are able to demonstrate that the means exist to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0362 Enclosure Page 3 of 3 monitoring team readings during a radioactive release scenario and for comparing the results with the EPA PAGs. An evaluation of the drill performance is conducted per procedure NMP-EP-303 to confirm the drill objectives, which demonstrate that the means exist to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field monitoring team readings during a radioactive release scenario and for comparing the results with the EPA PAGs, are met.

The drill performance (test) results are documented in Drill/Exercise Report XXX (Reference 5) per procedure NMP-EP-303. The Drill/Exercise Report documents and confirms that VEGP Unit 3 & Unit 4 and EOF response personnel demonstrated that the means exist to estimate integrated dose from the dose assessment program and the radiological field monitoring team readings during a radioactive release scenario and for comparing the results with the EPA PAGs.

List of ITAAC Findings 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 are no relevant ITAAC findings associated with this ITAAC.
