U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0612 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Proaram Commitment 8.1 The licensee conducts a partial participation exercise to evaluate portions of emergency response capabilities, which includes participation by each State and local agency within the plume exposure EPZ that have not been tested in a previous exercise. [N.I]

Inspections/Tests/Analvses 8.1 A partial participation exercise (test) will be conducted within the specified time periods of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.

Acceptance Criteria 8.1.2 Onsite emergency response personnel are mobilized in sufficient number to fill the emergency positions identified in SNC Standard Emergency Plan, Section B, Emergency Response Organization, and Vogtle (Units 3 &4) Standard Emergency Plan Annex, Section 2, Organizationai Controi of Emergencies, and they successfully perform theirassigned responsibilities as outlined in Acceptance Criterion 8.1.1.D, Emergency Response Faciiities.

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to ensurethat a partial participation exercise is conducted to evaluate portions of emergency response capabilities, which includes participation by each State and local agency within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) that have not been tested in a previous exercise. This ITAAC performs a partial participation exercise (test) within the specified time periods of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix Eand confirms that onsite emergency response personnel are mobilized in sufficient number to fill the emergency positions identified in Southern Nuclear Operating Company Standard Emergency Plan, Section B, Emergency Response Organization, and Standard Emergency Plan Annex for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 &4, Section 2, Organizational Control of Emergencies, and they successfully perform their assigned responsibilities as outlined in Acceptance Criterion 8.1.1 .D, Emergency Response Facilities.

An exercise scenario, simulating a radiological release to the environment, is developed and conducted using procedure NMP-EP-303 (Reference 1). Ascenario-specific onsite exercise objective is generated to evaluate that onsite emergency response personnel are mobilized in sufficient number to fill the emergency positions identified in Southern Nuclear Operating Company Standard Emergency Plan (Reference 2), Section B, Emergency Response Organization, Table 1 (Technical Support Center (TSC) 75 Minute Augmentation Emergency Response Organization ERO), Table 2 (Operations Support Center (OSC) 75 Minute Augmentation ERO), Table 3 (Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) 75 Minute Augmentation ERO) and Table 4 (Joint Information Center (JIC) Staff); and Standard Emergency Plan Annex for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4 (Reference 3), Section 2, Organizational Control of Emergencies, Table 2.2.A (Vogtle Electric Generating Plant On-Shift Staffing).

Confirmation that these emergency response personnel perform their assigned responsibilities as outlined in Acceptance Criterion 8.1.1 .D, Emergency Response Facilities, is documented in
