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 bythe guidance described in NEI 08-01, Industry Guideline forthe ITAACClosure 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.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0818 Enclosure Page 2 of 5 ITAAC Statement Desion Commitment 11.a) The motor-operatedand check valves identified in Table 2.3.2-1 perform an active safety-related function to change position as indicated inthe table.
Inspections. Tests. Analvses i) Tests ortypetests ofmotor-operated valves will be performed that demonstrate the capability of the valve to operate under its design conditions.
ii) Inspection will be performed for the existenceofa report verifying that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tested conditions.
Acceptance Criteria i) Atest report existsand concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.3.2-1 under design conditions.
ii) Areport exists and concludes thatthe as-built motor-operated valves are bounded bythe tests or type tests.
ITAAC Completlon Description Multiple Inspections, Tests, Analyses, andAcceptance Criteria (ITAAC) are performed to demonstrate that the Chemical and VolumeControl System (CVS) motor-operated valves identified inthe Combined License (COL) Appendix C, Table 2.3.2-1 perform an active safety-related function to change position as indicated inthe table.
h A test report exists and concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.3.2-1 under desion conditions.
This portion of thesubject ITAAC requires testsortype tests of motor-operated valves tobe performed todemonstrate thecapability of the valve tooperate under its design conditions.
Themotor-operated valves identified in COL Appendix C,Table 2.3.2-1 are qualified in accordance with the provisions of American Society ofMechanical Engineers (ASME)
QME-1-2007, "Qualification ofActive Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Plants" (Reference 1).
Functional qualification isperformed under thedesign conditions identified in thedesign specification for thevalves (Reference 2) todemonstrate that each motor-operated valve is qualified to perform its designated function when used in its intended service. In accordance with ASME QME-1-2007, qualification is substantiated bydemonstrating the relationship between the service requirements and the typetesting and analysis that was conducted as part of this qualification program.
Type testing isperformed, including natural frequency determination, side load static deflection testing, final static seat and stem leakage testing, steam testing, and water testing, for the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-0818 Enclosure Page 3 of 5 ranges of the pressure, temperature and flowfor each valve and the maximum seat-sealing differential pressure. In accordance with ASME QME-1-2007, the functional qualification process for these motor-operated valve assemblies also included valve and actuator internal inspections and measurement, orientation requirements, seat and stem leakage limitations, diagnostic data collection and analysis methods, static and dynamic flow diagnostic testing, and pressure locking and thermal binding evaluations. The qualification also followed the provisions of ASME QME-1-2007 for the extrapolation of functional qualification to another valve assembly, and demonstration of functional capability of production valve assemblies.
The results of the qualification are documented in the Equipment Qualification (EQ) Reports (Reference 3) which are identified in Attachment A for each applicable valve. These reports summarize the test methodology and ASME QME-1-2007 functional qualification that demonstrate that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in VEGP Unit 3 and Unit 4 COL Appendix C Table 2.3.2-1 under design conditions.
iil A report exists and concludes that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded bv the tests or tvpe tests.
This portion of the subject ITAAC requires that an inspection is performed for the existence of a report verifying that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by tests or type tests.
The motor-operated valves in VEGP Unit 3 and Unit 4 COL Appendix C Table 2.3.2-1 are verified by type tests in accordance with ITAAC 2.3.02.1 la.i to demonstrate the capability of the valves to operate under their design conditions. The EQ Reports in Attachment A identifythe equipment mounting employed for the testing and the specific conditions tested.
In accordance with the EQ Walkdown ITAAC Guideline (Reference 4), an inspection is conducted of the CVS to confirm the satisfactory installation of the motor-operated valves. The inspection includes verification of equipment make/model/serial number, verification of equipment mounting and location, and verification that the mechanical and electrical connections are bounded by the tested conditions.
The documentation of installed configuration of the motor-operated valves includes photographs and/or sketches of equipment mounting and connections. The verification of installed component configuration is documented inthe As-Built EQ Reconciliation Report(s) (EQRR)
(Reference 5).
Attachment A identifies the EQRR which verifythat the installed configuration of the motor-operated valves identified in VEGP Unit3 and Unit4 COL Appendix C Table 2.3.2-1 are bounded by the tests or type tests.
Together, these EQ Reports and EQRR (References 3 and 5), provide evidence that the ITAAC Acceptance Criteria requirements are met:
A test report exists and concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.3.2-1 under design conditions; and A report exists and concludes that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tests or type tests.
