Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3 ITAAC Closure Notification on Completion of ITAAC 2.2.03.08c.iv.03 findex Number 1851 Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with 10 CFR 52.99(c)(1), the purpose of this letter is to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ofthe completion ofVogtle Electric Generating Plant(VEGP) Unit 3 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item 2.2.03.08c.iv.03 [Index Number 185] for verifying that the maximum elevation ofthe top inside surface ofthe Core Makeup Tank (CMT) discharge lines to Direct Vessel Injection (DVI) connection is less thanthe elevation of the CMT bottom inside surface. The closure process for this ITAAC is based on the guidance described in NEI 08-01, "Industry Guideline forthe ITAAC Closure Process under 10 CFR Part 52,"
which was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.215.
This lettercontains no new NRC regulatory commitments. Southern NuclearOperating Company (SNC) requests NRC staff confirmation of this determination and publication of the required notice in the Federal Register per 10 CFR 52.99.
If there are any questions, please contact Tom Petrak at 706-848-1575.
Respectfully submitted, Michael J. Yox Regulatory Affairs Direptor Vogtle 3 &4

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-1272 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Desion Commitment:
8.c) The PXS provides RCS makeup, boration,and safety injection duringdesign basis events.
Insoections.Tests. Analvsis:
iv)
Inspections ofthe elevation ofthe following pipe lineswill be conducted:
- 3. CMT discharge lines to DVI connection Acceptance Criteria iv)
Themaximum elevation ofthe topinside surface of these lines is less thanthe elevation of:
- 3. CMT bottom inside surface ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple ITAAC are performed todemonstrate thatthe Passive Core Cooling System (PXS) provides Reactor Coolant System (RCS) makeup, boration, and safetyinjection during design basis events. This ITAAC requires that inspections be conducted to verify that the maximum elevation ofthe top inside surface ofthe Core Makeup Tank (CMT) discharge linesto Direct Vessel Injection (DVI) connection is less than the elevation ofCMT bottom inside surface.
The inspection ofthe CMT discharge lines to DVI connection top inside surfaceand the bottom insidetank surface of both CMTs (SV3-PXS-MT-02A and -02B) elevations was performed using survey equipment in accordance with sitesurvey andmeasurement procedure (Reference 1).
The conservative wall thickness, derived from installed pipe data, was subtracted from the top-of-pipe survey data to obtain the highest elevation ofthe inside surfaceofthese lines.
Additionally, calculations, based upon as-built manufacturer's data, combined with field measurements, were used to determinethe elevation ofthe bottom insidesurface ofeach CMT.
The maximum derived elevationof the top inside surface ofthe CMT discharge linesto DVI connection was comparedto the derived elevation ofthe bottom inside surfaces ofeach associated CMT using a common reference point.
Theinspection results documented in Reference 2, verify thatthe maximum elevation of the CMT Adischarge linesto DVI connection top insidesurface is 105.39feet, the maximum elevation ofthe CMT Bdischarge linesto DVI connection top inside surface is 105.44feet, and the elevation of the CMT bottom inside surface is 107.09 feet and 107.13 feet for CMT A and B, respectively, which meets the ITAAC acceptance criteria.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-1272 Enclosure Page 3 of 3 ITAAC Finding Review 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 ITAACfindings associated with this ITAAC. The ITAAC completion review is documented in the ITAAC Completion Package for ITAAC 2.2.03.08c.iv.03 (Reference 3) and is available for NRC review.
ITAAC Completlon Statement Based on the above information, SNC hereby notifies the NRC that ITAAC 2.2.03.08c.iv.03 was performed for VEGP Unit3 and that the prescribed acceptance criteria are met.
