U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-18-1545 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Program Commitment 3.2 The means exists for communications from the control room to the NRC headquarters and regional office EOC.

[F.1.f]

Inspections/Tests/Analyses 3.2 A test will be performed of the communications capabilities from the control room, TSC and EOF to the NRC, including EROS.

Acceptance Criteria 3.2 Communications are established from the control room, TSC, and EOF, to the NRC headquarters and regional office EOC. The access port for EADS successfully completed a transfer of data to the NRC Operations Center.

ITAAC Completion Description A test of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 4 communications capabilities from the Main Control Room (MCA), Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) to the NRC, including the Emergency Response Data System (EADS), is performed to demonstrate that communications are established from the MCA, TSC, and EOF to the NRC headquarters and regional office Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and that the access port for EADS successfully completes a transfer of data to the NRC Operations Center.

Communications testing is performed per Procedure XXX (Reference 1). The scope of testing includes the verification of voice transmission and reception from the MCA, TSC, and EOF to the NRC headquarters and regional office EOC; and verification that the access port for EADS successfully completes a transfer of data to the NRC Operations Center. Included in the testing is verification that dedicated Emergency Notification System (ENS) lines are located in the MCA, TSC, and EOF and functional, and that dedicated Health Physics Network (HPN) lines are located in the TSC and EOF and functional.

The results of the testing are documented in Reference 1 and confirm that communications are established from the MCA, TSC, and EOF to the NRC headquarters and regional office EOC, and that the access port for EADS successfully completed a transfer of data to the NRC Operations Center.

Reference 1 is available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 4 ITAAC E.3.9.03.00.02 Completion Package (Reference 2).
