2. The VAS maintains each building area at a slightly negative pressure relative to the atmosphere or adjacent clean plant areas.

3. Displays of the parameters identified in Table 2.7.5-1 can be retrieved in the MCR.

Inspections/Tests/Analvses i) Testing will be performed to confirm that the VAS maintains each building at a slightly negative pressure when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans.

ii) Testing will be performed to confirm the ventilation flow rate through the auxiliary building fuel handling and rail car bay/solid radwaste system areas when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans.

iii) Testing will be performed to confirm the auxiliary building radiologically controlled area ventilation flow rate when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans.

Inspection will be performed for retrievability of the parameters in the MCR.

Acceptance Criteria i) The time average pressure differential in the served areas of the annex,fuel handling and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildings as measured by each of the instruments identified in Table 2.7.5-1 is negative.

ii) A report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 10,710 cfm.

iii) A report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 22,500 cfm.

The displays identified in Table 2.7.5-1 can be retrieved in the MCR.

ITAAC Completion Description The subject ITAAC verifies that the time average pressure differential in the served areas of the annex, fuel handling and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildings as measured by each of the instruments identified in VEGP Combined License(COL)Appendix C Table 2.7.5-1 (Attachment A) is negative and that displays of the parameters identified in Attachment A can be retrieved in the Main Control Room (MCR). Testing is performed to verify that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 10,710 cfm through the auxiliary building fuel handling and rail car bay/solid radwaste system areas when operating all Radiologically Controlled Area Ventilation System (VAS)supply Air Handling Units(AHUs) and all VAS exhaust fans, and that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-0525 Enclosure Page 3 of 6 22,500 cfm through the auxiliary building radiologically controlled area when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans.

i) The time average pressure differential in the served areas of the annex,fuel handlino and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildinos as measured bv each of the instruments identified in Table 2.7.5-1 is neoatiye.

Testing is performed in accordance with preoperational test procedures 3-VAS-ITPP-501 and 4-VAS-ITPP-501 (References 1 and 2)to confirm the time ayerage pressure differential in the seryed areas of the annex,fuel handling and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildings as measured by each of the instruments identified in Attachment A is negatiye.

Testing begins by yerifying the Annex/Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, the Fuel Handling Area(FHA) Ventilation System, unit heaters, unit coolers, duct heaters and humidifiers are all in seryice. An Oyation trend is established using the instruments in Attachment A and the test is run for a minimum of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The calculated ayerage yalue for each instrument is recorded in Reference 1 and 2, and yerified to meet the acceptance criteria.

The results of the testing confirm that the time ayerage pressure differential in the seryed areas of the annex,fuel handling and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildings as measured by each of the instruments identified in Table 2.7.5-1 is negatiye for Unit 3 and Unit 4.

ii) A report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or eoual to 10.710 cfm.

Testing is performed in accordance with preoperational test procedures 3-VAS-ITPP-501 and 4-VAS-ITPP-501 (References 1 and 2)to confirm that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates through the auxiliary building fuel handling and rail car bay/solid radwaste system areas when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans is greater than or equal to 10,710 cfm.

Testing begins by yerifying the Annex/Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, the FHA Ventilation System, unit heaters, unit coolers, duct heaters and humidifiers are all in seryice. The total exhaust flow yalues are determined during the system flow balance testing and documented in the flow balance test report of Reference 1 and 2.

The exhaust flow rate for Unit 3 is XX,XXX cfm and the exhaust flow rate for Unit 4 is YY,YYY cfm which confirms that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 10,710 cfm.

lib A reoort exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or eoual to 22.500 cfm.

Testing is performed in accordance with preoperational test procedures 3-VAS-ITPP-501 and 4-VAS-ITPP-501 (References 1 and 2)to confirm that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates through the auxiliary building radiologically controlled area when operating all VAS supply AHUs and all VAS exhaust fans is greater than or equal to 22,500 cfm.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-0525 Enclosure Page 4 of 6 Testing begins by verifying the Annex/Auxiliary Building Ventilation System, the FHA Ventilation System, unit heaters, unit coolers, duct heaters and humidifiers are all in service. The total exhaust flow values are determined during the system flow balance testing and documented in the flow balance test report of Reference 1 and 2.

The exhaust flow rate for Unit 3 is XX,XXX cfm and the exhaust flow rate for Unit 4 is YY,YYY cfm which confirms that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 22,500 cfm.

The disDiavs identified in Table 2.7.5-1 can be retrieved in the MGR.

An inspection is performed to verify the retrievability of the Vogtie Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 3 and Unit 4 plant parameters in the Main Control Room (MCR). The inspection for retrievability confirms that the displays of the parameters identified in Combined License(COL)

Appendix C Table 2.7.5-1 (Attachment A)can be retrieved in the MCR.

The inspection is performed in accordance with the Unit 3 and Unit 4 component test package work orders(References 3 and 4)and visually confirms that when each of the displays of parameters identified in Attachment A is summoned at an MCR workstation, the summoned plant parameter appears on a display monitor at that MCR workstation.

The results from References 3 and 4 confirm that the Unit 3 and Unit 4 plant parameter displays identified in Table 2.7.5-1 can be retrieved in the MCR.

The results of the testing and inspections confirm that for Unit 3 and Unit 4, the time average pressure differential in the served areas of the annex,fuel handling and radiologically controlled auxiliary buildings as measured by each of the instruments identified in Table 2.7.5-1 is negative, that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 10,710 cfm, that a report exists and concludes that the calculated exhaust flow rate based on the measured flow rates is greater than or equal to 22,500 cfm, and that the displays identified in Table 2.7.5-1 can be retrieved in the MCR.
