U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-19-1259 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment

1. The HFE verification and validation program is performed in accordance with the HFE verification and validation implementation plan and includes the following activities:

e) Plant HFE/HSI (as designed at the time of plant startup) verification I nspections/Tests/Analvses e) An evaluation of the implementation of the plant HFE/HSI (as designed at the time of plant startup) verification will be performed.

Acceptance Criteria e) A report exists and concludes that: The plant HFE/HSI, as designed at the time of plant startup, is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in l.a) through l.d).

ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to verify that the Human Factors Engineering (HFE)verification and validation program, as described in VEGP 3&4 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 18.11, Human Factors Engineering Verification and Validation (Reference 1), is performed in accordance with the HFE verification and validation implementation plan. The subject IT/\AC requires that an evaluation of the implementation of the plant HFE/Human-System Interface (HFE/HSI)(as designed at the time of plant startup, is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in l.a) through l.d)(IT/\AC 3.2.00.01a through 3.2.00.01d, References 2-6).

An evaluation is performed in accordance with the API000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Plan (Reference 7), to demonstrate that the plant HFE/HSI design at the time of plant startup conforms to the human factors principles and guidance as specified in APP-OCS-GBH-001 "API000 Human Factors Engineering Program Plan" (Reference 8). The results of the evaluation are documented in the API000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Report (Reference 9).

The API000 Plant Startup Human Factors Engineering Design Verification Report exists and concludes that the plant HFE/HSI, as designed at the time of plant startup, is consistent with the HFE/HSI verified in l.a) through l.d),(ITAAC 3.2.00.01a through 3.2.00.01 d). This report is available for NRG inspection as part of the ITAAC Completion Package (Reference 10),

List of ITAAC Findings In accordance with plant procedures for IT/\AC 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 IT/VAC findings associated with this ITAAC.
