U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-21-1115 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 5.c) The boundaries between the following rooms, which contain safety-related equipment -

PXS valve/accumulator room A (11206), PXS valve/accumulator room B (11207), and CVS room (11209) - are designed to prevent flooding between these rooms.

Inspections/Tests/ Analyses An inspection of the boundaries between the following rooms which contain safety-related equipment - PXS Valve/Accumulator Room A (11206), PXS Valve/Accumulator Room B (11207), and CVS Room (11209) - will be performed.

Acceptance Criteria A report exists that confirms that flooding of the PXS Valve/Accumulator Room A (11206), and the PXS Valve/Accumulator Room B (11207) is prevented to a maximum flood level as follows:

PXS A 110'-2", PXS B 110'-1 "; and of the CVS room (11209) to a maximum flood level of 110'-0".

ITAAC Determination Basis An inspection of the boundaries between the following rooms which contain safety-related equipment - Passive Core Cooling System (PXS) Valve/Accumulator Room A (11206), PXS Valve/Accumulator Room B (11207), and Chemical and Volume Control System (CVS) Room (11209) - was performed to derr.o:1strate that the boundaries between these rooms a:-e designed to prevent flooding between these rooms.

The inspection was performed to document the existence of provisions to prevent flooding between rooms via openings or penetrations below the maximum flood levels of 110'-2" for PXS A, 110'-1" for PXS B (including adjacent room 11208), and 110'-0" for the CVS room. A visual inspection was performed of the floors, walls, and ceilings of each room indicated above. As part of this visual inspection, all openings, and penetrations through these boundaries below the maximum flood levels were documented. Each opening or penetration located below the maximum flood levels was inspected to ensure that watertight hatches, curbs (flood weirs), and penetration seals specified in the design documents to prevent flooding from the flooding source to the adjacent rooms are installed as required. In addition, the height of each curb (flood weir) was verified to ensure flooding between the rooms is prevented.

The inspection plan and results of the visual inspection of the floors, walls and ceiling were documented in the Unit 3 inspection report (Reference 1 ). The inspection results compiled in Reference 1 confirm that floors, walls, and ceilings have provisions to prevent flooding between the PXS Valve/ Accumulator Room A (11206), PXS Valve/Accumulator Room B (11207), and the CVS room (11209) up to the maximum flood levels for each room (i.e., PXS A 110'-2", PXS B 110'-1 "; and CVS room 110'-0").

Reference 1 is available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 3 ITAAC 3.3.00.0Sc Completion Package (Reference 2).
