U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0591 Enclosure Page 2 of 3 IT AAC Statement Design Commitment 7.b) The SFS provides spent fuel cooling for 7 days by boiling the spent fuel pool water and makeup water from on-site storage tanks.

Inspections, Tests, Analysis vii) Inspection will be performed to verify the cask loading pit includes sufficient volume of water.

Acceptance Criteria vii) The water volume of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping is greater than or equal to 46,050 gallons.

ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple ITAAC are performed to demonstrate that the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System (SFS) provides spent fuel cooling for 7 days by boiling the spent fuel pool water and makeup water from on-site storage tanks . For this ITAAC, an inspection was performed to verify the water volume of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping is greater than or equal to 46,050 gallons.

An inspection was performed of the as-built dimensions of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping. Measurements were taken using survey equipment in accordance with 26139-000-4MP-T81 C-N3201 , "Construction Survey" (Reference 1). The volume was calculated using the inspection results of survey data starting from the bottom of the gate to the calculated invert elevation of the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping. The calculated volume of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping was compared to the minimum volume of 46,050 gallons specified in the ITAAC Acceptance Criteria. The results of the comparison are documented in Inspection Report SV4-SFS-FSK-900881 for the water volume of the cask loading pit room 12463 (References 2) . The results of the inspection verify the calculated volume of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping is 46,216 gallons.

The results are documented in the Unit 4 Principle Closure Document (Reference 2) which show the water volume of the cask loading pit above the bottom of the gate and below the spent fuel pool cooling suction piping is greater than 46,050 gallons and meets the ITAAC acceptance criteria.

Reference 2 is available for NRC inspection as part of the Unit 4 ITAAC completion package (Reference 3) .

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0591 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 lTAAC findings pertaining to the subject ITAAC and associated corrective actions. This review found that there are no relevant ITAAC findings associated with this ITAAC.
