1. The functional arrangement of the SGS and portions of the FWS, MSS, and MTS are as described in the Design Description of this Section 2.2.4.

Inspections, Tests, Analyses:

Inspection of the as-built system will be performed.

Acceptance Criteria:

The as-built SGS and portions of the FWS, MSS, and MTS conform with the functional arrangement as defined in the Design Description of this Section 2.2.4.

ITAAC Determination Basis An inspection of the as-built steam generator system (SGS) and portions of the main and startup feedwater system (FWS), main steam system (MSS) and main turbine system (MTS), was conducted after completion of construction to confirm that the functional arrangement of the SGS, FWS, MSS, and MTS is as described in the Design Description of Combined License (COL)

Appendix C, Section 2.2.4. This inspection encompassed the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) identified in the COL Appendix C, Section 2.2.4 Design Description, including Table 2.2.4-5 and Figure 2.2.4-1, sheets 1 and 2, and portions of the FWS, MSS, and MTS as shown in Figure 2.2.4-1, sheet 3.

The inspection (walkdown) was completed in accordance with ND-RA-001-012 Functional and Physical Arrangement Scoping Process (Reference 1), which required the preparation of a detailed inspection plan. This inspection plan included the use of detailed drawings such as Piping and Instrumentation Drawings (P&IDs) or Single Line Elementary Drawings to perform visual observations and compare the as-built system to the Design Description.

The inspection results are documented in the Unit 4 Principal Closure Document (Reference 2) supporting the Unit 4 ITAAC 2.2.04.01 Completion Package (Reference 3) and verified that the SSCs are physically arranged and located to perform the functions described in the Design Description and referenced figures and table. The inspection results confirmed that the as-built SGS and portions of the FWS, MSS, and MTS conforms with the functional arrangement as described in the COL Appendix C, Section 2.2.4 Design Description.

The Principal Closure Document is available for NRC inspection as well as the Unit 4 ITAAC 2.2.04.01 Completion Package.
