Southern Nuclear Operating Company Vogtie Electric Generating Plant Unit 3 and Unit 4 Notice of Uncompleted ITAAC 225-davs Prior to Initial Fuel Load Item 2.3.08.02.111 [Index Number 4171 Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.99(c)(3), Southern NuclearOperating Company hereby notifies the NRC that as of November 20, 2018, Vogtie Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit 3 and Unit 4 Uncompleted Inspection, Test, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) Item 2.3.08.02.iii
[Index Number 417] has not been completed greaterthan225-days prior to initial fuel load. The Enclosure describes the plan forcompleting ITAAC 2.3.08.02.111 [Index Number417]. Southern Nuclear Operating Company will, at a later date, provide additional notifications for ITAAC that have not been completed 225-days prior to initial fuel load.
Southern Nuclear Operating Company(SNC) previously submitted Notice of Uncompleted ITAAC 225-days Prior to Initial Fuel Load for Item 2.3.08.02.111 [Index Number 417] ND-17-1231
[ML17214A778] datedJuly 31,2017. This resubmittal supersedes ND-17-1231 in its entirety.
This notification is informed bythe guidance described in NEI 08-01, Industry Guideline forthe ITAAC Closure Process Under 10 CFR Part 52, which was endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory Guide 1.215. In accordance with NEI 08-01, this notification includes ITAAC for which required inspections, tests, oranalyses have not been performed or have beenonly partially completed.
All ITAAC will be fully completed and all Section 52.99(c)(3) ITAAC Closure Notifications will be submittedto NRC to support the Commission finding that all acceptance criteria are met prior to plant operation, as required by 10 CFR 52.103(g).
This letter contains no new NRC regulatory commitments.
If there are any questions, please contact Tom Petrak at 706-848-1575.
Respectfully submitted.

- 2. The SWS provides the nonsafety-related function of transferring heat from the component cooling water system to the surrounding atmosphere to support plant shutdown and spent fuel pool cooling.
Insoections/Tests/Analvses iii) Testing will be performed to confirm that the SWS cooling tower basin has adequate reserve volume.
Acceotance Criteria iii) The SWS tower basin contains a usable volumeofat least 230,000 gallons at the basin low level alarm setpoint.
ITAAC Completion Description Multiple ITAAC are performed to verify that the Service Water System (SWS) provides the nonsafety-related function of transferring heat from the Component Cooling Water System (CCS) to the surroundingatmosphere to support plantshutdown and spent fuel poolcooling.
The subject ITAAC requirestesting be performed to confirm that the SWS cooling towerbasin contains useable volume of at least 230,000 gallons at the basin low level alarm setpoint.
Testing is performed in accordance with Unit 3 and Unit 4 preoperational test procedures 3-SWS-ITPP-501 and 4-SWS-ITPP-501 (References 1 and 2, respectively) to confirm that the SWS pumps will operate to provide required flow and pressure at the low-2 alarm setpoint inthe SWS cooling towerbasin. The usable volume is defined as the volume contained between the low levelalarm setpoint (low-1) and the lowest usable levelalarm setpoint (low-2). As part ofthe test procedure, the as-builtdimensions ofthe basin and allstructural components that reduce the useable volume, are measured. The as-built dimensions along with the appropriate measurement uncertainty are used to determine the basin volume.
The preoperational test ensures the SWS is ina normal system alignment with the cooling tower basin divider open and makeup water isolated. The cooling tower basin level is loweredto the low-2 setpointand bothSWS pumps are verified to provide the proper pressure and flow. The usable volume of the basin is calculated by measuring the as-built dimensions of the basin between the low-1 and low-2 setpolnts and subtracting the as-built volume of the structural components inside the basin. The results ofthe volumecalculation and the SWS pumptesting demonstrate the Unit 3 SWS cooling tower basin contains XXXXXX usable gallons at the low-1 setpoint and Unit 4 SWS cooling tower basin contains XXXXXX usable gallons at the low-1 setpoint.
The Unit 3 and Unit 4 preoperationaltest results (References 1 and 2) confirm that the SWS cooling towerbasin contains a usable volume ofat least 230,000gallonsat the basin low level alarm setpoint.
