U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0538 Enclosure Page 2 of 5 ITAAC Statement Design Commitment 11.a) The motor-operated and check valves identified in Table 2.2.1-1 perform an active safety-related function to change position as indicated in the table .

Inspections/Tests/Analyses i) Tests or type tests of motor-operated valves will be performed to demonstrate the capability of each valve to operate under design conditions .

ii) Inspection will be performed for the existence of a report verifying that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tests or type tests.

Acceptance Criteria i) A test report exists and concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.2.1-1 under design conditions .

ii) A report exists and concludes that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tests or type tests .

ITAAC Determination Basis Multiple Inspections, Tests , Analyses , and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) were performed to demonstrate that the Containment System (CNS) motor-operated valves identified in the Combined License (COL) Appendix C, Table 2.2.1-1 perform an active safety-related function to change position as indicated in the table .

i) A test report exists and concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.2.1-1 under design conditions.

This portion of the subject ITAAC required tests or type tests of motor-operated valves to be performed to demonstrate the capability of the valve to operate under its design conditions .

The motor-operated valves identified in COL Appendix C, Table 2.2.1-1 were qualified in accordance with the provisions of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) QME-1-2007, Qualification of Active Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Plants (Reference 1).

Functional qualification was performed under the design conditions identified in the design specification for the valves (Reference 2) to demonstrate that each motor-operated valve is qualified to perform its designated function when used in its intended service . In accordance with ASME QME 2007, qualification was substantiated by demonstrating the relationship between the service requirements and the type testing and analysis that was conducted as part of this qualification program .

Type testing was performed , including natural frequency determination , side load static deflection testing , final static seat and stem leakage testing , steam testing , and water testing , for the ranges of the pressure, temperature and flow for each valve and the maximum seat-sealing differential pressure .

In accordance with ASME QME-1-2007 , the functional qualification process for these motor-operated valve assemblies also included valve and actuator internal inspections and measurement, orientation requirements , seat and stem leakage limitations, diagnostic data collection and analysis methods ,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-22-0538 Enclosure Page 3 of 5 static and dynamic flow diagnostic testing, and pressure locking and thermal binding evaluations . The qualification also followed the provisions of ASME QME-1-2007 for the extrapolation of functional qualification to another valve assembly, and demonstration of functional capability of production valve assemblies.

The results of the qualification are documented in the Equipment Qualification (EQ) Reports (Reference 3) which are identified in Attachment A for each applicable valve . These reports summarize the test methodology and ASME QME-1-2007 functional qualification that demonstrate that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in COL Appendix C, Table 2.2.1-1 under design conditions .

ii) A report exists and concludes that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tests or type tests .

This portion of the subject ITAAC required that an inspection be performed for the existence of a report verifying that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by tests or type tests .

The motor-operated valves in COL Appendix C, Table 2.2.1-1 were verified by type tests in accordance with section i) above, to demonstrate the capability of the valves to operate under their design conditions . The EQ Reports in Attachment A identify the equipment mounting employed for the testing and the specific conditions tested .

In accordance with the EQ ITAAC As-built Walkdown Guideline (Reference 4) and the EQ ITAAC As-built Installation Documentation Guideline (Reference 5) , an inspection was conducted of the CNS to confirm the satisfactory installation of the motor-operated valves . The inspection included verification of equipment make/model/serial number, verification of equipment mounting and location, and verification that the mechanical and electrical connections are bounded by the tested conditions .

The documentation of installed configuration of the motor-operated valves includes photographs and/or sketches of equipment mounting and connections. The verification of installed equipment configuration is documented in As-Built EQ Reconciliation Reports (EQRRs) (Reference 6).

Attachment A identifies the EQRRs which verify that the installed configuration of the motor-operated valves identified in COL Appendix C, Table 2.2.1-1 are bounded by the tests or type tests .

Together, these EQ Reports and EQRRs (References 3 and 6), provide evidence that the ITAAC Acceptance Criteria requirements are met:

• A test report exists and concludes that each motor-operated valve changes position as indicated in Table 2.2.1-1 under design conditions ; and

• A report exists and concludes that the as-built motor-operated valves are bounded by the tests or type tests .

References 3 and 6 are available for NRC Inspection as part of the Unit 4 ITAAC 2.2.01 .11 a.i Completion Package (Reference 7) .

ITAAC Finding Review In accordance with plant procedures for ITAAC 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 was one relevant ITAAC finding associated with this ITAAC .

• Unresolved Item (URI)05200026/2017002-02 . (closed)

The corrective actions for this finding have been completed and the finding is closed. The ITAAC completion review is documented in the ITAAC Completion Package for ITAAC 2.2.01 .11 a.i (Reference 7) and is available for NRC review.

ITAAC Completion Statement Based on the above information , SNC hereby notifies the NRC that ITAAC 2.2.01 .11 a.i was performed for VEGP Unit 4 and that the prescribed acceptance criteria were met.

Systems, structures, and components verified as part of this ITAAC are being maintained in their as-designed, ITAAC compliant condition in accordance with approved plant programs and procedures.
