SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Licensee Notification of Completion of ITAAC
On February 1, 2013, Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (the
licensee) submitted an ITAAC closure notification (ICN) under section
52.99(c)(1) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
informing the NRC that the licensee has successfully performed the
required inspections, tests, and analyses for ITAAC E.2.5.04.05.05.01,
and that the specified acceptance criteria are met for Vogtle Electric
Generating Plant, Unit 3
[[Page 36278]]
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13032A592). This ITAAC was approved as part of
the issuance of the combined license, NPF-91, for this facility.
NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the inspections, tests, and
analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified
acceptance criteria are met for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Unit
3, ITAAC E.2.5.04.05.05.01. This notice fulfills the staff's
obligations under 10 CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in the Federal
Register of the NRC staff's determination of the successful completion
of inspections, tests and analyses.
The documentation of the NRC staff's determination is in the ITAAC
Closure Verification Evaluation Form (VEF), dated March 19, 2013 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML13109A243). The VEF is a form that represents the NRC
staff's structured process for reviewing ICNs. The ICN presents a
narrative description of how the ITAAC was completed, and the NRC's ICN
review process involves a determination on whether, among other things,
(1) the ICN provides sufficient information, including a summary of the
methodology used to perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that the
inspections, tests, and analyses have been successfully completed; (2)
the ICN provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the
acceptance criteria are met; and (3) any required inspections for the
ITAAC have been completed and any ITAAC findings associated with the
ITAAC have been closed.
The NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of this
ITAAC is based on information available at this time and is subject to
the licensee's ability to maintain the condition that the acceptance
criteria are met. If new information disputes the NRC staff's
determination, this ITAAC will be reopened as necessary. The NRC
staff's determination will be used to support a subsequent finding,
pursuant to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of construction that all
acceptance criteria in the combined license are met. The ITAAC closure
process is not finalized for this ITAAC until the NRC makes an
affirmative finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future updates to the
status of this ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of June 2013.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Licensing Branch 4, Division of New Reactor
Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
