SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Licensee Notification of Completion of ITAAC
Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC), Georgia Power
Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, MEAG Power SPVM, LLC., MEAG
Power SPVJ, LLC., MEAG Power SPVP, LLC., and the City of Dalton,
Georgia, (hereafter called the licensee) has submitted ITAAC closure
notifications (ICNs) under Sec. 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,
and that the acceptance criteria are met for:
VEGP Unit 3 ITAAC
2.1.02.08a.ii (29), 2.2.03.08c.vi.01 (189), 2.2.03.08c.vi.02 (190),
2.5.01.03c (513), 2.5.02.13 (552), and E.3.9.05.01.05 (853)
VEGP Unit 4 ITAAC
2.1.02.08a.ii (29), 2.2.03.08c.vi.01 (189), 2.2.03.08c.vi.02 (190),
2.5.01.03c (513), and 2.5.02.13 (552)
The ITAAC for VEGP Unit 3 are in Appendix C of the VEGP Unit 3
combined license (ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A106). The ITAAC for VEGP
Unit 4 are in Appendix C of VEGP Unit 4 combined license (ADAMS
Accession No. ML14100A135).
II. NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the specified inspections, tests,
and analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified
acceptance criteria are met. The documentation of the NRC staff's
[[Page 69554]]
determination is in the ITAAC Closure Verification Evaluation Form
(VEF) for each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that represents the NRC staff's
structured process for reviewing ICNs. Each ICN presents a narrative
description of how the ITAAC was completed. The NRC's ICN review
process involves a determination on whether, among other things: (1)
Each 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)
each ICN provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the
acceptance criteria of the ITAAC are met; and (3) any NRC inspections
for the ITAAC have been completed and any ITAAC findings associated
with that ITAAC have been closed.
The NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of these
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 the staff receives new information that suggests
the staff's determination on any of these ITAAC is incorrect, then the
staff will determine whether to reopen that ITAAC (including
withdrawing the staff's determination on that ITAAC). 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 these ITAAC until the NRC makes an affirmative
finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future updates to the status of
these ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.
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.
