SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Licensee Notification of Completion of ITAAC
South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G), on behalf of itself and the
South Carolina Public Service
[[Page 34991]]
Authority, (both hereafter called the licensee) has submitted
inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (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:
VCSNS, Unit 2 ITAAC
2.1.02.08d.vii (38), 2.2.01.06d.i (105), 2.5.02.07b (535),
2.5.02.07e (538), 3.2.00.01a (739), 3.2.00.01b (740), and 3.2.00.01c.i
(741)
VCSNS, Unit 3 ITAAC
2.2.01.06d.i (105), 2.5.02.07b (535), 2.5.02.07e (538), 3.2.00.01a
(739), 3.2.00.01b (740), and 3.2.00.01c.i (741)
The ITAAC for VCSNS, Unit 2 are in Appendix C of the VCSNS, Unit 2
combined license (ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A092). The ITAAC for
VCSNS, Unit 3 are in Appendix C of VCSNS, Unit 3 combined license
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A101).
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
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 NRC staff receives new information that
suggests the NRC staff's determination on any of these ITAAC is
incorrect, then the NRC staff will determine whether to reopen that
ITAAC (including withdrawing the NRC 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 NRC 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.
