INSPECTION OF ITAAC-RELATED INSTALLATION 

OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS 

PROGRAM APPLICABILITY: 2503 

65000.08-01 INSPECTION OBJECTIVES 

01.01 To determine whether the installations of electrical components and systems (ECS) 

are being performed in accordance with specifications, drawings, and approved 

procedures. 

01.02 To determine whether the records of installations, inspections, tests, and analyses 

of safety-related ECS accurately reflect the completed work. 

01.03 To evaluate the adequacy of the implementation of the specific quality assurance 

(QA) program requirements related to ECS installation activities and to assure that 

problems are identified and entered into the corrective action process. 

65000.08-02 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE 

For purposes of this procedure, ECS consist of those items of the facility that are designed 

to supply, use, control, transform, condition, or interrupt electric power, except for the 

electric cables. It does not cover instrumentation and controls or valves, although electrical 

input to valves is included. Cables and raceways are treated separately in Inspection 

Procedure (IP) 65001.09. For instrumentation and controls and valves, see IP 65001.10 

and IP 65001.7, respectively. For the ECS listed in this inspection procedure, periodic 

inspections shall be performed on a frequency sufficient to provide an independent 

verification of work activities that support an ITAAC determination as defined in IMC 2503. 

General Guidance. Select a sufficient number of ECS from the applicable categories 

below to include all targeted ITAAC associated with the review of ECS. 

a. Onsite AC Power Systems and Supporting Systems (diesel generators and the 

safety-related medium and low voltage distribution systems) 

b. DC Systems (this includes batteries, racks, battery chargers, and inverter/UPS) 

c. Distribution, Control, and Protective Apparatus (include but are not limited to, 

transformers, switchgear, large motors, motor generator sets, motor control 

centers, and heaters.) 

d. Emergency Lighting System (Main Control Room and Remote Shutdown 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 2 65001.08

Workstation) 

e. Grounding and Surge Protection System (including lightning protection) 

f. Electrical Components as listed in the following paragraphs 

This construction IP applies, but is not limited, to the following additional safety-related 

electrical equipment and associated items: electrical penetration assemblies, electrical 

inputs only to valves, local cabinets, protective devices, interlocks, circuit breakers, 

contacts, relays, motor starters, fuses, and electrical control panels. 

By utilizing the applicable sections below, the inspectors will assess whether in-process 

and/or completed work activities relative to the installation of ECS are performed in 

accordance with approved work procedures, specifications, and drawings. 

The inspector should review the plant design and determine which of the above 

categories of ECS are applicable. The inspector should then review the ITAAC Matrix 

for the facility to determine the ITAAC residing in Afamilies@ along Row (08) for AECS.@ 

Utilizing the results of the above reviews, the inspectors will select a sample of ECS for 

inspection based on the construction and ITAAC completion schedules. The sample 

selection should be based on importance to operational safety and should include 

redundant components and a diversity of components and locations. Prior to inspecting 

selected items, the inspector(s) should review the specifications, drawings, work 

procedures, QA procedures, and work schedules (construction, testing, acceptance) 

appropriate to the ECS selected for inspection. 

Inspection of selected ECS shall be accomplished by observation and evaluations of 

both in-process and completed work at the appropriate stage of completion for the 

activity to be inspected. The early inspections will focus on in-process activities to verify 

that the licensee=s construction procedures and processes are being properly 

implemented. The later inspections will focus on completed work and the as-built 

verification of ECS. 

Because of the importance and extent of ECS, inspection activities are to be conducted 

periodically. The inspection for in-process installations should be performed as often as 

significant component installation activities are taking place but no less than every 6 

months during the component installation construction period, which is expected to be 

about 36 - 39 months. In-process installation inspections should be scheduled to match 

appropriate installation activities. The inspections for completed work and testing should 

be performed at a minimum of every six months. 

02.01 Inspection Sample Selection Sample selection shall be based on importance to 

operational safety and shall include redundant components and diversity of components 

and locations. Listed below are typical ECS that might be selected for inspection. 

a. Standby onsite AC power supply and supporting subsystems

f. Containment Penetrations 

02.02 In-Process Installation. As appropriate observe and evaluate in-process 

installations pertaining to the ECS selected in Section 02.01 above. Through direct 

inspection, confirm the following, as applicable, have been met: 

a. Perform a review of site procedures as described in IP 65001, Step 02.02. 

b. Factory testing has been successfully completed and accepted by the licensee or 

their agents. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 4 65001.08

Guidance. The inspector should verify that the licensee=s records indicate the duration, 

date, time, type, and location of the tests performed. The records should also contain 

the basis for that type of test and what the results indicate. 

c. Required handling and storage has been maintained. 

Guidance. The inspector should verify that the vendor=s handling and storage 

requirements in accordance with a vendor manual or equivalent document are being 

followed. 

d. The latest approved revision of applicable construction specifications, drawings, 

and/or construction procedures are available and used by the installers. 

Guidance. The inspectors should periodically check that the most recent approved 

revisions of the construction documents are used and that there are no missing or 

inappropriate approvals. The installation records should indicate the actual revision of 

the documents used during the installation. 

e. The components are installed in the proper location and orientation by qualified 

craft personnel using suitable equipment and tools. 

Guidance. "Qualified craft personnel" means those employees who achieved suitable 

proficiency to do their assigned tasks by training and/or previous experience, and who 

understand the installation procedures, drawings, and specifications necessary for their 

work. The installation records should indicate the craft personnel who performed the 

work and the independent reviewer who verified the work, and they should contain 

signoff blocks to indicate who performed or verified a particular step in the work 

procedures. The installation records should also indicate that the ECS were mounted at 

the correct locations. 

f. Associated mounting hardware, supports, and anchors are of the type (i.e., welded, 

bolted, etc.) and materials specified and are properly located. 

Guidance. For some of the supports and anchors, the inspector should directly measure 

or otherwise, independently verify that the requirements pertaining to certain items, such 

as equipment and support locations and bolt sizes, are as specified. The installation 

records should indicate that the proper supports were installed and located per the 

drawings, and they should describe any discrepancies. 

1. During installation of equipment, anchor holes are sometimes drilled in 

concrete structures. Indiscriminate cutting of reinforcing steel should not be 

allowed. 

2. The inspector should ensure that proper welding requirements are specified 

and controlled. AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code, is usually specified for 

welding of supports. Construction specifications and drawings should specify 

the welding requirements to be used. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 5 65001.08

g. The required component identification is properly established or maintained. 

Guidance. For field-mounted ECS, their identification should be attached to them. 

Panel-mounted ECS and the panel should be correctly identified. The installation 

records should indicate that the ECS were identified in accordance with the construction 

drawings and specifications. 

h. Installed components are adequately protected from damage by adjacent 

construction activities. 

Guidance. It is important to ascertain whether installed ECS or conditions exist where 

prohibited. For example, ECS must be located so they are not exposed to potential 

hazards, such as, high pressure piping or flammable material. The installation records 

should identify the potential hazards to the ECS being installed, and they should indicate 

how the licensee protected and/or reported which ECS are in need of protection. 

i. Licensee and contractor inspections are performed or scheduled to be performed 

before Acovering up@ the work to be inspected; QA hold points are observed. 

Guidance. This is applicable to the supports for field-mounted components, like panels, 

in floors and walls. The installation records should indicate that each step of the 

installation was inspected by QA before proceeding to subsequent steps that could 

cover up the work just performed. 

j. Non-conformances are identified and handled in accordance with established 

procedures. 

Guidance. The non-conformances in regards to evaluation and reporting should not 

only meet the licensee=s procedural requirements but also the regulations 10 CFR 21,10 

CFR 50.55(e), and/or 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV. The records should identify 

any non-conformances, and they should indicate that they were processed and 

evaluated per established channels. 

k. Deviations from installation drawings and instructions are approved prior to 

implementation, and all deviations are recorded on as-built documents. 

Guidance. The inspector should verify that field and design changes are approved in 

the manner and to the same degree as the original design for the ECS and in 

accordance with the licensee=s procedures. The installation records should identify all 

field and design changes used for the installation. 

l. Review applicable electrical design calculations (e.g., voltage drop calculations, 

diesel loading, ac and/or dc load studies, short circuit calculations, etc.). 

Guidance. That information should be correctly translated into specifications, 

construction procedures, and drawings for ITAAC-related ECS. For example, the 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 6 65001.08

voltage drop calculation should show that the minimum voltage expected at the 

terminals of a device is greater than or equal to the manufacturer=s minimum specified 

voltage. The licensee should have calculations demonstrating that the batteries, 

chargers, regulating transformers, DC distribution panels, motor control centers, and 

invertors, and their circuit breakers and fuses are sized to meet the expected load 

requirements without exceeding nameplate ratings. 

m. Verify that the electrical components are rated (e.g., voltage, current, interrupting, 

current withstand, type, size, material, etc.) consistent with the results of the 

analysis and calculations reviewed in the previous step of this IP.

Guidance. The inspector should verify that the ratings on the ECS agree with the 

construction specifications, vendor manuals, vendor test records, and certificates of 

compliance. The ECS should be qualified for their environments per environmentally 

qualified (EQ) and seismically qualified (SQ) reports. Even ECS in a non-harsh 

environment must be rated to function in that environment. Review the seismic test 

reports and/or analyses for selected Seismic Category 1 equipment and verify that the 

information demonstrates that the equipment is capable of performing its function during 

and after the time it is subjected to the forces resulting from one safe shutdown 

earthquake (SSE). In addition, the equipment should be required to withstand the 

effects of a number of operating basis earthquakes (OBEs) prior to the application of an 

SSE. Verify that the licensee has environmental qualification (EQ) data demonstrating 

that Class 1E ECS subject to a harsh environment can withstand the environmental 

conditions that would exist before, during, and following a design basis accident without 

loss of safety function for the time required to perform the safety function. The licensee 

should have a test report to demonstrate that safety-related isolation devices (e.g., 

battery chargers, regulating transformers, isolation fuses, etc.) are qualified for the 

specific application and that their rated over voltage and over current conditions meet or 

exceed assumptions used in design basis analyses. The installation records should 

indicate that the proper ECS for the particular environment were installed, and they 

should identify any discrepancies. 

n. The corrective actions undertaken for problems identified during the installations 

are effective. 

Guidance. The inspector should select 1 - 2 problems that are more significant than a 

missing screw or an improperly labeled component. The effectiveness of any corrective 

actions is determined by whether the problems are recurring or not. The licensee should 

determine the root causes of the problems, and the corrective actions should address 

the root causes, not the problems themselves. When the corrective actions are not 

effective, the inspector informs both the licensee and NRC management. The 

installation records should indicate what corrective actions were required for problems 

encountered during the installation of the ECS. 

o. The records of the in-process activities are in accordance with licensee procedures 

and NRC regulations. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 15 65001.08

Guidance. The records should be all the installation records including those suggested 

in the guidance for the proceeding steps of the in-process work activities. 

02.03 Completed Work. As appropriate, observe, inspect, and evaluate the completed 

installation of electrical components and associated items selected in Section 02 above. 

Determine whether: 

a. The activities, reviewed in the following sub-steps, should be controlled, inspected, 

and accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the procedures reviewed 

in IP 65001, Step 02.02. 

b. Components are installed in accordance with design, construction specifications, 

and work procedures; components are at the correct location, configuration, and 

orientation. 

Guidance. For the inspection sample, the inspector can check if the installations agree 

with the referenced design documents. The installation records should indicate any 

discrepancies. 

c. Components conform to type specified; e.g. function, range, qualification, material. 

Guidance. The ECS should be exactly the ones specified by the construction drawings 

and specifications. This is a follow up to the inspection performed during the in-process 

installation, and the IC&S usually will be the same unless changed out due to a design 

or field change. The installation records should indicate any ECS replaced and specify 

the reasons. 

d. Equipment and item identifications have been maintained. 

Guidance. The identification of an ECS should be in agreement with the construction 

drawings and specifications and should be appropriate for its location. The same 

identification should be on the ECS, installation records, calibration records, and 

inspection records. Panels should be uniquely identified. For a variety of reasons, the 

identification of ECS may have been disturbed. This is a final verification that the 

identification is still correct, and the installation records should indicate that and identify 

any changes. 

e. ECS are protected from hostile environments, such as high-pressure pipe, rotating 

equipment, and non-seismically supported equipment. 

Guidance. This confirms that ECS are not installed in hazardous locations or 

environments which could damage them. All ECS should be designed for the 

environment and the location at which they are installed. The installation records should 

indicate any design changes required in order to achieve the desired protection. 

f. Electrical components, such as conduit, tray, motors, and power distribution 

centers maintain specified physical and electrical separation and independence 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 16 65001.08

between redundant components. 

Guidance. 10 CFR 50.55a(h) requires protection and safety systems to meet the 

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard 603-1991 for combined 

operating license (COL) applications after May 13, 1999. This is achieved by 

maintaining physical separation and electrical independence between the ECS utilized in 

the trains of those systems. Identical ECS, but not the same ECS, are allowed to be 

used in the redundant trains of a safety system if the vendor has analyzed for all 

potential common-mode failures. Electrical independence also includes being powered 

by the right power source. The means by which the desired separation is achieved 

should not be compromised by the installation. The installation records should indicate 

any deviation between the design basis and the as-built installation. 

g. Adequate actions or provisions have been taken and/or maintained (as needed) to 

ensure that the validation of the environmental qualification of components is 

maintained. 

Guidance. This check determines if changes, such as the location of ECS, caused the 

EQ of that ECS to be affected. The inspector should review a sample of the 

environmental qualification data packages for different equipment and verify the 

methods used for demonstrating qualification of the electrical equipment. The inspector 

should review the EQ test report and ensure that it states positively that the equipment is 

qualified for its application and meets its specified performance requirements ( voltage, 

current, frequency, accuracy, etc.) when subjected to the conditions predicted to be 

present and when it must perform its safety function, up to the end of its qualified life. 

The inspector should also review the interface requirements to maintain qualification 

(i.e., conduit seals, drip loops, T-drains, etc.). The inspector should also verify that the 

equipment has been installed in a configuration that is similar to the tested configuration. 

 The inspector should review drawings and test reports showing the configuration in 

which the electrical equipment was tested and should perform field inspections as 

needed to verify that the as-built configuration is similar to the as-tested configuration 

shown on drawings contained in the EQ data packages. The installation records should 

indicate any deviations from the design basis that could possibly invalidate the EQ of the 

affected ECS. 

h. Seismic requirements are met for the selected ECS. 

Guidance. This is especially important for ECS that are sensitive to movement and 

vibration, such as, digital relays and panels. ECS with seismic requirements should be 

exactly located and orientated per the construction drawings. The methods typically 

used for seismic qualification of equipment are grouped into three general categories: 

(1) predict the equipment performance by analysis, (2) test the equipment under 

simulated seismic conditions, and (3) qualify by combined tests and analysis. Any of the 

above methods may be adequate to verify the ability of the equipment to meet the 

seismic qualification requirements. The inspector should review installation detail 

drawings, test reports, and conduct field inspections to ensure that the as-built Class 1E 

equipment is acceptable based on mounting configuration and applicable floor response 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 17 65001.08

spectra. 

i. Compare the actual installations with the drawings, specifications, and other 

installation documents. 

Determine whether the ECS and associated items are correctly installed in 

accordance with approved drawings, construction documentation, and changes, 

such as design and field changes. As this inspection requirement is to verify "as 

built" systems, a new sample should be selected if it is found that extensive rework 

is in progress for the ECS of the original sample. All design changes should be 

properly verified and approved in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 

Criterion III. For all design changes, the inspector should determine if the licensee 

followed procedures and whether the changes met their intended purpose. Field 

changes that impact the as-built installation should be adequately controlled and 

available for future evaluation. 

j. Status of completion, maintenance, and readiness for construction and operational 

testing is indicated on equipment or otherwise documented. 

Guidance. The installation records should indicate the justification for proceeding to 

construction and operational testing, and they should state if any maintenance is 

required. 

k. The records of the completed work activities should be in accordance with licensee 

procedures and NRC regulations. 

Guidance. The records should be all the installation records, including those suggested 

in the guidance for the proceeding steps, of the completed work activities. 

02.04 Inspection of Containment Electrical Penetration Assemblies (EPAs). Select a 

minimum of six EPAs for review. Determine through field observations and record review 

that these meet field installation requirements and design specifications. 

Guidance. Primary containment electrical penetrations require special attention because a 

fault inside containment could result in a penetration seal failure and breach of the 

containment. The inspector should review calculations prepared for determining the rated 

continuous current (ac or dc); rated short time overload current and its duration; and rated 

short circuit current and its duration available at the EPAs. The inspector should review 

both the licensee=s design specifications prepared for procurement of containment EPAs 

and the original equipment manufacturer design documents and verify that the equipment 

is adequately rated for its application based on the results of the circuit analyses. 

Review the licensee=s analysis of the as-built containment EPAs to identify those 

penetration circuits that require redundant protection devices. 

Verify that the maximum available continuous and short-time overload currents do not 

exceed the continuous and the short-time overload ratings, respectively, of the containment 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 18 65001.08

EPA. In addition, verify that the circuits have redundant protection devices in series and 

that the redundant current protection devices will trip or open prior to the EPA=s rated short 

circuit thermal capacity being exceeded. 

The inspector should verify that the rated short circuit current for DC circuits is based on 

having a constant DC voltage value applied unless otherwise specified. The inspector 

should verify that electrical penetrations, which could fail in a manner to breach 

containment, are provided with dual primary protection operating separate interrupting 

devices, or primary and backup protection operating separate interrupting devices. The 

inspector should review the analysis for the as built containment penetration assemblies 

and verify that the time current curves of the dual primary protection, or the primary and 

backup protection, coordinate with the time current capability curve of the electrical 

penetration they are protecting. 

02.05 Inspection of Station Grounding and Surge Protection. To verify that the electrical 

grounding system (EGS) is configured in accordance with design drawings and 

specifications, the inspector should confirm the following, as applicable. 

a. Verify a single point insulated conductor connection exists between the 

instrument/computer grounding system and the station grounding grid. 

b. Verify the required connections exist between the electrical system grounding 

system and the station grounding grid. 

c. Verify the required connections exist between the equipment grounding system and 

the station grounding grid. 

d. Verify the required connections exist between the lightning protection system 

connection and the station grounding grid. 

Guidance. The plant EGS functions as a system that protects plant personnel from 

dangerous electrical potentials such as transferred, step, and touch potentials during 

both normal operating and maximum ground fault conditions, provides connection to 

ground for power equipment neutrals, facilitates relaying in clearing ground faults, 

dissipates static charges and/or induced current from current carrying lines that need to 

be worked on, and dissipates lightning charges. 

The EGS provides connections to the station grounding grid for the following: (1) 

instrument/computer grounding system; (2) electrical system grounds from the neutral 

points of the main generator, main step-up transformers, auxiliary transformers, load 

center transformers, and onsite standby diesel generators; (3) equipment grounds for 

equipment enclosures, metal structures, metallic tanks, ground bus of switchgear 

assemblies, load centers, motor control centers, control cabinets, building structural 

steel, and piping and electrical raceways, and (4) lightning arresters provided for 

lightning protection for exposed structures and buildings housing safety-related and fire 

protection equipment. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 19 65001.08

The licensee should prepare station grounding grid drawings showing the station 

grounding mat, ground cable, and taps or connections to each grounding sub-system as 

well as the lightning protection sub-system that is grounded to the station grounding grid. 

 The inspector should perform field inspections using the station grounding grid drawings 

to verify (on a sampled basis), that the number and type of connections used in the 

installation of the grounding sub-systems for the above equipment is consistent with 

design requirements delineated in approved design documents. The types of 

connections used in the installation of the grounding sub-systems should be verified by 

reviewing work documents for different types of grounding conductor connection 

hardware (installed using different installation techniques). The inspector should verify 

that the licensee=s work controls, used for installing the different types of grounding 

conductor connection hardware, were correctly implemented in accordance with the 

approved QA requirements. 

02.06 Testing and Verification. Select a sufficient number of testing activities, including 

all targeted ITAAC, to assure that testing is conducted in accordance with established 

procedures and test acceptance criteria have been met. Besides the ITAAC related testing 

criteria, the inspectors should verify that the following attributes have been met by the 

licensee=s test program: 

Guidance. By direct observation of testing activities or review of test records, confirm that 

ITAAC related testing activities are being conducted in accordance with established 

procedures and test acceptance criteria have been met. The inspector should determine 

what specific acceptance criteria are established and select those for observation that are 

best confirmed through direct observation. Others should be confirmed through 

record/data review, although direct observation is the preferred method of inspection for 

most. 

The inspections of testing should be coordinated with IP 65001.C, Construction Testing; IP 

65001.D, Operational Testing; and MC 2504 guidance, as applicable. Sample size will be 

dependant on guidance from these procedures and the targeted ITAAC. 

a. The test activities, reviewed in the following sub-steps, should be controlled, 

inspected, and accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the 

procedures reviewed in IP 65001, Step 02.02. 

b. The latest revision of applicable test procedures and/or specifications is available 

at the work location and used by personnel performing the testing. 

Guidance. The inspector should periodically check that the latest test procedure is being 

used during the test. The inspector should review the specified calibration requirements 

and procedures before observing these activities. The inspector should determine 

whether any special calibration requirements are met. All testing should be in 

accordance with licensee commitments and manufacturer=s recommendations. 

c. Properly identified, traceable, and calibrated measuring and test equipment are 

used. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 20 65001.08

Guidance. If calibration activities are in progress, determine whether the most recently 

approved calibration information is being used, and whether there is compliance with the 

required procedures. The inspector should assure himself (by selective sampling) that 

current data is used for checking and calibrating ECS, and that these changes are within 

the limits of the ECS involved. 

d. Equipment or components are able to obtain the degree of accuracy and tolerance 

specified or otherwise meet specified requirements. 

Guidance. As these inspection requirements cannot be done until testing and 

calibration activities are in progress, inspection in this area should be scheduled 

accordingly. 

e. Required testing results are recorded during the activity; not after the testing has 

been completed. (Where test results are immediately available to the inspector, 

note whether they are within specified limits.) 

Guidance. Final calibration and trip settings should be done during the final testing of 

the system or component. 

f. Components that have been tested are adequately identified as to their status; that 

is, specified requirements have been met or deficiencies noted. 

Guidance. It is necessary to know all the ECS that have been tested to avoid needless 

duplication, but to also know the ECS that have not been tested so that they can be 

scheduled for testing. 

g. Personnel performing the testing are properly qualified. 

Guidance. "Qualified test personnel" means those employees who have achieved 

suitable proficiency to do their assigned tasks by appropriate training and/or previous 

experience and who understand the test procedures, drawings, and specifications 

necessary for the testing to be conducted. 

h. Test personnel adhere to any special handling or removal requirements. 

Guidance. Test and calibration personnel should be knowledgeable in the special care 

and handling that should be exercised when readying sensitive ECS for testing. The 

inspector should be especially mindful of those injudicious actions that could cause the 

ECS to operate in a manner uncharacteristic to their test specifications or design basis. 

i. Test discrepancies or unexpected events are properly identified for resolution. 

Guidance. Any test discrepancies or unexpected events should be taken into account 

as to the impact on the test results. This is also necessary when future tests are run so 

that the previous test results can be properly assessed. 
 

Issue Date: 08/19/08 21 65001.08

j. Test procedure changes are reviewed and approved by the appropriate 

organizations (e.g., design engineering). 

Guidance. This is necessary so that during the evaluation of test results, an explanation 

can be made as to why the test results deviated from what was expected. 

65001.08.03 RESOURCE ESTIMATE 

The average resource expenditure for this inspection procedure is estimated to be 1240 

direct inspection hours per Unit.
