NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 52–025 and 52–026; NRC– 

2008–0252] 

Southern Nuclear Operating Company, 

Inc.; Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, 

Units 3 and 4, Class 1E MotorOperated Valve Terminal Voltage 

Testing 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Exemption and combined 

license amendment; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is granting an 

exemption to allow a departure from the 

certification information of Tier 1 of the 

generic AP1000 design control 

document (DCD) and is issuing License 

Amendment Nos. 121 and 120 to 

Combined Licenses (COL), NPF–91 and 

NPF–92, respectively. The COLs were 

issued to Southern Nuclear Operating 

Company, Inc., and Georgia Power 

Company, Oglethorpe Power 

Corporation, MEAG Power SPVM, LLC, 

MEAG Power SPVJ, LLC, MEAG Power 

SPVP, LLC, and the City of Dalton, 

Georgia (the licensee); for construction 

and operation of the Vogtle Electric 

Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 3 and 4, 

located in Burke County, Georgia. 

The granting of the exemption allows 

the changes to Tier 1 information that is 

requested in the amendment. Because 

the acceptability of the exemption was 

determined in part by the acceptability 

of the amendment, the exemption and 

amendment are being issued 

concurrently. 

DATES: The exemption and amendment 

were issued on April 18, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRC is granting exemptions from 

paragraph B of section III, ‘‘Scope and 

Contents,’’ of appendix D, ‘‘Design 

Certification Rule for the AP1000,’’ to 

part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) and issuing 

License Amendment Nos. 121 and 120 

to COLs, NPF–91 and NPF–92, 

respectively, to the licensee. The 

exemptions are required by paragraph 

A.4 of section VIII, ‘‘Processes for 

Changes and Departures,’’ appendix D, 

to 10 CFR part 52 to allow the licensee 

to depart from Tier 1 information. With 

the requested amendment, the licensee 

proposes changes to the Updated Final 

Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and the 

COL Appendix C (and associated plantspecific Tier 1) Inspections, Tests, 

Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 

information to prescribe voltage tests in 

conjunction with an analysis, rather 

than voltage testing only. 

Part of the justification for granting 

the exemptions was provided by the 

review of the amendments. Because the 

exemption is necessary in order to issue 

the requested license amendment, the 

NRC granted the exemptions and issued 

the amendments concurrently, rather 

than in sequence. This included issuing 

a combined safety evaluation containing 

the NRC staff’s review of both the 

exemption request and the license 

amendment. The exemptions met all 

applicable regulatory criteria set forth in 

10 CFR 50.12, 10 CFR 52.7, and Section 

VIII.A.4 of appendix D to 10 CFR part 

52. The license amendments were found 

to be acceptable as well. The combined 

safety evaluation is available in ADAMS 

under Accession No. ML17320A798. 

Identical exemption documents 

(except for referenced unit numbers and 

license numbers) were issued to the 

licensee for VEGP Units 3 and 4 (COLs 

NPF–91 and NPF–92). The exemption 

documents for VEGP Units 3 and 4 can 

be found in ADAMS under Accession 

Nos. ML18072A054 and ML18072A055, 

respectively. The exemption is 

reproduced (with the exception of 

abbreviated titles and additional 

citations) in Section II of this document. 

The amendment documents for COLs 

NPF–91 and NPF–92 are available in 

ADAMS under Accession Nos. 

ML18072A056 and ML18072A058, 

respectively. A summary of the 

amendment documents is provided in 

Section III of this document. 

II. Exemption 

Reproduced below is the exemption 

document issued to VEGP, Units 3 and 

Unit 4. It makes reference to the 

combined safety evaluation that 

provides the reasoning for the findings 

made by the NRC (and listed under Item 

1) in order to grant the exemption: 

1. In a letter dated August 30, 2017, 

and supplemented by letter dated 

January 12, 2018, the licensee requested 

from the Commission an exemption 

from the provisions of 10 CFR part 52, 

appendix D, section III.B, as part of 

license amendment request (LAR) 17– 

018, ‘‘Class 1E Motor-Operated Valve 

Terminal Voltage Testing.’’ 

For the reasons set forth in Section 

3.1, ‘‘Evaluation of Exemption,’’ of the 

NRC staff’s safety evaluation, which can 

be found in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML17320A798, the Commission 

finds that:
