SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK FOR ERI UNRESTRICTED EWC TASK ORDER 04 NRC Requisition Office: Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Fee Recoverable: Yes TAC Numbers: MF4668

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is titled, "Technical Assistance in Support of Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS)

Unit Nos. I, 2 and 3; Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270 & 50-287 License Amendment Request (LAR) to Reduce Allowed Maximum Rated Thermal Power When High Pressure Injection (HPI) Equipment Is Inoperable License Amendment Request No. 2013-03 (MF4668)."

The objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise to assist the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in determining the technical adequacy of the license amendment request (LAR) submitted by Duke Energy Carolinas (Duke Energy) to revise TS 3.5.2 by reducing the allowed maximum rated thermal power (RTP) at which the unit can operate when select HPI System equipment is inoperable. This project falls under Section C.3.2, "Licensing Support," of the base contract.

The Statement of Work (SOW) for this Task Order falls within the unrestricted part of NRC IDIQ Enterprise-Wide Contract entitled Technical Assistance in Support of Agency Environmental and Reactor Programs, paragraph 3.2, Licensing Support.

2. BACKGROUND In accordance with the provisions of Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Duke Energy has submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for ONS, Units 1, 2, and 3. The proposed amendment would revise TS 3.5.2 by reducing the allowed maximum rated thermal power (RTP) at which the unit can operate when select HPI System equipment is inoperable. These revisions were deemed necessary to correct a non-conservative Technical Specification. In accordance with the guidance of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Administrative Letter 98-10, this condition is captured in the ONS Corrective Action Program and proper administrative controls have been established until the TS is revised. Oconee Nuclear Station requests approval of this proposed amendment by May 22, 2015.

3. SCOPE OF WORK The contractor must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW).

The contractor must perform a review, confirmatory analysis as necessary, determined by the COR, and evaluation of the technical and regulatory basis for the LAR. As an output of this task order, the contractor must provide to the NRC the Technical Evaluation Report (TER) that will be used as input for the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER), that documents the NRC's technical, legal, and safety basis for approving the license amendment request.
