1.0 BACKGROUND

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC) has used probabilistic dose assessment codes to fulfil the agencys need for conducting screening as well as site-specific and risk-informed radiological impact analysis for demonstrating compliance with the License Termination Rule, 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. The codes include, but not limited to, RESRAD, RESRAD-OFFSITE and RESRAD BUILD, also known as the RESRAD Family of Codes.

RESRAD and RESRAD-OFFSITE compute the release of radionuclides from a source or contaminated zone. Once released from the contaminated zone, they simulate the transport of contaminants through ground and surface water to various on- or off-site locations. RESRAD-BUILD is used to estimate doses resulting from exposure to residual radioactivity in buildings.

While RESRAD-OFFSITE 3.1 offers several new source release models not available in previous versions of the code, additional source release functions would increase the utility of the code in simulating releases from a variety of sources including those from low-level waste

disposal facilities. In addition, all codes could use updated values and distributions for their parameters.

2.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of the agreement is to continue to update and develop the RESRAD Family of Codes and associated documentation. This includes upgrading the solubility and diffusion limited source release models, and performing the associated quality assurance activities to RESRAD-OFFSITE. Another objective is to update the default parameter values and distributions in RESRAD, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD. Yet another objective is to re-examine the source release model to surface water and upgrade it to have realistic dose results for the surface water pathways. A final objective is to develop a RESRAD-OFFSITE test case using LLW source-term and compare with results using other commonly used platform code(s).

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW). This includes all phases of the RESRAD Family of Computer Code activities including development, maintenance, distribution and training.

4.0 SPECIFIC TASKS ANL must perform the following tasks:

Task 1: Update Default parameter values and distributions in RESRAD, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD ANL shall update default RESRAD, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD, parameter values and parameter distributions, as appropriate. The methodology for ranking parameters including their relevance in dose calculations and in the influence on dose variables is over 15 years old. In addition, because there are over 200 parameters values and 70 distributions for the RESRAD Family of Codes, ANL shall work with NRC to identify and prioritize what parameters and distributions should be updated.

Argonne is working with the Department of the Army to update ANL/EVS/TIM-14/4, Data Collection Handbook to Support Modelling Impacts of Radioactive Material in Soil and Building Structures. This handbook impacts the RESRAD family of codes parameter sets. Therefore, there is a need for multi-agency discussions to ensure the Data Collection Handbook, NUREG/CR-6692 and all associated guidance documents are aligned for future updates.

2

NRC staff will have opportunity to review the sensitivity analyses, parameter updates, and development of default parameter templates for use in RESRAD and RESRAD-BUILD and if needed, make adjustments to the default parameters. Development of default parameter templates will assist NRC staff and licensees with incorporating NUREG/CR-5512 dose modeling methodology (e.g., exposure scenarios and approved behavioral parameters developed for DandD) into RESRAD, as well as update other parameters based on the latest information available in the literature.

Task 1 deliverables include documented monthly discussions and a written high level plan. This plan will be used to upgrade the code, quality assurance (QA) and associated documentation in a comprehensive manner as described in Task 4.

Task 2: Upgrade Solubility and Diffusion Limited Source Release Models to RESRAD-OFFSITE ANL shall explicitly simulate a solubility limited release model in RESRAD-OFFSITE 3.1.

NUREG/CR-7127 was published in December 2013 and describes the New Source Term Model for the RESRAD-OFFSITE Code, Version 3. It documents a source release model for handling containerized waste material. In addition, NUREG/CR-7189, published in April 2015, describes several source release options including first order and equilibrium desorption release models.

RESRAD-OFFSITE 3.1 includes those source release options and has the added capability to delay the release and allow changes to release rates over time. Although the user can mimic a solubility limited release using the source release models and parameters currently available in RESRAD-OFFSITE 3.1, a solubility limited release is not explicitly simulated in the computer code.

Furthermore, diffusion-limited releases are not a source release option in RESRAD-OFFSITE computer but may be useful for modeling releases from engineered systems such as cementitious waste forms. Update to the source release models should include the option to specify solubility limits and changes to solubility limits over time. The capability to model diffusion-limited release should also be included in the code with options to specify related diffusion parameters. These source release options increase the utility of the code in modeling waste release for higher-risk sites where solubility controls and diffusion-limited releases may be applicable.

ANL shall also expand the complexity of models to include discretization of solubility changes over time or changes to RESRAD OFFSITE input parameters.

3

Task 2 deliverables include documented monthly discussions and a written high level plan. This plan will be used to upgrade the code, quality assurance (QA) and associated documentation in a comprehensive manner as described in Task 4.

Task 3: Re-examine the source release model to surface water and upgrade it to have realistic dose results for the surface water pathways ANL shall re-examine the source release model to surface water (e.g.; lake, pond, and river).

The goal would be to upgrade the model to have realistic dose results for the surface water pathways. As such, ANL will present a short, 2-3 page plan that outlines the options and path forward to the US NRC. This document shall be delivered for review and comment. After NRC approves of the plan, ANL shall commence with the preferred option of the US NRC.

As with Tasks 1, and 2, this plan may also include restructuring the NUREG or developing supplemental documents to document the re-examined source release model. Therefore, Task 3 deliverables include documented monthly discussions and a written high level plan. This plan will be used to upgrade the code, quality assurance (QA) and associated documentation in a comprehensive manner as described in Task 4.

Task 4: Computer Code Development, Quality Assurance Testing and Software Documentation ANL shall upgrade the RESRAD, RESRAD-OFFSITE and RESRAD BUILD computer codes based on the outcomes of Task 1, 2, 3 and 4. TANL shall also restructure the NUREGs and other guidance documents to align with these tasks and standard computer code documentation guidance that includes: 1) User Guide, 2) Technical Basis Documents and 3) Quality Assurance Documents. ANL shall develop a NUREG/CR report from Tasks 1-4.

Additionally it is anticipated that the computer codes and guidance documents will be reviewed and revised periodically to align with updates of the code and to incorporate lessons learned from NRC staff, licensee exercises, training sessions and international counterpart.

Task 5: Technical Support and Consultation ANL shall provide technical assistance to the COR including knowledge management activities, code modernizations plans (i.e. maintainability, readability, and extendibility), and assisting in the diagnosis of RESRAD Family of Codes coding errors and problem. ANL shall also provide technical support to the NRC staff in the form of technical presentations and tutorial sessions, conference calls, meetings, and written correspondence that will assist the NRC staff with code development and maintenance functions. All technical assistance requests will be coordinated through the COR.

4

Task 6: Technical Support and Consultation for RAMP ANL must provide technical assistance to support RAMP Coordination and Training of Advanced Modules at the fall 2017 meeting in October and moving RESRAD into RAMP.

It is the responsibility of the DOE Laboratory to ensure that these quality criteria are adequately addressed throughout the course of the research that is performed. The NRC COR will review all research products with these criteria in mind.

14.0 STANDARDS FOR CONTRACTORS WHO PREPARE NUREG-SERIES MANUSCRIPTS (TYPE N/A IF NOT APPLICABLE)

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) began to capture most of its official records electronically on January 1, 2000. The NRC will capture each final NUREG-series publication in its native application. Therefore, please submit your final manuscript that has been approved by your NRC Project Manager in both electronic and camera-ready copy.

The final manuscript shall be of archival quality and comply with the requirements of NRC Management Directive 3.7 NUREG-Series Publications. The document shall be technically edited consistent with NUREG-1379, Rev. 2 (May 2009) "NRC Editorial Style Guide." The goals of the "NRC Editorial Style Guide" are readability and consistency for all agency documents.

All format guidance, as specified in NUREG-0650, Preparing NUREG-Series Publications,"

Rev. 2 (January 1999), will remain the same with one exception. You will no longer be required to include the NUREG-series designator on the bottom of each page of the manuscript. The NRC will assign this designator when we send the camera-ready copy to the printer and will place the designator on the cover, title page, and spine. The designator for each report will no longer be assigned when the decision to prepare a publication is made. The NRC's Publishing Services Branch will inform the NRC Project Manager for the publication of the assigned designator when the final manuscript is sent to the printer.

For the electronic manuscript, the Contractor shall prepare the text in Microsoft Word, and use any of the following file types for charts, spreadsheets, and the like.
