31310018D0001 P00001 Clause H.29 is being revised as follows:
- 1. The first sentence Paragraph A Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause H.1 is replaced with In accordance with the provisions of Clause H.3.
- 2. Paragraph C deleting the last sentence However, contracts related to nuclear reactor design, construction, operation, and inspection associated with the generation of commercial electrical power, although included in the above definition of nuclear fuel cycle, are not required to be submitted for review. As a result of these changes, Clause H.29 is being deleted and replaced in its entirety.
H.29 OTHER CONTRACT-PRIOR NOTIFICATION A. SwRI Proposed Contracts Related to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle In accordance with the provisions of Clause H.3, the contractor shall afford NRC 30 days to review any contemplated new contracts related to the nuclear fuel cycle for work in the United States to assure that (a) no conflict of interest exists with NRC's project activities including the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA), as amended, and (b), for the Center, proper balance and adequate resources will continue to be available for the NRC waste management program.
Should NRC object to an anticipated contract, the contractor is prohibited from entering into the contract.
B. SwRI DOE Funded Work
- 1. Conflict of Interest Review SwRI is prohibited from performing DOE-funded work that is related to the NWPA. Furthermore, the contractor shall request a COI review on work that meets either of the following criteria:
(a) The proposed DOE-funded work may be related to the NWPA or the nuclear fuel cycle, or (b) The proposed DOE-funded work may have direct and/or likely application to the NWPA program.
SwRI is required to notify NRC of any DOE-funded work related to the nuclear fuel cycle for which SwRI has been notified of contract award that would cause the numerical goal for such work established in the current version of SwRI Administrative Practice (AP)-2 to be exceeded.
The notification shall include the steps SwRI plans to take to reduce total net revenue from DOE-funded work related to the nuclear fuel cycle to below the numerical goal established in AP-2.

- 2. Goal for SwRl's DOE-funded Work The contractor is required to comply with NRC approved SwRI Administrative Practice AP-2 entitled "Administrative Practice for Control of Conflict of interest Related to the Quantity of Department of Energy Funded Work related to the nuclear fuel cycle with respect to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Nuclear Waste Policy Act Program. SwRl's failure to meet the numerical goal as established in SwRI Administrative Practice AP-2 shall not, by itself, constitute default under this contract.
- 3. Reporting Requirements for SwRl's Non-NWPA Related DOE Work SwRI shall submit a complete list or table of all active contracts involving DOE funding related to the nuclear fuel cycle twice a year (one report covering SwRI fiscal periods 1-6 and another report covering SwRI fiscal periods 7-13) including client, title of work, estimated dollar amount, and period of performance. All revenue calculations and comparisons with the numerical goal will be based on SwRI DOE actual net revenue, associated with work related to the nuclear fuel cycle, as described in SwRI Administrative Practice AP-2. The report shall also include SwRI total DOE actual gross revenue, associated with work related to the nuclear fuel cycle for the period covered by the report for information purposes only. These reports shall be provided to NRC within 6 weeks after the end of the last period covered by the report.
C. Definition of the term "nuclear fuel cycle" As used in this clause, the term "nuclear fuel cycle" is defined as follows: The series of steps involved in fabricating and supplying fuel for commercial nuclear reactor. The commercial nuclear fuel cycle includes the mining, milling, and isotopic enrichment of nuclear materials. It includes the fabrication of fuel elements from these materials, and their use in a reactor; the chemical reprocessing to recover the fissionable material remaining in the spent fuel, and the storage and disposal of the nuclear material and its radioactive constituents, refabrication of recycled and/or reprocessed nuclear materials into new fuel elements; and waste disposal of the resulting radiologically contaminated waste products from these processes. At-reactor independent spent fuel storage installations are considered to be part of the nuclear fuel cycle for purposes of clause H.29.
D. The contractor shall make its contracts related to the nuclear fuel cycle available for inspection if requested by NRC for conflict of interest purposes.
All other terms and conditions of the contract remain the same.
