DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

1.0 BACKGROUND

Regulatory Context:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) relies on SCALE as a robust, state-of-the-art nuclear analysis computer code system that allows for independent review of licensee submittals and accurate investigations of reactor and fuel phenomena important to nuclear safety.

The Polaris lattice physics computer codes in SCALE affects all licensing evaluations that are being performed at the NRC that rely on independent light water reactor (LWR) core analysis confirmatory calculations with PARCS. Accurate confirmatory analysis core simulations are required for LWR user needs, such as MELLLA+, and developing radionuclide data for analyses with MELCOR and MACCS2.

Technical Context:

The purpose of this task is to extend the lattice physics code assessment to assess the accuracy of Polaris/PARCS core modeling calculations. Full-core calculations will be performed with SCALE/GENPMAXS/PARCS and CE Monte Carlo reference models to assess the accuracy of predictions of core-level quantities of interest through code-to-code comparisons and comparisons to plant data. Data sets to consider include Watts Bar Unit 1, BEAVRS, Cofrentes, Tihange, and potentially Forsmark data or IRSN EDF data.

This work will assess the accuracy of coupled SCALE/PARCS analysis to understand bias and trends at the core level. The assessment should provide insight to prioritize code development efforts to minimize biases and improve accuracy 2.0 OBJECTIVE The purpose of this project will be to assess the prediction accuracy of full core neutronics simulations with SCALE lattice physics codes and PARCS nodal code simulation.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK/TASKS The ORNL must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this Statement of Work (SOW).

Task 1. FC LWR Lattice-Physics and Simulator Analysis with U/Q The main task for this project will be to extend the recent SCALE lattice physics code assessment to assess the accuracy of Polaris/PARCS core modeling calculations. Full-core calculations should be performed with Polaris/PARCS with CE Monte Carlo reference models to assess the accuracy of predictions of core-level quantities of interest through code-to-code comparisons and comparisons to plant data. Data sets to consider will be prioritized by NRC staff, but may include the WBN1 Cycle 1 and 2 CASL benchmarks, the BEAVRS benchmark, the Cofrentes data for previous work on core validation, the publicly available Tihange benchmark, and potentially Forsmark data or IRSN EDF data. The comparison analysis should examine trends and biases in quantities of interest across the benchmark set to identify potential areas of improvement. Full-core uncertainty calculations with Sampler and Polaris/PARCS should be performed for selected benchmarks to quantify the uncertainty in key quantities of interest Expected Level of Effort: 1905 hours0.022 days <br />0.529 hours <br />0.00315 weeks <br />7.248525e-4 months <br /> Task 2. Technical Support Technical support and assistance in support of Task 1 of this task order and the operation of the SCALE system shall be provided to NRC staff identified by the NRC COR. For example assistance with technical issues as arisen from the above Task and may include interaction with ACRS, may be required. It is expected that some of the work required for this task may involve collaborations with other contractors/staff/etc as appropriate.

Expected Level of Effort: 235 hours0.00272 days <br />0.0653 hours <br />3.885582e-4 weeks <br />8.94175e-5 months <br /> 4.0 LIST OF DELIVERABLES Computer code development must conform NEURG/BR-0167 requirements for Software Quality Assurance.

Task Number Deliverable and Acceptance Criteria Deliverable Format Due Date 1

This report should be a NUREG/CR.

NUREG/CR should include detailed technical designs (LWRs), a detailed summary of assessments and why they were chosen, and all input decks in an easily understood Technical letter report in WORD and PDF.

SCALE input files that can be run on 12 months from project initiation

manner -from a the view point of posterity-that can be rerun on local machines.

independent systems 2

As appropriate a technical letter report (TLR) that includes details of the actions undertaken in the performance of the task, description of any new features, input decks, etc. It should be provided in both WORD and PDF format.

Technical letter report in WORD and PDF.

12 months from project initiation 5.0 ESTIMATED LABOR CATEGORIES, KEY PERSONNEL AND LEVELS OF EFFORT 5.1 Labor Categories, Requirements and Key Personnel. ORNL shall commit the appropriate number of qualified staff to the project. NRC reserves the right to approve the Project Manager and the individual personnel assigned to this task. The project manager and assigned staff shall be experienced with SCALE and in particular, code development with regard to lattice physics and core analysis, and the peculiarities that are inherent with the code system 5.2 Level-of-Effort (in hours). Estimate the number of hours required for each labor category, including base and option periods. This estimate is advisory only and not to be considered as the sole basis for development of a staffing plan.

Expected levels of effort for each task are found in the SOW description in Section 6.0 CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE REQUIREMENTS n/a 7.0 MEETINGS AND TRAVEL No travel is expected.

All travel requires written Government approval from the CO, unless otherwise delegated to the COR.

ORNL personnel will be authorized travel expenses consistent with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and the limitation of funds specified for the travel within this agreement/order.

Foreign travel for the [servicing agency or DOE Laboratory] personnel requires a 60-day lead time for NRC approval. For prior approval of foreign travel, the servicing agency must submit to the COR an NRC Form 445, Request for Approval of Official Foreign Travel. NRC Form 445 is available in the MD 11.7 Documents library and on the NRC Web site at:

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/. All foreign travel requires prior written approval from the NRC Executive Director for Operations (EDO).

8.0 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The ORNL is responsible for structuring the deliverables to current agency standards. ORNL must submit deliverables free of spelling and grammatical errors and shall conform to requirements stated in this section.

8.1 Monthly Letter Status Report (MLSR)

ORNL must provide a Monthly Letter Status Report which consists of a technical progress report and financial status report. This report will be used by the sponsoring agency to assess the adequacy of the resources utilized by the servicing agency to accomplish the work contained in this SOW and to provide status of the servicing agency progress in achieving tasks and producing deliverables. The report shall include agreement/order summary information, work completed during the specified period, milestone schedule information, problem identification and resolution, travel plans, and staff hour summary. Copies must be sent to the COR and AMD at ContractsPOT.Resource@nrc.gov.

If a project is a task ordering agreement, a separate MLSR must be submitted for each task order with a summary project MLSR, even if no work has been performed during a reporting period. Once NRC has determined that all work on a task order is completed and that final costs are acceptable, a task order may be omitted from the MLSR.

At a minimum, state that a final report summarizing the work performed and the results and conclusions derived shall be submitted to the COR. Indicate the number of report copies required, when the reports are due (i.e., days after agreement/order award or a given calendar date), and any content and format requirements.

The MLSR must include the following: agreement number; task order number, if applicable; job code number; title of the project; project period of performance; task order period of performance, if applicable; CORs name, telephone number, and e-mail address; full name and address of the performing organization; principal investigator's name, telephone number, and e-mail address; and reporting period. At a minimum, the MLSR must include the information discussed in the NRCs [preferred] MSLR template.
