NRC-HQ-25-14-E-0004 31310018F0159 SOW Rev 1 NRC Requisition Office: Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES)

1. PROJECT TITLE EVALUATION OF GRAPHITE AND ASME-RELATED CODE SUPPORT FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE REACTORS (HTRs)

The contractor shall provide the NRC with a technical report assessing various the aspects of graphite, e.g., source dependency on properties, relevant to HTRs. The contractor shall also evaluate selected portions of the ASME BPV Code Section III, Division 5, relevant Code Cases and supporting documentation. As an optional Task, the contractor shall assess the applicability of existing codes and standards to high temperature flaw evaluations, and if necessary perform preliminary tests to evaluate high temperature flaw criteria.

2. BACKGROUND On November 10th 2016 the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) addressing the DOE and NRC roles, responsibilities, and processes related to the implementation of the DOE Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) initiative. As part of the MOU the NRC pledged to provide the nuclear energy community with increased access to the technical [and] regulatory support necessary to move new or advanced nuclear reactor designs toward commercialization while ensuring the continued safe, reliable, and economic operation of the existing nuclear fleet.

The NRC staff recognize the absence of an NRC endorsed code of construction for nuclear reactors operating above 425°C (800°F) is a significant obstacle for new and advanced nuclear reactor designs. Review and approval of an elevated temperature code of construction during a licensing review of a new nuclear power plant would result in substantial costs and delays.

Therefore, the NRC is initiating efforts to endorse the ASME Code Section III, Division 5 elevated temperature code of construction consistent with the NRC-DOE MOU on the GAIN initiative. The NRC requests contractor support to assess portions of the ASME Code Section III, Division 5. This assessment will be used to inform NRC licensing decisions and regulatory guidance for the construction of non-light water high temperature reactors (HTRs).

The NRC anticipates HTRs to use nuclear grade graphite in many core components. The properties of graphite and the resistance of graphite to HTR environments will be heavily influenced by the source of the graphite and fabrication methods.

There is strong interest from both the NRC and the nuclear industry for assessing the adequacy of ASME Code Section XI for performing high temperature flaw evaluations, specific to the operating conditions of HTRs. While the methodologies in ASME Code Section XI are generally acceptable for traditional light water reactors, these methodologies may not be appropriate for HTR operating temperatures (> 425°C). The NRC requests contractor support to assess ASME Code Section XI methodologies for high temperature flaw evaluations. This assessment will be used to inform NRC licensing decisions and regulatory guidance regarding HTRs.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE(S)

The objective of this task order is to 1) Obtain an independent technical evaluation to assist the endorsement of ASME Code Section III, Division 5. The technical evaluation will primarily focus on portions of Division 5 relevant to graphite. 2) Provide the technical basis for the expected properties of nuclear grade graphite, their source dependency, and operating limits. 3) Evaluate high temperature flaw evaluation methodologies that may be used for advanced non-light water reactors.

4. STATEMENT OF WORK TASKS The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW).

Technical Directions The COR may issue Technical Directions (TDs) from time to time throughout the duration of the task order. These TDs must be within scope of the task order SOW and shall not constitute new assignments of work or changes of such a nature as to constitute a change to the task order cost or period of performance. Any modifications to the scope of work, cost or period of performance of this task order must be issued by the task order Contracting Officer (CO) and will be coordinated with the task order Contracting Officers Representative (COR). The COR may issue TDs for the purpose of making adjustments or clarifications to the timing and performance of the tasks and/or the delivery schedule of the documents within this task order.

In the event that the contractor believes that any of these TDs do have an impact in terms of changing the scope, cost or period of performance of the task order, the contractor shall immediately inform the task order CO and request appropriate guidance prior to taking action on the TD in question.

Coordination This task involves coordination of activities with the NRC staff on a regular basis. The contractor may, to the degree practical in terms of willingness of parties to voluntarily cooperate, consult with subject matter experts from national laboratories in developing inputs for the deliverables and/or providing a cursory review of the inputs, assumptions, analyses, and results.

Upon COR request, the contractor shall cooperate with subject matter experts from national laboratories to assist NRC-funded activities related to graphite.

The contractor must perform the following tasks:
