31310018D0002 31310018F0093 P00002 SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGES The following changes are hereby made to the task order:

B.2 CONSIDERATION AND OBLIGATION TASK ORDERS (AUG 2011) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

(a) The total ceiling of this contract for the products/services under this contract is $266,959 (Cost of and Fixed-Fee of ).

(b) This order is subject to the minimum and maximum ordering requirements set forth in the contract.

(c) The amount presently obligated with respect to this order is $266,959 of which represents costs and represents fixed-fee. The obligated amount shall, at no time, exceed the order ceiling as specified in paragraph (a) above. When and if the amount(s) paid and payable to the Contractor hereunder shall equal the obligated amount, the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance of the work unless and until the Contracting Officer shall increase the amount obligated with respect to this order, in accordance with FAR Part 43 -

Modifications. Any work undertaken by the Contractor in excess of the obligated amount specified above is done so at the Contractor's sole risk and may not be reimbursed by the Government.

(d) The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of FAR 52.232 Limitation of Funds, for incrementally-funded delivery orders or task orders.

(e) In accordance with FAR 52.216 Fixed Fee, it is the policy of the NRC to withhold payment of fee after payment of 85 percent of the fee has been paid in order to protect the Governments interest. The amount of fixed-fee withheld from the contractor will not exceed 15 percent of the total fee or $100,000, whichever is less. Accordingly, the maximum amount of fixed-fee that may be held in reserve is 3

The experimental research projects support NRC's knowledge and understanding of severe accidents, and they support NRC's models with experimental data. AAB provides consultation to other NRC offices regarding safety or licensing decisions, development of guidance, or other regulatory needs, and partners with USDOE, universities, laboratories, and other national and international research centers. Also manages the Agency long-term research program and research for advanced reactor designs.

To accomplish regulatory research tasks, AAB use various computer codes including MELCOR Consequence Analyses Code System (MACCS). MACCS suite of computer codes is used to evaluate the impacts of atmospheric releases of radioactive aerosols and vapors on human health and the environment. The COMIDA2 code is a preprocessor code to MACCS that is used to estimate dose-to-source ratios from ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs. The output file produced by COMIDA2 is used by the MACCS code to project whether and for how long agricultural products would be interdicted, and to estimate collective radiological doses for areas that are not subject to interdiction.

3. OBJECTIVE The recommended values for use with the COMIDA code have not been systematically reviewed since the publication of the code manual (NUREG/CR-6613 Volume 2, Chanin and Young 1998). Although many of the recommendations in Volume 2 of NUREG/CR-6613 may still represent the most current information, it is prudent to review current state of practice in radioecological modeling to determine whether updates to recommended parameter values are warranted. The objective of this task order is to obtain technical assistance with identifying appropriate updates, if needed, to COMIDA2 parameters for MACCS as described in NUREG/CR-6613 Volume 2. This work supports cost-benefit work and parameter guidance work since it would primarily relate to SAMA/SAMDA or Regulatory Analysis work.

Revision 1 of this task order statement of work is due to the recognition about extra level of effort and time needed to complete the task order. In the execution of original task order, research was conducted to ascertain the number of parameters required review and update. It was determined that certain information was not readily available in public domain and a higher level of syntheses will be required to formulate parameter values. Also, documentation on how the parameter influence the results was also either missing or not readily available.

4. SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 - Kick-Off Meeting The Contractor shall participate in a kick-off meeting with the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) and other NRC technical staff to discuss the scope of work, expectations, project management, deliverables, and performance requirements of the task order. The Contractor shall prepare a written summary of the meeting that documents the meeting discussions and action items identified during the meeting.

31310018D0002 31310018F0093 P00002 Task 2 -Initial Assessment of Recommended Input Parameter Values for the COMIDA2 Food Chain Model The contractor shall perform the following tasks related to updating recommendations for selecting input parameters for use with the MACCS COMIDA2 model.

Subtask 2.1: Review recommended input parameters used to develop MACCS COMIDA2 files as documented in NUREG/CR-6613 Volume 2. Identify any recommended updates to these parameters. The contractor shall prepare a draft technical report that describes any recommended updates and the technical basis for the recommendations.

Subtask 2.2: Identify COMIDA2 input parameters in NUREG/CR-6613 Volume 2 likely to be site- or region-specific and provide recommendations on how a user could develop those parameters. The contractor shall identify sources of information that a user could consult to develop site- or region specific parameter values. The contractor shall prepare a draft technical report that documents the recommendations along with the basis for the recommendations.

Subtask 2.3: Identify important uncertain or site-specific input parameters by performing quantitative sensitivity analyses using the MACCS code to demonstrate the sensitivity of population dose and economic costs to recommended changes in COMIDA2 input parameters per subtask 2.1 above. The contractor shall prepare a draft technical report that identifies the important uncertain or site-specific input parameters and characterizes the sensitivity of MACCS code outputs to changes in these inputs Task 3 -Interim Documentation The Contractor shall document the work performed under Task 2 in a single consolidated draft final technical report. A draft of the final technical report shall be provided in advance of the final report to allow for NRC review and comment. The final report prepared under Task 4 shall incorporate NRC comments, and document the additional work performed as part of this modified task order.

Task 4 - Final Assessment of Recommended Input Parameter Values for the COMIDA2 Food Chain Model Following information was collected and categorized about the parameters while conducting research related to subtask 2.1 and 2.2 as described above:
