Article II - Scope.of Work In accordance with the attached Statement of Work, the ef fort is divided into three phases.
Phase one involves NRC and the Army jointly finalizing a standard for testing and certifying transparent armor material for resistance to high-powered weapons.
The second and third phases shall consist of instrumented tests of various samples of transparent armor materials, an analysis of the effort, and the submittal of a final report.. A description of the effort is contained in the attached Statement of Work.
Article III - Estimate of Cost The estimated cost of the effort described in the attached Statement of Work is $75,000.00.'

9' STATEMENT OF WORK TRA!!SPARENT AP.MOR Ti. STING l
1.0 Backoround hRC. is currently implementing mare stringent requirements for the s: ~< guards of nuclear facilities under a revision to 10 CFR Part 73.
This Upgrade Rule specifically requires (under 73.46 and 73.55) that windows to reactor control rooms, access control points to protected areas, and ala-m stations be bullet resisting.
The definition of "hullet resisting" is contained in Part 73.2 a.id more clearly defined in the Fixed Site Physical Security Upgrade Rule Guidance Compendium.
Licensees are now required to provide protection through transparent armor that meets the requirements of Underwriters _ laboratories (UL) Standard Test 752 fo-Class IV weapons and ammunition specifications.
(Class IV means high-powered weapons)
This specification is:
Weapon 30-06 Military Rifle Barrel Length 24 inches Ammuni tion 220 grain soft point 2830 Muzzle Energy in Foot Pounds 2410 Muzzle Velocity.in Feet Per Second The definition of the " threat" is contained in Part 73 and specifically states
"* *
- several persons * *
- well trained (including military training and skills) * *
- and automatic weapons having long range accuracy". This definition implies that an attack on nuclear facility might involve military high-powered automatic rifles using military standard ammunition.
The UL Standard 752 for Class IV weapons does not address the range of calibers of military high-powered rifles and ammunition nor does it address the multi-hit capability of automatic To be consistent with the postulated threat NRC requires a more up to weapons.
date and realistic standard for the design, test, and evaluation of transparent
_annor concepts and material for indoor and outdoor use.
The NRC will support the development of a standard for transparent armor design and testing to assure that licensees are provided adequate and effective guidance to meet current safeguards upgrades and to further assure that licensees meet the intent of Part 73 by providing assurance that a vital component of the safeguards system is adequately prot -ted.
2.0 Work Required This effort will proceed in three overlapping phaser.
The first phase will involve NRC and the performing organization jointl, tinalizing a proposed new standard for testing and cer:ifytr.g transparent er nor u.atc-ial.
The second and final phases will consist of instrumented tests of various samples of transparent armor mater ials to protect against high powered weapons, an analysis of the effort, and, the submittal of a final report.

FJ w Proposhd Standard t
-The performing organization and fiRC Project fianager shall jointly develop a'new standard addressing transparent armor materials. This effort shall. involve finalizing a proposea new standard for use in Task 2 to include establishing specific test procedures, required instrumentation for validation and documentation, and ballistic specifications.
The L
' proposed standard shall be furnished by the f4RC Project lianager.
Task 2.
Testing Sub-Task 2a.
The performing organization shall purchase 2 parels each (18" x i8" minimum size) of 10 different types of transparent armor which the vendor specifies to meet the requirements of the present UL standard.
(The selectior, of the various types of transparent armor and manufacturer will be done jointly by the fiRC Project Manager and the contractor.)
Sub-Task 2b.
The performing organization shall purchase 3 panels each T18" x 18" minimum size) of 10 different types of transparent armor designed to meet the proposed new standards.
(The selection of the various types of transparent armor and manufacturer shall be done jointly by the fiRC Project f4anager and the contractor.)
Sub-Task 2c.
The performing organization shall test two panels as described in their abbreviated test plan of each sample of the various types of transperent armor purchased under Sub-Task 2a in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories Standard 752, Class IV Weapons. This effort is designed to test the performance capability specified by the appropriate sendor for his product and to validate that these materials do meet the requirements of the present UL Standard.
Sub-Task id.
The performing organization shall test two panels of each sample purchased in Sub-Task 2b in accordance with a new proposed standard designed jointly by the f4RC and the performing organization and their abbreviated test plan.
This effort is designed to test the samples against a more realistic threat and to make a comparative study between the performance capability against the UL Standard and the tiew Proposed Standard.
Tiiis effort shall provide guidance to the licensees and fiRC l
staff in future safeguards systems design.
-.. _ _..~ ~ ~ Sub-Task-2e; The~ performing organization shall test one panel of each sample purchased in Sub-Task 2b in accordance with the flew Proposci Standard, but using the.223 military ball round as described in their abbreviated tes t plan. This effort is designed to test the performance capability of the samples against another possible threat.
Task 3.
Validation of flew Standard The performing organization shall compile all the data acquired in the testing period, make an analysis of the test, illustratively document the tests and results, and submit a final report.
The final report will be used to either refute or validate the proposed new standard for future safeguards use.
3.0 Task Reports Within six weeks after the effective date of this agreement the performing organization shall mett with the fiRC Project fianager and finalize the proposed

i 7-
., standard and then submit an initial report outlining a detailed test plan.
The test plan shall include the proposed standard, approach to the test, types of equipment to be used, numbers and types of samples to be tested, and a progression schedule for-the entire effort.
3.1 Final Report A; final report shall be submitted by the performing organization within one year of the effective date of this agreement. This report shall document the work performed (to include pictorial and illustrative do umentation) in accordance with Tasks 1 and 2 and shall contain_ a detailed discussion and analysis of the work performed, problems encountered, the final standard, and any recommendations concerning the final standard and its development and use.
The final report shall be submitted as indicated:
