Contract No. NRC-02-83-030 Page 3 of 15 PART 111 CONTRACT SCHEDULE ARTICLE I - STATEMENT OF WORK BACKGROUND:
The proposed regulation on near-surface disposal of low-level radioactive wastes (10 CFR Part 61) requires that, with one exception, such disposal will be in the unsaturated zone above fluctuations of the water table.
Understanding of the movement of
. moisture in the unsaturated zone and the transport of solutes in wetting fronts to the saturated zone are essential in the evaluation of the suitability of a waste disposal site and design features, such as trench caps, at that site.
The Low-Level Waste Licensing Branch (WMLL) therefore has a need to develop an in-house modeling capability for unsaturated flow and t ransport.
In addition, WMLL has decided that this in-house modeling capability shoulf include pre-qualification of a group of computer codes which the s, ff believes adequately represent the movement of moisture and soi 'e in the unsaturated zone and which applicants may select from.
.ais project consists of developing adequate documentation and providing in-house training for some of the computer codes in the pre-qualified group.
The NRC is presently funding two studies directly related to this project.
evaluating available computer codes for unsaturated flow andBattelle transport modeling in order to identify those codes recommended for use by the NRC in site evaluations.
Survey (FIN N0. B6965) is evaluating available computer codes forThe Illinois State unsaturated flow to identify those codes most useful by the NRC in evaluation of the ability of trench caps to limit infiltration.
The computer codes selected by WMLL for this project include:
UNSAT 2 (Neuman)
US 2D (Lappala)
As an option to the anticipated contract, the NRC may choos computer code or codes for transport in the unsaturated zone e to include a O

for each of the computer codes, the contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, facilities, and materials to perform the following tasks:
Task 1: The contractor shall convert, where practicable without making major revisions to the programs, each of the selected programs to American National Standards (ANS) FORTRAN (per ANSI Standard X3.9-1978, also known as FORTRAN-77).
Programs which do not or are not made to conform to FORTRAN-77 must be fully comoatible with CDC Fortran Extended, Version 4.
The contractor shall then prepare written documentation and an NRC Scientific Software Submittal Package for each code.
The documentation, submittal package, and all programming work performed under this contract shall conform to the requirements described in Appendix D, Scientific Software Development and Submittal Requirements for NRC Contractors.
The applicable code documentation standard for this contract shall be ANSI Standard N-413.
The contractor shall install the software on the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) CDC 6600/7600 system and run the simulation examples for each code to ensure that the software is completely operational.
A BNL account number and computer time for the sof tware installation work will be provided to the contractor by the NRC.
Staff from the NRC Office of Resource Management, Divison of Data Automation and Management Information (RM/D) will provide the contractor with systems-related advice and assistance as required for the code installation.
Resolution of program-related problems or questions, however, will be the responsibility of the contractor.
It shall also be the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the codes sill run properly in the BNL computer facility environment (e.g., core storage requirements must not exceed BNL limits, special library routines not available at BNL must be provided, etc.).
During the code installation period, the contractor will be provided with the use of a CRT terminal at NRC headquarters at Bethesda, Maryland in order to access the BNL system.
Printed and graphical output production facilitics will also be available.
In using the BNL facility for the sof tware installations, the contractor shall follow all RM/D procedures, such as data set naming con 0entions, rules for priority runs, etc.
Rii/D will inform the contractor of these procedures at the time their account number is assigned.
If a computer tape is used, Contractor shall transmit the computer tape to BNL, according to instructions provided by the flRC Project Officer, at least one. week prior to start of installation.
All program development, conversion, and testing prior to the installa-tion of the software at BNL shall be performed using contractor-provided facilities.
