C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK 6

l i

C.I.1 BACKGROUND The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has developed _a number of computer codes to analyze various stages of severe accident behavior, for both PWRs and BWRs.

For example the VICTORIA code models the release and transport of fission products in the l

primary reactor coolant system (RCS).

Similarly,-the CURCON-MOD 3 code models the fission product release from the interaction between molten core material and concrete in the containment.

These codes require an adequate experimental data base to model the release rate and the chemical forms of fission products, and the subsequent interactions among the fission products and. the materials in the RCS or in the containment. The VICTORIA code may also be used to address design related issues or to perform pre-i or post-test analysis for the PHEBUS-FP project.

!)

The NRC is currently participating in the international

[

cooperative project, PHEBUS-FP, in France. This project performs

[

')

in pile severe fuel damage experiments and studies the fission product release and transport in the RCS.and the containment.

Many PHEBUS-FP design and operational issues relating to fission j

product chemistry and its interactions with materials in the RCS and the containment can only be resolved by obtaining new experimental data.

C.I.2 OBJECTIVE l

The Contractor shall furnish all supervision, personnel, l

facilities, materials, services, and equipment to obtain experimental data on the release rates and the chemical forms of l

t fission products from fuel and from the chemical interactions i

between fission products and other materials:(e.g.,Lstainless.

steel, zi conium, boric acid) present in the reactor coolant l

r l

System and in the containment.

C.I.3 SCOPE OF WORK l

I Task 1: Assess the Fission Product Transport Codes VICTORIA and CORCON-M003 1.

Utilize the Battelle mass spectrometer under.various; oxidation states (ranging from hydrogen-rich steam, to neutral steam, to oxygen-rich steam and to including air) at different temperatures (1000K'to 2700K) to obtain chemical speciation 1

'/

and thermochemical data from a matrix containing fuel (uranium, plutonium), fission products (cesium, strontium, 1

Page 7

~HRC-04-92-047 Section C G2203 barium, tellurium, fodine, and ruthenium), control material (silver, indium, cadmium, boron), reactor structural materials Q

(zircaloy, inconel, stainless steel) and concrete.

2.

A maximum of 40, and a minimum of 30, different composition-j temperature-oxidation state experiments shall be made each year. Should the NRC Project Officer determine that similar l

information is needed for other fission products, j

substitutions will be made at his direction on a one-for-one basis.

l 3.

These and other potential chemical species shall be screened f

to ensure that the computer codes VICTORIA and CORCON-M003 contain the complete suite of necessary compounds. The Contractor shall recommend chemical species that can be deleted from these codes.

Task 2: Assist the NRC in Resolving Fission Product Chemical Issues Related to the International Cooperative Project PHEBUS-FP in France.

j Utilize the Battelle mass spectrometer to provide experimental l

data on fission product chemistry and its interactions with materials in the RCS and the containment related to the_ PHEBUS-FP i

project. The NRC will provide the information on the chemistry, materials, and conditions for the experimentation. A minimum of i

two and a maximum of four experiments are expected a year.. Under i

a the procedures established for this project, the time required for j

VJ resolution of an issue is a minimum of one month to a maximum of three months.

f C.1.3 MEETING AND BRIEFINGS

[

A.

Per the NRC Project Officer's request, the Contractor shall attend and participate in meetings and briefings for the

l purpose of, but not limited to, reviewing progress to date,

[

discussing anticipated future work activities, and permitting j

rapid transfer of new information that could impact on.the effort of tasks related to both this program and other NRC j

programs.

B.

From October 1 through September 30th of each contract year, the Contractor shall plan to travel to Washington,-D.C. and Albuquerque, NM, for a total of'six trips to_ participate in l

code review and PHEBUS-FP project coordination meetings.

It.

is anticipated that only one Contractor personnel will be required for these trips, and the trips will last a minimum of.

'i two days to a maximum of five days.

During the same period each contract year, the Contractor shall also make a -joint trip _to the research institutes in United Kingdom (Winfrith Technology Centre) and the Netherlands (ECN-Petten) to assist the NRC Project Officer in the review of on going fission product chemistry research._ It i

is estimated that the trip from the Contractor's location to.

J. Means To Dennis Clum file i

l r u>m Carl Alexander CM Sub p1 Request for Evaluation of Spent Fuel l

L For the fifth time since 1973, we would like to perform an effusion mn on spent fuel with l

our mass spectrometer in Room 6137. The only thing that changes in these runs is what we l

try to learn from the run. The planned mn is of great interest to the international i

community. This run will establish the credibility of the BR-3 fuel as a representative fuel l

for fission product release tests.

1 Our procedure this time has been modified by the fact that the hot cell is no longer available to us for cmcible loading. We gave the NRC/EEC representatives a special knudsen cell with heavy walls of tungsten, and they will load the cell and ship it to us loaded.

i We stipulated that the radiation level be no higher than 5 R/hr on contact, and they have agreed. We have also asked for the physical dimensions of this little chip of fuel pellet.

Our procedure will be to open the container in the laboratory with and IIP present. We will ask the HP to measure to ensure the radiation level maximum is not exceeded.

Assuming the level is acceptable, Julius Ogden, using long,14", specially made tongs, will i

grasp the cell, place it on the suspension points, and lower the tungsten thermal radiation j

shields around it. At no time will a person need to be closer than 50 cm from the cell except for about 20 seconds while grasping with the tongs and placing on the suspension. A hand will be about 20 cm away while installing the high Z thermal shields, but the shields will be between the cell and the hand, so no significant exposure occurs at this time. The cell and its attendant shield pack are insened in the double-wall, water-cooled metal housing of the mass spectrometer. The all-metal system is bolted together and is ready for the run.

There is no conceivable sequence of events which would allow fission products into the laboratory during the run. There is an event which would abort the run, and that is a failure of the heater before the mn was successfully concluded. Such an abon would not release any contamination into the laboratory.

When the run is completed--successfully or not-the knudsen cell and high Z shield pack are removed into a bag for cleanup and disposal of any components contaminated in the process.

At all steps involved above, an HP would be present and would be billable to G2203-0001 for the total time of loading, running, cleanup, and disposal.
