NRC-03-96-028 Section C SECTION C - DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / WORK STATEMENT l
C.1 BACKGROUND l
l Recent NRC inspections at nuclear power reactor facilities have l
identified numerous findings where the actual plant configuration l
or operations were inconsistent with the design basis, licensing l
basis or the UFSAR. Therefore, the NRC has decided to perform design inspections at facilities.
Sites to be inspected will be identified by the NRC Project Officer and issued to inspection teams as technical direction.
C.2 CONTRACT OBJECTIVES The objective of this procurement is to obtain a team of five design specialists who are experts in PWR systems to assist NRC in design inspections.
The NRC inspections are intended to determine if operating nuclear power plants still meet their original design bases and ensure that plants have been maintained in compliance with their design and licensing bases over their lifetime. There will be an emphasis on plant design, consistency of the as-built j
configuration and plant operations with the UFSAR, and licensing basis commitments.
i i
C.3 WORK REQUIREMENTS j
l The contractor's PWR design ins)ection team consisting.of five individuals who are expert in tie following disciplines:
i mechanical. systems, instrumentation and controls, and electrical (at least one in each discipline) are required to fulfill NRC's needs. One member of this team shall be at the middle management level. That individual shall be designated as the lead contractor engineer for the team, and shall be responsible for managing the other contractor employees, in addition to performing )ortions of the design inspection and writing the final report. T1e NRC Project Officer will provide technical direction as specified in Section G.1 of the contract entitled "NRC Project Officer Authority."
The design inspections shall be performed in accordance with i
Inspection Procedure (IP) 93801. Safety System Functional Inspection (Attachment 5 to the Request for Proposal). The NRC i
Project Officer shall designate a minimum of two safety systems per inspection for vertical slice review. The Engineering Design i
and Configuration Control section of the IP shall be the focus of the inspection. Other sections on Operations. Maintenance, and Surveillance and Testing will be addressed as they relate to the design and licensing bases, e.g.. whether test acceptance criteria are consistent with the licensing basis.
Page 6 of 40
1 NRC-03-96-028 Section C C.3 (Continued)
The contractor's PWR team shall prepare an inspection plan for each design inspection in accordance wNt ?P 93801 and provide a copy of the plan to the NRC Technical e a tor assigned to accompany the Contractor for the onsi. inspection.
The contractor's team is expected to be continuously involved in NRC design inspections over a two-year period.
Individuals on each inspection team shall be kept together as a team for repetitive inspections. Alternate personnel shall be made available for situations such as vacations, conflicts of interest.
or other matters requiring substitutions. All team members are specified as key personnel under the Key Personnel clause in-l Section H.2.
This PWR team shall conduct four design inspections annually over a two-year base period and two one-year options, if exercised by the Government. The inspections will be performed to the following schedule unless otherwise provided as technical direction by the NRC Project Officer:
Week 1: Site visit to identify documents Week 2:
In office preparation Week 3: Site inspection Week 4:
In office review Week 5: Site inspection Week 6: Site inspection Week 7:
In office review Week 8: Site inspection and exit meeting Week 9 & 10: Report preparation by team members Week 11: Contractor team leader finalize report Week 12: Respond to NRC comments, revise and submit the final report Week 13: Site inspection for corrective action followup-(several months after Week 12)
At the conclusion of Week 12. the contractor shall submit the final inspection report to the NRC Project Officer. The schedule for Week 13 is dependent upon receipt of the licensee's response to the inspection report (up to three months after Week 12) and Page 7 of 40 l
NRC-03-96-028 Section C C.3 (Continued) availability of the AE team that performed the inspection for corrective action followup. The contractor shall submit the report of the followup inspection one week after the conclusion of i

This manual chapter provides guidance on inspection report content, format and style.
C.4 MEETINGS AND TRAVEL'
~
The contractor's PWR team shall conduct four design inspections annually over a two-year period.
For each design inspection, team members will make five 5-day trips to the site, including one trip for a followup inspection on open items. The lead contractor engineer will make an additional 3-day trip to the site to identify documents needed for inspection preparation. As this inspection team will be continuously involved in NRC design-inspections during the performance of this contract, no task j
orders or delivery orders will be issued.
Instead, the PWR team will be informed of sites it is to inspect by the NRC Project Officer as technical direction. An NRC Project Officer will j
accompany each inspection team on all site visits.
C.5 OPTION YEARS ONE AND TWO The period of performance of this contract may be extended at the sole option of the Government for two additional one-year periods.
