Title:

Scoping Study of Potential for Sabotage of W:6 Task Order Nurnber: 1

1. Obiective; The objective of this task is to perform a preliminary review of the potential for fatal consequences to the v'orker or member of the public from sabotage of the processing of uranium hexafluoride (UF.) at regulated fuel facilties to assess whether protection against such sabotage is warranted, or, if a definitive assessment is not possible, identify any issues requiring resolution to make such an assessment.

2. Level of Effort:

It is estimated that this project will take approximate!y 320 hours0.0037 days <br />0.0889 hours <br />5.291005e-4 weeks <br />1.2176e-4 months <br /> of effort to complete.

3. Eeriod of Performance:

The period of performance for the work specified in this task order shall commence on the effective date of this task order. All work and reporting shall be completed by Dec. 31,1998.

4. Scoce of Work:

For this scoping study, the contractor shall perform the following tasks considering only a select few NRC-regulated facilities possessing and\\or processing UF.. As a minimum, the facility information to be reviewed in this scoping study shallinclude a gaseous diffusion plant (Portsmouth or Paducah), a uranium conversion facility (Allied-Signal), and a low enriched uranium fuel fabrication facility. For each facility considered, the contractor shall:

1) Determine the quantity of UF that could be released by saboteurs with the capabilities of the design basis radiological sabotage threat defined in 10 CFR 73.1(a)(1), including assessment of scenarious involving solid, liquid, and gaseous UF.

2) Provide a preliminary estimate of fatal consequences that could result from such sabotage.

(Perhaps this could be based on models used in the existing safety analyses, and the information referenced in section 5 below.)

3) Identify any issues that would need resolution to make a determination whether a significant potential for fatal consequences exists that warrants sabotage protection. These identification of these issues should consider:

a.

Whether or not more detailed mcWiing of the conse.quences of t%

hypothesized sabotage scenarios ne nxeded in ord'er for the NRC to make a

.y.

2 reasoned determination regarding t'h6' potential need for sabotage protection at these facilities.

b.

Whether other regulated facilities possessing or utilizing UF6 and UF in transport would need to be considered.

5. NRC Furnished Materials NRC shall provide the contractor with a copy of:

1) Accident analyses for the selected facilties.

2) NUREG/CR-6481, Volumes 1 and 2 " Review of Models Used for Determining Consequences of UF. Release."

3' NUREG 6410," Fuel Cycle Facilities Accident Analysis Handbook"

4) " Response Technical Manual (RTM) Supplement fear Gaseious Diffusion Plants", August

1997, p

6._ Meetinas and Travel:

' All travel associated with this task order shall be approved in advance. All such travel shall result in trip reports, which may be issued separately or as part of the next monthly letter status report.
