1.0 BACKGROUND
Under the aegis of the U.S. initiative for nuclear weapons safety, security, and dismantlement known as the Comprehensive Threat Reduction (CTR) Program, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are engaged in establishing bilateral technical assistance programs with Ukraine in the nuclear material safeguards areas of material control and accounting (MC&A) and physical protection. The objective of U.S. assistance is to help Ukraine improve its capabilities to effectively safeguard nuclear material. The assistance will be carried out~under a bilateral agreement for cooperation, and it is supported by funds authorized by Congress in the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (Nunn-Lugar).
Regulatory programs for safeguarding nuclear material in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) are virtually nonexistent. The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety (MEPNS) has been established as an independent authority for overseeing Ukrainian nuclear safety and safeguards programs. MEPNS has acknowledged serious deficiencies in staffing and technical resources, and it has expressed strong interest in U.S.
assistance. Effective MC&A and physical protection are critical to. safeguarding strategic nuclear materials in support of nonproliferation goals. In the interest of nonproliferation, improvements are needed in national regulatory oversight to ensure nuclear materials in Ukraine are effectively protected.
The U.S. and Ukraine signed an Agreement in September 1993 for joint cooperation in MC&A and physical protection using Nunn-Lugar funds under the CTR program. A Ukrainian Project Plan has been developed and approved which contains certain proposed projects to be carried out in cooperation with MEPNS and other agencies.
2.0 OBJECTIVE One of the activities defined under ths program plan for cooperative efforts is a request by. MEPNS for NRC to provide a training course based on U.S.
processes for defining reactor safety equipment which should be protected as vital and criteria and guidance documents utilized. This task addresses that activity.
3.0 TECHNICAL AND OTHER SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS RE0UIRED Contractor shall furnish technical staff members that have experience with NRC Physical Protection regulations, methodologies and practicles related to protection of Nuclear Power plant safety systems. Familiarization with Reactor Facility System Analysis Reports and Sabotage Fault Trees as well as analytical methods for identifying specific combinations of certain critical equipment, plant and other non-essential equipment which, if disabled, could cause core damage is also desirable.
4.0 LEVEL OF EFFORT It is estimated that this task will take approximately 184 hours0.00213 days <br />0.0511 hours <br />3.042328e-4 weeks <br />7.0012e-5 months <br /> to complete.
5.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance for the work specified in this task order shall comence on the effective date of the task and shall continue for approximately 2 months from that date.
6.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this task is to develop instructional materials to include a lesson plan, view graphs hand-out reference material, etc. for use in presentation of a reactor systems analysis training course.

7.0 SCOPE OF WORK The course will be presented to Ukrainian inspectors and representatives from facilities (and possibly other agencies) to provide information about defining critical equipment and associated protective strategies utilized in the U.S.
The PO will_ provide-a representative to assist NRC in the presentation of the the course. The contractor shall satisfactorily complete the following:
i I
- f. +
-1) Review subjedt material ~ provided by NRC for compiling appropriate course
. materials and modify as needed. These materials may be supplemented with-additional materials, as. appropriate, from the contractor'or other sources.
The-_ materials supplied by NRC will include course materials, NRC inspection.
. procedures and associated guidance documents. NRC regulations. and other materials that may be relevant to the subject matter.
Thelcoursematerialw111be'developedinEnglishbythecontractorandshall include:
'A . An' outline for the course, which contains the course agenda.
- objectives and related infomation as detemined by the TM and contractor.
.B. Instructor's view graphs for presentation by overhead projector.
The view graphs should be created in a manner that will allow spaces for the insertion of Russian language text immediately beneath the English language text on each graph:
C. Student course handbooks, which include the course agenda. Each handbook' may include some or all of the view graphs, as appropriate.
supplemented by additional reference information. The student handbook cis designed to provide _ a guide during the course, a reference after the
.cdurse.-andasamediumfornote-taking. The resulting course material should be sufficient to address related issues for a 1 - 11/2 day course (allowing for time at the end of'the day to address general questions and comments), taking into account that U.S. interpreters will verbally translate the information into Russian throughout the course presentation.
- 2) NRC will translate the view graphs and course student handbook into Russian. .will prepare several' Russian /English language sets of the view graphsc as well as a designated number of Russian language student handbooks.
- 3) iThe contractor shall provide a representative (ideally someone familiar
!with the compiled course material) to assist NRC in the presentation of the
. course in Ukraine. NRC .will be responsible for. the all of the

. A contractor representative 'shall also accompany NRC to Kiev. Ukraine to present the course during the April 1998 time frame, as described in 7.0 (3) above. As contractor representative will be in-country during this timeframe, travel costs from U.S. and return will be covered under a separate task order under this contract.
9.0. NRC-FURNISHED MATERIAL This is addressed in 7.0 (1) above.
10.0 CONTRACTOR-ACQUIRED MATERIAL NRC must be notified in writing when acquisition of any capital. FIP or word-processing equipment is anticipated.
