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 i
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 authori' zed by Congress in the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (Nunn-Lugar) and successor legislation such as the Freedom Support Act of 1992.
Regulatory programs for safeguarding nuclear material in the FSU are virtually nonexistent.
The Ministry of Environmental j
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 l
projects to be carried out in cooperation with MEPNS and other agencies.

'2.0 OBJECTIVE i
The objective of this task is to develop a draft regulatory outline and regulatory technical ~ requirements utilizing comparison's with NRC regulations and IAEA international recommendations.
3.0 TECHNICAL AND OTHER SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS REOUIRED Technical. staff members shall have experience with NRC MC&A and l
Physical Protection regulations, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommendations, and should be familiar with the associated regulatory documents, 10 CFR Part 73 and IAEA'S INFORMATION CIRCULAR 225.
4.0 LEVEL OF EFFORT j
i l
It is estimated that this project will take approximately 200 l
hours to complete.
l 5.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance for the work specified in this task order shall commence on the effective date of the task and shall continue for appr'oximately 3 months from that date.
j 6.0 SCOPE OF WORK The^ objective of this task is the development of implementing technical requirements for physical protection.
The contractor l
'shall initiate the. development of a technicci requirements structure, including an initial outline of the general provisions that would be addressed within this structure.
These requirements shall consider the types of facilities which Ukraine operates.
However, Ukraine has asked that NRC preclude l
technical requirements for processing of Category 1 SSNM, storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel and utilization of private guards until a later date. When identifying protective practices consideration should be given to theft and diversion and to L
identifying " specific" protective practices for radiological
. sabotage. The specific regulatory. technical requirements should l
be developed to reflect the most current and effectively utilized NRC requirements / practices and international recommendations and include any additional requirements which the contractor and NRC deems necessary.
All supporting documentation and site specific information will be tra'nsmitted to the contractor in support of this effort.
Any-additional lines of inquiry relating to
~
l
1 Ukrainian laws, agencies or nuclear facilities may be transmitted j
~
to the NRC Technical-Monitor who will forward the request to the appropriate Ukrainian contact.
GENERAL PROVISIONS PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL IN TRANSIT PHYSICAL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AT FIXED SITES PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL OF MODERATE AND LOW STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE RECORDS AND REPORTS l
ENFORCEMENT The contractor shall review subject material provided to NRC during the December 1997 meeting in Kiev for developing the l
initial draft outline and subsequent technical requirements.
These materials may be supplemented with additional mat.erials, as appropriate, from the contractor or other sources.
The materials supplied by NRC will translated and forwarded to the contractor.
Also, the contractor shall provide a representative (ideally someone familiar with NRC regulations) to assist NRC in
~
consultations with Ukraine, site visits, and an annual working group meeting on an "as needed" basis.
NRC will be responsible for all contractor travel arrangements ano travel costs for airfare, hotel, and meals.
7.0 MEETINGS AND TRAVEL It is anticipated that 1 trip by one contractor representative to Ukraine for four days may be required to discuss the technical' requirements development by NRC and may evolve into a working group neeting to review future assistance projects for Ukraine.
All travel associated with the SOW shall be approved by the NMSS TM in advance.
All such travel shall result in a trip report, which my be issued separately or as part of the next monthly letter status report.
Copies of separately issued trip reports shall be submitted in accordance within 30 days of the completion of the travel.
