PROJECT TITLE: ASSISTANCE FOR KAZAKHSTAN MPC&A UNDER THE COOPERATIVE
~ THREAT REDUCTION (CTR): "NRC SYSTEMS VULNERABILITY TESTING PROGRAM AND CONTINGENCY RESPONSE WORKSHOP" JOB CODE: .J5225 TASK NUMBER: Task Order 007 B&R NUMBER: 5060815100 NRC ISSUING 0FFICE: Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards NRC PROJECT MANAGER: Donna Umbg,1 (301-415-7819)
TECHNICAL MONITOR: Michael Warren (301-415-8098)
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 Kazakhstan in the nuclear material safeguards areas of material protection, control and accounting (MPC&A). The objective of U.S. assistance is to help Kazakhstan 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) and successor legislation such as the Freedom Support Act of 1992.
c' -
Regulatory programs for safeguarding nuclear material in the FSU are virtually nonexistent. The Atomic Energy Agency Of The Republic Of Kazakhstan (AEARK) has been established as an independent authority for overseeing Kazakhstan nuclear safety and ssfeguards programs. AEARK has acknowledged serious deficiencies in staffing and technical resources, and it has expressed strong interest in U.S. assistance. Effective MPC&A 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 Kazakhstan are effectively protected.
The U.S. and Kazakhstan signed an Agreement in September 1993 for joint cooperation in MPC&A using Nunn-Lugar funds under the CTR program. A Kazakhstan Project Plan has been developed and approved which contains certain proposed projects to be carried out in cooperation with AEARK and other agencies.
20 OBJECTIVE One of the activities defined 'under the program plan for cooperative efforts is a request by AEARK fo'r NRC to provide ~a Workshop on the Vulnerability Testing of Security Systems and Development of a Contingency Response Methodology based on NRC's " Regional Assistance Program" and material obtained from various other programs such as the " Operational Safeguards Response Evaluation" (0SRE) program and relevant material from outside sources. This statement of work addresses contractor tasks for this activity. The objective of this project supports the revised Kazakhstan Program Plan of fiscal year
- 98. (NOTE: The material develooec by the contractor for this workshoo should be as oeneric as nossible. in 11aht of the fact that this material may be used at a later date for presentation in other FSU countries.
3!0 TECHNICAL AND OTHER SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS REOUIRED Contractor technical staff members should have experience and be familiar with {
the application of a variety of security systems to site specific environments j within the Nuclear Industry. In addition, knowledge of the operating technical aspects of these systems is desirable as well as knowledge of the potential weaknesses associated with the various application of these specfic systems. Also, experience with NRC's Specialized Evaluation programs (0SRE/ REGIONAL ASSISTANCE) and experience with evaluating and developing on-F-
~
site contingency respods'e' strategies for protective forces is desirable.
4.0 LEVEL OF EFFORT It is estimated that this project will take approximately 648 hours0.0075 days <br />0.18 hours <br />0.00107 weeks <br />2.46564e-4 months <br />

to complete.
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 approximately 4 months from that date.
6.0' SCOPE 0F WORK' s
The objective of.this task is to prepare instructional materials (e.g. a lesson ' plan. viewgraphs. hand-out reference material, for use in presentation
.of this 5 day workshop. The workshop will be presented to AEARK personnel and L Facility protective forces to provide information concerning NRC.
l l
i evaluation / vulnerability testing programs and development of contingency
~
l response strategies. Th'e contractor shall provide the appropriate personnel to assist NRC in the presentation 'of. the workshop. To meet these objectives.
the contractor shall satisfactorily complete the following:
l l
- 1) Review subject material provided by NRC for compiling appropriate course materials. These materials may be supplemented with additional materials, as appropriate, from the contractor of other sources. The materials supplied by NRC will include evaluation and testing program documents and video and previously translated material from other FSU workshops which may be applicable to this workshop and other outside materials that may be relevant to the subject matter.
The course material will be developed in English and Russian by the contractor and shall include:
A. Five English copies of the instructor's guide for the course, which contains the course agenda, objectives, and instruction notes and lesson plans:
B. The instructor's viewgraphs in electronic format for presentation by computer and one set of standard viewgraphs to be presented by overhead projector as an option. The viewgraphs should be created in both English-and Russian language text, but net necessarily on the same page F-i (This will be at the discretion of the contractor as to what format is most desirable for presentation): In addition, the contractor shall review available video material contained in NRC video libraries which could be utilized to support this workshop. The NRC will then be responsible for producing this material for use during the workshop.
C. Twenty-five course student handbooks, which include the course agenda. Each handbook may include some or all of the viewgraphs, as j appropriate, supplemented by additional reference information. The student handbook is designed to provide a gJide during the course, a reference after the course, and as'a medium for note-taking. The resulting course material should be sufficient to address NRC Evaluation-related issues for a five day course (allowing for some time at the end to address general questions and comments), taking into account that U.S./ Russian interpreters will verbally translate the information into Russian throughout the course presentation.
I l
D. Provide all course materials in Electronic format and hard copies and develop materi'als'to be used in the field as needed.
l l
- 2) Arrange to have view graph material translated into Russian. (NOTE: NRC may also have certain materials translated into Russian for inclusion) When this has been completed. the contractor. with assistance from the NRC administrative contractor for this project (ORTECH). will prepare 25 Russian language student handbooks. _
- 3) It is anticipated that a large percentage of this course will involve fieldwork. For the testing segment. it is anticipated that one day will be needed for classroom instruction and one day for field demonstrations, for a total'of two days. For the contingency response stratagies segment it is anticipated that one and one half days classroom will be needed and one one half days field work for a total of three days. (NOTE: NRC will consult with Kazakhstan authorities to arranae for country clearance for specialized contractor eauioment to suooort this workshop)
- 4) Provide the appropriate personnel (ideally someone familiar with the compiled course material) to assist NRC in the presentation of the course in Kazakhstan. NRC will be responsible for all contractor travel arrangements and travel costs for airfare, hotel, and meals.
