Clause titled STATEMENT OF WORK is incorporated as follows:

STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Project Title Structural Engineering Support for Advanced Reactor Licensing Reviews
2. Background Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Pat 52 Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants establishes requirements for the issuance of early site permits, standard design certifications, combined licenses, standard design approvals, and manufacturing licenses for nuclear power facilities. 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, establishes requirements for the licensing of production and utilization facilities. Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA) required the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to develop licensing strategies that include the use of topical reports, standard design approval, and other appropriate mechanisms as tools to introduce stages into the commercial advanced nuclear reactor licensing process. Pre-application interactions between the NRC and applicants, vendors, and other Government agencies, in a public forum, facilitate the upcoming application review. Applicants can submit topical reports and white papers to seek NRC approval of novel approaches to safety analysis.

The NRC staff performs a completeness determination based on the sufficiency of scope and depth that would facilitate effective completion of the review of the advanced reactor and non-power production and utilization facilities applications, topical reports, and/or white paper submittals. The NRC staff performs a technical review and documents the review in a safety evaluation report (SER). The NRC staff conducts its review in accordance with the regulations and using supporting documentation such as regulatory guidance documents and NUREG-series reports.

The NRC is anticipating construction permits applications for the X-Energy Xe-100 and TerraPower Natrium reactors. The Xe-100 is a 200 MWt graphite-moderated, helium-cooled, high-temperature gas reactor cited for Seadrift, Texas. The Terra Power Natrium is a 840 MWt sodium-cooled reactor cited for Kemmerer, Wyoming. The NRC anticipates receiving license applications for these reactors in 2024-2025.

3. Objective The objective is to obtain technical support from the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA), herein referred as contractor, to assist the NRC staff in performing licensing reviews for advanced non-light water reactors for issues related to structural design, seismic analyses, and geotechnical engineering. Specifically, technical support is required to determine the safety adequacy for construction permits for the X-energy Xe-100 and

31310023D0005/31310024F0016 Page 6 TerraPower reactors, as well as any supporting technical documentation referenced in the application so the NRC staff can make a licensing decision regarding whether the applications meet regulatory requirements and are in accordance with the guidance provided in the most current edition of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition, DANU-ISG-2022-01, Review of Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Advanced Reactor ApplicationsRoadmap, May 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML22048B546),

Task 3 Completeness Review The contractor shall perform a completeness review for the applicants applicable PSAR sections using the criteria in Section 3.1.2, Technical Staff Criteria, of LIC-109, Acceptance Review Procedures, July 2020. The contractors completeness review will consider the guidance in Enclosure 3, Information Insufficiency Examples, to LIC-109.

31310023D0005/31310024F0016 Page 8 For applications based on Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) (NEI 18-04), "Risk-Informed Performance-Based Technology Inclusive Guidance for Non-Light Water Reactor Licensing Basis Development Report, Revision 1, August 2019, the contractor shall, at the direction of the COR, utilize the criteria or guidance within: (1) Draft Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.253, Guidance for a Technology-Inclusive Content-Of-Application Methodology to Inform the Licensing Basis and Content of Applications for Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Non-Light-Water Reactors, Revision 1, August 2023 (ML23194A194); (2) NEI 21-07, "Technology Inclusive Guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors," Revision 0, August 2021; DANU-ISG-2022-01, Review of Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Advanced Reactor ApplicationsRoadmap, May 2023 (ML22048B546); and (3) DANU-ISG-2002-2, Advanced Reactor Content of Application Project, Chapter 2, Site Information Draft Interim Staff Guidance, May 2023 (ML22074A146).

The contractor shall document their completeness review using LIC-109, Section 3.2, to include a recommendation on if there is sufficient information to conduct a detailed review. If there are sufficient deficiencies in the applicants PSAR, the contractor should also provide the NRC with a recommendation on any resource or schedule changes needed to complete the detailed review.

Task 4 Preliminary Safety Evaluation and Additional Information Needs Identification

a. Initial Review The contractor shall perform an initial review of the applicable PSAR sections to gain an understanding of the material. For applications based on LMP, the contractor shall, at the direction of the COR, utilize the criteria or guidance within: (1) Draft RG 1.253, (2) NEI 21-07, and (3) DANU-ISG-2002-2. The contractor shall document their initial review in a preliminary safety evaluation. If the contractor identifies areas where the applicants PSAR sections lacks sufficient information to reach necessary conclusions these should be denoted as holes. The contractor shall use Safety Evaluation Template for Topical Reports, January 2022 (ML20283A656, non-publicly available) and Safety Evaluation Content Guide for Topical Report Reviews, February 2021 (ML20283A663, non-publicly available). The contractor shall identify areas where the applicants PSAR sections lack sufficient information and develop questions to get the desired information from the applicant (if needed). For each contractor question, the NRC staff will determine the most appropriate method for obtaining the necessary information (e.g., meeting, clarification call, audit, request for additional information).
b. Audit Plan and Audit Summary Report For the applicants PSAR sections, the contractor shall precipitate in the audit, develop input to the NRC an audit plan and audit summary report. The NRC uses audits to gain understanding, verify information, and identify information that needs to be submitted on a docket to support an NRC decision. The contractor shall use LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, Revision 1, October 31, 2019, (ML19226A274) to perform this task. The contractor will follow the format and content of the example audit plan, Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2 - Regulatory Audit Plan in Support of License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt Risk-Informed Completion Times, September 2021 (ML21260A074) and the example audit summary report at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2 - Regulatory Audit Summary Regarding

31310023D0005/31310024F0016 Page 9 License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt Risk-Informed Completion Times, December 2021 (ML21348A719). Section 4.1 of LIC-111 states, To the extent possible, the audit team leader should prepare a list of documents, discussion topics, and any other special requests that are needed to support the audit. These items should be added to the audit plan and communicated to the licensee either orally or in writing, typically 14 days before the regulatory audit. However, for this audit plan, the contractor (and the audit team leader) will prepare the list of documents, discussion topics, and any other special requests and include these items in the audit plan. The NRC staff will provide the following information for inclusion in the audit plan: team assignments, logistics, special requests, and deliverables, which are described in LIC-111, Section 4.2.e through 4.2.h.

c. Requests for Additional Information (RAIs)

If the NRC staff determines that information needed to answer a contractor question should be addressed through issuance of an RAI, the contractor shall develop an RAI and evaluate whether the applicants RAI response resolves the question. An RAI is one means to obtain information that the NRC deems necessary for resolving safety issues that are not adequately addressed in a licensing submittal. A specific type of RAI is a request for conformation of information (RCI). RCIs may be used in cases where the reviewer has identified specific non-docketed information that is necessary to support a regulatory finding during the review (e.g.,

during an audit). In these cases, the NRC staff does not seek an open-ended response to a particular question, but only confirmation of the information outlined in the RCI. The contractor shall use LIC-115, Processing Requests for Additional Information, Revision 1, August 2021, (ML21141A238).

Task 5 Draft Safety Evaluation

a. Draft Safety Evaluation The contractor shall prepare a draft safety evaluation from the previously developed preliminary safety evaluation. The holes will be filled using information provided by the applicant on the docket.
b. Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) Review The ACRS provides independent technical review and advice to the NRC on the safety of existing and proposed nuclear facilities and on the adequacy of proposed reactor safety standards. The NRC staff will provide a briefing to the ACRS as requested on the NRC staffs review of the PSAR. The contractor shall support these briefings for the contractors PSAR sections. These briefing typically take place at ACRS subcommittee and full committee meetings. Support may include preparation of briefing materials for the subcommittee and full committee meetings, attending the meetings, and answering questions from the ACRS.

Task 6 Final Safety Evaluation The NRC will provide comments to the contractor based on relevant comments from the applicant (i.e., identification of proprietary information) from the Draft SE, the staffs concurrence review, and any ACRS comments (the ACRS will issue a letter regarding the PSAR and the staffs safety evaluation for the PSAR). The contractor shall prepare a final safety evaluation

31310023D0005/31310024F0016 Page 10 that addresses the comments provided by the COR. The NRC may decide there are no comments that warrant revising the contractors SE sections.

Task 7 Commission hearing The contractor will support the Commission hearing following the guidance in LIC-201, "NRR support to the Hearing Process," Revision 3, March 2008 (ML080730530 non-public). For example, contractor support may be needed to answer pre-hearing questions from the Commission.

It is presently anticipated that petitioners may submit written contentions on the license applications on and/or NRCs proposed licensing action for consideration by the NRC Commission. If the NRC Commission grants standing to any of the petitioners and admits any of the proffered contentions, the NRC Commission will hold a contested hearing held on the project. If needed and as directed by the COR, the Contractor shall support the NRC staff by reviewing the submitted contentions and providing written responses (including copies of reference materials, as necessary) to these contentions, as well as other written materials in response to interrogatories from the NRC Commission on the contentions and related matters, as required. If needed and as requested by the COR, the Contractor shall also review and provide written comments on any written materials submitted by the applicant and other parties relevant to the submitted contentions. It shall be assumed that up to ten (10) contentions on issues will be submitted by petitioners. Support may include preparation of briefing materials for the NRC staff and Commission, attending the meetings, and answering questions from the Commission.

5. Reporting Requirements Monthly Letter Status Report (MLSR)

The contractor shall provide a Monthly Letter Status Report (MLSR) per Section C.6 of the Base Contract. The MLSR shall provide a separate status break out for each applicants Construction Permit application and supporting document(s), e.g., topical report(s). If no work was performed during the prior month, the contractor shall not prepare and submit an MLSR. The MLSR shall be provided electronically to the COR, the Alternate COR and the Contracting Officer (CO) by the 20th calendar day of the following month.

6. Deliverables and Delivery Schedule The below are representative deliverables which may be required for each Task with anticipated deliverable dates. Licensing reviews are dependent upon applicant schedules and responsiveness. The deliverables and due dates in the table below are subject to change by the COR. Changes to the deliverables and due dates will be submitted by the COR in writing.
