"Statement of Work for Technical Review of KHNP APR1400 Large Break LOCA Methodology Topical Report This Statement of Work for this Task Order falls within the Small Business Set-Aside part of NRC IDIQ Contract entitled Technical Assistance in Support of Agency Environmental and Reactor Programs, paragraph 3.7, APR-1400 DESIGN CENTER.1.PROJECT TITLE Technical Review of KHNP APR1400 Large Break LOCA Realistic Evaluation Methodology Topical Report 2.BACKGROUND In January 2013, the Applicant, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (KHNP) submitted topical report APR1400-F-A-TR-12004-P, Revision 0, "Realistic Evaluation Methodology for Large Break LOCA of the APR1400," [LBLOCA REM] for review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of New Reactors (NRO). The topical report is part of the pre-application package for the APR1400 Design Certification application.

Although the Design Certification application package has not been accepted for review by the NRC, the topical report was accepted for review in March 2013. Resubmittal of the Design Certification application is expected in late 2014. The APR1400 LBLOCA REM follows the concept of "Code Scalability, Applicability, and Uncertainty (CSAU)" described in NUREG/CR-5249, "Quantifying Reactor Safety Margins," and the guidelines of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.157, "Best-Estimate Calculations of Emergency Core Cooling System Performance."

The APR1400 LBLOCA REM uses the RELAP5/MOD3.3/K and CONTEMPT4/MOD5 codes for the calculation of the reactor coolant system thermal-hydraulics and containment backpressure, respectively, for the large-break LOCA transient scenarios.

Statistical techniques used to quantity the overall uncertainty of the calculation are different from those of the CSAU methodology in order to accommodate the increased number of uncertainty parameters, but still conform to the requirement of RG 1.157.The LBLOCA REM topical report provides the detailed methodology to be used in the Design Certification Document (DCD), Chapter 15, Section 15.6.5, "Loss-of-Coolant Accidents Resulting From Spectrum of Postulated Piping Breaks Within the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary".

Detailed review guidance is provided in Section 15.6.5 of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition - Transient and Accident Analysis" (SRP 15.6.5). The principal purpose of the SRP is to assure the quality and uniformity of staff safety reviews. Guidance for the LOCA Evaluation Model and analysis methods is provided in SRP 15.0.2, "Review of Transient and Accident Analysis Methods" and in Regulatory Guide 1.203, "Transient and Accident Analysis Methods."

NRC-HQ-25-14-E-0002 NRC-HQ-25-14-T-0002 M0006 5 Independent of the full scope APR1400 DCD review, the staff of NRO's Reactor Systems, Nuclear Performance

& Code Review Branch (SRSB) will conduct a review of the LBLOCA REM topical report to determine its acceptability to be used for the APR1400 large-break LOCA analysis. Documentation of this review will be provided in a Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER).The FSER must provide sufficient information to adequately explain the NRC staff's rationale for determining that there is reasonable assurance that public health and safety is protected.

The FSER should be written in a manner whereby a person with a technical (non-nuclear) background and unfamiliar with the applicant's request could understand the basis for the staff's conclusions.

The FSER format is described in Attachment 1 to this task order statement of work (SOW).The objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise from the contractor to assist the staff in determining the adequacy of the KHNP APR1400 Large Break LOCA Realistic Evaluation Model topical report APR1400-F-A-TR-12004-P, Revision 0, for use in the APR1400 Design Certification application.

The review will also include Technical Report APR1400-F-C-NR-12001-P, "Thermal Design Methodology", which was submitted in support of the topical report.3.SCOPE OF WORK The Contractor must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW). The Contractor must provide individuals who have the required educational background and work experience to meet the objectives of the work specified in this task order. Specific qualifications for this effort include: a) expertise and experience in analysis of nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics; b) expertise in use of the RELAP5 computer code; c) expertise and familiarity with NRC regulations pertaining to analysis of nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics, specifically LOCA analyses under the standard review plan (SRP) Sections 4.4 and Sections 15.0.2 and 15.6.5; d) familiarity with requests for additional information (RAI) development; and e) experience and familiarity with development of technical evaluation report (TER) supporting positions developed during the review.NOTE: Work on this task order will involve the handling of proprietary information.

The contractor shall provide a contract project manager (PM) to oversee the effort and ensure the timely submittal of quality deliverables so that all information is accurate and complete as defined in the base contract. The NRC will rely on representations made by the contractor concerning the qualifications of the personnel assigned to this task order, including assurance that all information contained in the technical and cost proposals, including resumes, is accurate and truthful. The resume for each professional proposed to work under this task order (contractor, subcontractor, or consultant) shall describe the individual's experience in applying his or her area of engineering specialization to work in the proposed area. The use of particular personnel on this contract is subject to the NRC technical monitor's (TM's) approval. This includes any proposed changes to key personnel during the life of the task order.

NRC-HQ-25-14-E-0002 NRC-HQ-25-14-T-0002 M0006 6 The contractor shall provide at a minimum, monthly letter status reports (MLSRs) to the NRC Technical Monitor and the Contracting Officer. Copies must also be sent to the Division of Contracts at ContractsPOT.Resource@nrc.gov
