1.0 BACKGROUND

The Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy) has submitted this license application request (LAR) for a measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) power uprate. Within this LAR(attached), Duke Energy has provided a fluence evaluation using the unapproved code RAPTOR-M3G, developed by Westinghouse.

The NRC needs technical assistance to review the RAPTOR-M3G fluence evaluation for Catawba's MUR LAR and that the review is completed according to schedule. The review wil be performed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.190, RCalculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence."

Under NRCHQ2514D0002 task order NRCHQ2015T0014, the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been assisting the NRC staff in reviewing Catawba's Measurement Uncertainty Recapture Fluence evaluation for Duke Energy Nuclear.

1

The purpose of this modification is to add an additional task to the Work Requirements and Schedule section, which involves two site audits. Based on the review conducted thus far and the findings to date, the NRC staff finds that a site audit will enable a more efficient and effective review, thereby improving the NRC staffs ability to fulfill our project goals 2.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise from BNL to assist the NRC staff in determining the technical adequacy of the LAR submitted by Duke Energy for Catawba's MUR fluence evaluation (section IV.1.C.ii) in order to address the fluence evaluation issue described above.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK BNL must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW).

The scope of work involves review and evaluation of the technical and regulatory basis for the use of the RAPTOR-M3G code developed by Westinghouse.. Review of the Code must show compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence". BNL must provide input for the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation(SE) report that documents the NRC's technical, legal, and safety basis for approving the license amendment. The goal of the SE is to provide the technical, safety, and legal basis for the NRC's decision regarding approving this code. In support of this goal, BNL will review the methodology and results described in the application for technical adequacy and agreement with applicable NRC guidance. The Contractor will draft a Technical Evaluation Report (TER) describing their review and conclusions on the technical and regulatory adequacy of RAPTOR-M3G code.. If portions of the code are not shown to be technically adequate to support the conclusions expressed in the application, or ifportions of the code do not agree with NRC guidance, then the Contractor will identify these "gaps" in writing as a request for additional information (RAI) and provide them to the NRC technical point of contact and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The NRC technical point of contact and COR will coordinate issuing the RAI to the licensee to address the gaps and obtain responses. The BNL will review responses to the RAI and use those responses to finalize the TER.

4.0 SPECIFIC TASKS BNL must-perform the following tasks:

Using the criteria and guidelines found in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.190 and 1.99 as necessary to review the acceptability of Catawba's MUR fluence evaluation (section IV.1.C.ii) within the LAR submitted by Duke Energy.

Task I Kickoff Meeting 1.a Preparation for Kickoff Meeting Become familiar with the LAR submittal by Duke Energy.

1.b Attend Kickoff Meeting 2

Attend a one-time kick-off meeting (either in person or via conference call) to discuss the scope of work, expectations, task order management, and performance requirements of the task order. The kick-off meeting shall be held within ten (10) working days after BNL receipt of LAR materials.

Task 2 Review LAR Submission 2.a Evaluate the LAR Submittal Review the LAR to determine the technical accuracy and regulatory compliance of the request.

2.b Prepare Draft Technical Evaluation Report Prepare a draft Technical Evaluation Report (TER) that incorporates the results of the review and evaluation. The TER should be organized to parallel the applicable sections in NRC's Standard Review Plan, Chapters 4 and 15. The TER may include other relevant information that is not included in the SRP.

Only input to SER sections requiring revision must be included In the TER. The TER must contain draft text, tables, and illustrations, as appropriate, suitable for Inclusion in NRC's SER. The TER must provide sufficient information to adequately support the NRC staff's rationale for why there is reasonable assurance that public health and safety is protected. It must be written so that a person with either non-nuclear technical background or non-technical background can understand the basis for conclusions cited.

Prepare final draft TER that incorporates comments provided by the COR.

As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with Duke Energy to discuss the LAR materials.

2.c Prepare RAts Identify unresolved issues and any additional or clarifying Information needed in the LAR submission.

Prepare draft RAIs for use by NRC in requesting more information from Duke Energy to clarify issues raised during review of the LAR.

As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with Duke Energy to discuss additional information to be provided or clarified with the LAR.

2.d Review RAI Responses Review Duke Energy's responses to the RAIs to determine whether they adequately resolve the outstanding issues.

2.e Audit at facility Prepare for and travel to the licensee facility to audit the design documents supporting Catawba's License Amendment Request Prepare a trip report.

2.f Update the TER Update the draft TER prepared under Task 2.b to incorporate Duke Energy's RAJ responses and revise related portions of the draft text, tables, and illustrations in the TER. Prepare a final TER that Incorporates comments provided by the COR.

As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with Duke Energy to discuss the responses of the RAls.
