Title:

Technical Assistance in Support of Reactor License Renewal and Environmental Evaluation Activities Related to Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Davis ýBesse.Unit 1, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear -Reactor Regulation Job Code: J-4473 Task Area: Kick-off Meeting, Technical Support for Safety Review, Peer Review, ACRS support, ASLBP support Task Order #: Three (3)-.Davis Besse Unit 1 (Safety Review)

Budget Structure Code: 2011-x0200-20-11-4-148 NRC Issuing Office: Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation NRC Project Officer: Karyn Hannum, 301-415-2290, Karyn.Hannum@nrc.gov NRC Technical Monitor: Robert Sun, 301-415-3421, Robert.Sun@nrc.gov Fee Recoverable: Yes TAC Numbers: Davis Besse Unit 1- Safety - ME4640 Performing Organization: Center-for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA hereafter Center)

-1.*0 Background NRC's Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) is responsible for ensuring the public health and safety through licensing and inspection activities-at all commercial nuclear power reactor facilities in the United States. Evaluation of License Renewal Applications (LRAs) is performed by the Division of License Renewal (DLR). DLR performs its work in accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations, Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54),

"Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." In addition, DLR uses guidance provided in NUREG-1 800, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants",. Revision 1 (SRP-LR), dated September'2005 and in NUREG-1 801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," Revision 1 also dated September 2005. The staff is seeking technical assistance in-the review -of LRAs in the area of Corrosion/Materials Engineering.

2.0 Objective The objective of this contract is to provide technical support in the area of corrosion/materials engineering to the DLR project team in reviewing and evaluating the operating license renewal application of Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1.

3.0 Scope of Work The project team, composed of'the Center and NRC staff, will audit and review aging management programs (AMPs), aging management reviews (AMRs), and time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) submitted by-the applicant. The projectteam will be led by a plant project manager (PM). The Center shall provide subject matter technical experts (SMEs) knowledgeable and experienced in the area of corrosion/materials engineering and science applicable to license renewal activities. The Center will provide technical expertise and services on a task basis for task 1. The Center may provide technical expertise and services on this task order for three (3) optional tasks (tasks 5, 6, and 7) which include providing technical support for Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) meetings, technical support for Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP) hearings and peer review of safety evaluation reports if directed to do so by the Technical Monitor or Project Officer.

For its AMP review, the project team evaluates and audits the AMPs the applicant proposes to ensure that they are consistent with the GALL Report and reviews other selected plant-specific AMPs. For the assigned task scope of work the project team reviews the applicant's aging management activities and programs to determine whether these AMPs are adequate to manage the effects of aging on systems, .structures, and components so their intended functions will be maintained consistent with the plant's current licensing basis (CLB) during the proposed period of extended operation.

For its AMR review, the project .team -evaluates the AMRs assigned in work packages called technical review packages. The technical review package concept will be explained below.

For the TLAA review, the project team evaluates the information provided by the applicant addressing the GALL Report recommendations and plant-specific TLAAs and determines if the information provided meets the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21.

An important attribute of this statement of work (SOW) is to provide flexibility in support. DLR will have multiple license renewal applications being reviewed concurrently and intends to use a blend of NRC personnel with Center support. Therefore, the contract support will need to be flexible and integrated with DLRs needs. DLR will provide a clear delegation of responsibility before the work begins for this project/plant to prevent any duplication of effort.

The following table provides examples of corrosion/materials engineering areas Center support staff will be expected to review and/or audit. Each of these topical areas is referred to as a "technical review package." The technical review package contains:

• Relevant SRP Sections

. AMRs that are not associated with a SRP section (Note E's)

° AMR line items (Non-note A -.D)

• AMRs questioned by the plant project manager as to their consistency with the GALL Report

• ° Relevant AMPs

• FSAR Supplement (Associated with AMPS/TLAAs to be verified by-Technical Reviewer)

. GALL items where there was no associated aging effect claimed by the applicant TLAAs will also be included in a technical review-package. Technical review packages are work packages that are developed to focus the reviewers on the specific areas for review. Audits are performed for the technical areas where the .applicant claims consistency with the GALL Report.

In some cases, the Staff or Center may not need to audit a-technical review package item because the items-are not consistent with the GALL Report and will need-to be technically reviewed. Items where there is a claim for consistency with GALL will be audited at the plant site. The Center will provide the audit write up, requests for additional information (RAIs) and safety evaluation report (SER) input for the audited items. Areas not audited will be reviewed, RAIs developed, and SER input provided.

The table below lists examples of technical review packages in the corrosion/materials area-for a typical license renewal application. The list may or may not reflect the final technical review package assignments. The actual list of technical review package assignments will be finalized later.
