Within this LAR(attached), Duke Energy hasprovided 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 MURLAR and that the review is completed according to schedule. The review wil be performed in accordancewith Regulatory Guide 1.190, RCalculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure VesselNeutron Fluence."Under NRCHQ2514D0002 task order NRCHQ2015T0014, the Brookhaven National Laboratory(BNL) has been assisting the NRC staff in reviewing Catawba's Measurement UncertaintyRecapture Fluence evaluation for Duke Energy Nuclear.1 The purpose of this modification is to add an additional task to the Work Requirements andSchedule section, which involves two site audits. Based on the review conducted thus far andthe findings to date, the NRC staff finds that a site audit will enable a more efficient and effectivereview, thereby improving the NRC staffs ability to fulfill our project goals2.0 OBJECTIVEThe objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise from BNL to assist the NRC staff indetermining the technical adequacy of the LAR submitted by Duke Energy for Catawba's MUR fluenceevaluation (section IV.1.C.ii) in order to address the fluence evaluation issue described above.3.0 SCOPE OF WORKBNL must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in thisstatement of work (SOW).The scope of work involves review and evaluation of the technical and regulatory basis for the use of theRAPTOR-M3G code developed by Westinghouse.. Review of the Code must show compliance withRegulatory Guide 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel NeutronFluence". BNL must provide input for the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation(SE) report that documents theNRC's technical, legal, and safety basis for approving the license amendment. The goal of the SE is toprovide the technical, safety, and legal basis for the NRC's decision regarding approving this code. Insupport of this goal, BNL will review the methodology and results described in the application for technicaladequacy and agreement with applicable NRC guidance. The Contractor will draft a Technical EvaluationReport (TER) describing their review and conclusions on the technical and regulatory adequacy ofRAPTOR-M3G code.. If portions of the code are not shown to be technically adequate to support theconclusions expressed in the application, or if portions of the code do not agree with NRC guidance, thenthe Contractor will identify these "gaps" in writing as a request for additional information (RAI) and providethem to the NRC technical point of contact and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The NRCtechnical point of contact and COR will coordinate issuing the RAI to the licensee to address the gapsand obtain responses. The BNL will review responses to the RAI and use those responses to finalize theTER.4.0 SPECIFIC TASKSBNL must-perform the following tasks:Using the criteria and guidelines found in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.190 and 1.99 as necessary to reviewthe acceptability of Catawba's MUR fluence evaluation (section IV.1.C.ii) within the LAR submitted byDuke Energy.Task I Kickoff Meeting1.a Preparation for Kickoff MeetingBecome familiar with the LAR submittal by Duke Energy.1.b Attend Kickoff Meeting2 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-offmeeting shall be held within ten (10) working days after BNL receipt of LAR materials.Task 2 Review LAR Submission2.a Evaluate the LAR SubmittalReview the LAR to determine the technical accuracy and regulatory compliance of the request.2.b Prepare Draft Technical Evaluation ReportPrepare a draft Technical Evaluation Report (TER) that incorporates the results of the review andevaluation. The TER should be organized to parallel the applicable sections in NRC's Standard ReviewPlan, 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 drafttext, tables, and illustrations, as appropriate, suitable for Inclusion in NRC's SER. The TER must providesufficient information to adequately support the NRC staff's rationale for why there is reasonableassurance 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 conclusionscited.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 RAtsIdentify 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 issuesraised during review of the LAR.As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with Duke Energy to discuss additionalinformation to be provided or clarified with the LAR.2.d Review RAI ResponsesReview Duke Energy's responses to the RAIs to determine whether they adequately resolve theoutstanding issues.2.e Audit at facilityPrepare for and travel to the licensee facility to audit the design documents supporting Catawba's LicenseAmendment Request Prepare a trip report.2.f Update the TERUpdate the draft TER prepared under Task 2.b to incorporate Duke Energy's RAJ responses and reviserelated portions of the draft text, tables, and illustrations in the TER. Prepare a final TER that Incorporatescomments provided by the COR.
As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with Duke Energy to discuss the responses of theRAls.6.0 DELIVERABLES ANDIOR MILESTONES SCHEDULEThe schedule for project deliverables Is shown In the following table.Deliverable Deliverable and Acceptance Criteria DeliverableNumber Due Date1 For Task 2.b, Draft TER NLT 4 weeksafter award ofAcceptance Criteria: Report must have the required content and task orderfollow the required format2 For Task 2.b, Final Draft TER NLT I weekafter receipt ofAcceptance Criteria: All COR comments are addressed in the TER.
