The objective of this task order is toobtain technical expertise to assist the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff indetermining the technical adequacy of the license amendment request (LAR) submitted byNebraska Public Power District) to revise Cooper's Move Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)Limit from TRM to TS. This project falls under Section C.3.2, "Licensing Support," of the basecontract.2.0 BACKGROUND10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii)(B) Criterion 2 requires the inclusion in TS any process variable, designfeature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transientanalysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fissionproduct barrier. Prior to CNS cycle 23 the Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate(APLHGR) thermal limit in TS 3.2.1 was a composite limit of the Emergency Core CoolingSystem (ECCS) Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) limits and the thermal mechanical LHGRlimits used to protect the primary fission product barrier (cladding). This allowed the APLHGRTS to meet the requirements for monitoring the ECCS LOCA limits as well as the thermalmechanical limits of the cladding.2 Since the implementation of PANAC1 1 in cycle 23, the application of the APLHGR limits arebased solely on the ECCS criteria. Thermal mechanical limits are monitored independently withLHGR. Since the limits are now separate, both limits must reside in the TS and have a uniqueCondition for Operation (LCO) for each. LHGR is presently monitored and controlled per theTRM. This change is needed to allow the TS to comply with the Code of Federal Regulationswhich will be satisfied by the addition of TS 3.2.3, LHGR.This amendment is required to revise the CNS Operating License to add the definition forLHGR, add the LCO, Actions and Surveillance Requirements for LHGR, revise the RecirculationLoops Operating LCO, revise the Main Turbine Bypass System LCO and revise therequirements for the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).3.0 OBJECTIVEThe contractor must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverablesdescribed in this statement of work (SOW).The contractor must perform a review and evaluation of the technical and regulatory basis forthe LAR. The contractor must provide technical evaluation report (TER) that will be used asinput for the NRC staff's safety evaluation report (SER) that documents the NRC's technical,legal, and safety basis for approving the license amendment.4.0 SPECIFIC TASKSThe contractor must perform the following tasks:Task I Kickoff MeetingI. a *Preparation for-Kickoff MeetingBecome familiar with the LAR submittal by CNS.1. b Attend Kickoff MeetingAttend a one-time kick-off meeting (either in person or via conference call) to discuss the scopeof 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 contractor receipt of LARmaterials.Task 2 Review LAR Submission2. a Evaluate the LAR SubmittalUsing the criteria and guidelines found in Standard Review Plan (SRP), review the LARsubmitted by CNS to determine the technical accuracy and regulatory compliance of therequest.2. b Prepare Draft Technical Evaluation Report3 Prepare a draft Technical Evaluation Report (TER) that incorporates the results of the reviewand evaluation. The TER must be organized to parallel the applicable sections in NRC's SRP,Chapters 9. 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 mustcontain 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 staffs rationale forwhy there is reasonable assurance that public health and safety is protected. It must be writtenso that a person with either non-nuclear technical background or non-technical background canunderstand the basis for conclusions cited.Prepare final draft TER that incorporates comments provided by the Contracting Officer'sRepresentative (COR).As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with CNS to discuss the LAR materials.2. c Prepare Requests for Additional InformationIdentify unresolved issues and any additional or clarifying information needed in the LARsubmission. Prepare draft Request for Additional Information (RAIs) for use by NRC inrequesting more information from CNS to clarify issues raised during review of the LAR.Prepare final RAIs that incorporate comments provided by the COR.As directed by the COR, participate in conference calls with CNS to discuss additionalinformation to be provided or clarified with the LAR.2. d Review RAI Responses and Update TERReview CNS's responses to the RAIs to determine whether they adequately resolve theoutstanding issues.Update the draft TER prepared under Task 2.b to incorporate CNS's RAI responses and reviserelated portions of the draft text, tables, and illustrations in the TER.
