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 Federal Regulations,-Part 54 (10 CFR ýPart 54),

"Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses-for Nuclear Power Plants." In addition, IDLR uses guidance ;provided in NUREG-1800, "Standard -Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1 (SRP-LR), dated September2005 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 tothe DLR project team in reviewing and evaluating the operating license renewal application of Seabrook 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 ýby the applicant. The project team 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 orderfor 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 -projectteam 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 CFR54.21.

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:

-o 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 (RAls) and

.safety evaluation report (SER) input for'the audited items. Areas not audited will be.reviewed, RAls 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.
