1.0 BACKGROUND
This project is in support of NROs Research Assistance Request, New and Advanced Reactor Standardized Plan Analysis of Risk Model Development, dated April 20, 2018, (ML18110A798). Prior to new plant operation, the NRC staff may need to perform risk assessments to confirm probabilistic (PRA) results provided in combined license (COL) submittals or to evaluate risk-informed applications after COL issuance. The industry has indicated that additional risk-informed applications (e.g., 10 CFR 50.69, T/S) may be submitted after COL issuance.
Once the plants begin operation, the results from licensee PRAs or independent assessments using SPAR models may be used by the NRC staff for the evaluation of operational findings and events similar to the assessments performed for current operating reactors. Since the SPAR models are based (as much as possible) on standardized assumptions and data, they can also be used to compare the effects of design differences.
2.0 OBJECTIVE The main objective of this work is to develop a design-specific all-hazards SPAR model for the Vogtle AP1000 reactor design, as specified by the project manager, based on the SAPHIRE software, version 8. As part of the SPAR model development, the requisite supporting documentation will also be included in the deliverable to NRO. Since design standardization is a key aspect of the new plants, this external event model will be based on the existing AP1000 IE SPAR model. Additional external events modules (i.e, internal fire, LPSD, seismic) could be included on this project as requested by the project manager.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK INL must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW).
INL shall complete all hazards modelling for the existing AP1000 SPAR model as instructed by the COR.
4.0 SPECIFIC TASKS The DOE Laboratory must perform the following tasks:
Sub Task 1 Development of AP1000 Vogtle plant specific SPAR model 1.1 Develop an internal events SPAR model for the Vogtle Units 3 & 4 Using the documented PRA provided by the utility, construct an internal events SPAR model for Vogtle Units 3 and 4 starting with the AP1000 internal events SPAR Model. The model shall be developed to the same standardization criteria of the existing models, to the extent practicable.
This includes model construct, event nomenclature, assumptions, preferred technical positions and other key aspects of the existing models to allow NRC staff the ease of use of the model.
1.2 Develop an AHZ SPAR model for Vogtle Units 3 & 4 Using the AP1000 AHZ model and the documented PRA provided by the utility, construct an AHZ SPAR model. The model shall include internal flooding, internal fire and seismic modelling. The model shall be developed to the same standardization criteria of the existing models, to the extent practicable. This includes model construct, event nomenclature, assumptions, preferred technical positions and other key aspects of the existing models to allow NRC staff the ease of use of the model.
The modelling activities shall be done in accordance with the SPAR -AHZ Model Makers Guidance and Volume 2 of the RASP Handbook.
1.3 Perform quality control and quality assurance reviews Monitor model development and perform quality reviews in accordance with the SPAR Model Quality Plan and the MMG.
1.4 Compare results of the SPAR model to results provided by the utility.
Compare the results of the new SPAR model to the results provided by the utility, using methods developed for the previous model comparisons.
1.5 Document the internal events model and the comparison of the results.
Document the model in the same format used for the existing SPAR model, to the extent practicable. Include in this documentation the results of the comparison between the SPAR model and the results provided by the vendor.
Sub Task 2 Provide Support to Other New Reactors SPAR Models 2.1 Review and finalize the AP1000 L2 and LPSD models to incorporate NROs review.
2.2 Perform model maintenance and updates of the SPAR models as requested by the by the COR.

Additionally, this activity requires a special understanding of how these modelling issues affect PRA quality. Site access will not be required to perform this activity.
The following INL personnel have been identified as key personnel:
7.0 MEETINGS AND TRAVEL Travel associated with this SOW is expected to be minimal, since attendance at most meetings will be via teleconference or video teleconference. A total of three (3) 1 person trips have been budgeted in anticipation of travel required in support of the work as described above. It is anticipated that one INL staff will attend each meeting and that each meeting typically lasts three days.
The laboratory may suggest or propose addition, deletion, or substitution of meetings and/or trips. For planning and budgeting purposes, potential meeting places are NRC Headquarters, Rockville, MD.
All travel requires written Government approval from the CO, unless otherwise delegated to the COR.
Foreign travel for the DOE laboratory personnel requires a 60-day lead time for NRC approval.
For prior approval of foreign travel, the DOE laboratory shall submit an NRC Form 445, Request for Approval of Official Foreign Travel. NRC Form 445 is available in the MD 11.7 Documents library and on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/. Foreign travel is approved by the NRC Executive Director for Operations (EDO).

14.0 STANDARDS FOR CONTRACTORS WHO PREPARE NUREG-SERIES MANUSCRIPTS The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) began to capture most of its official records electronically on January 1, 2000. The NRC will capture each final NUREG-series publication in its native application. Therefore, please submit your final manuscript that has been approved by your NRC Project Manager in both electronic and camera-ready copy.
The final manuscript shall be of archival quality and comply with the requirements of NRC Management Directive 3.7 NUREG-Series Publications. The document shall be technically edited consistent with NUREG-1379, Rev. 2 (May 2009) "NRC Editorial Style Guide." The goals of the "NRC Editorial Style Guide" are readability and consistency for all agency documents.
All format guidance, as specified in NUREG-0650, Preparing NUREG-Series Publications,"
Rev. 2 (January 1999), will remain the same with one exception. You will no longer be required to include the NUREG-series designator on the bottom of each page of the manuscript. The NRC will assign this designator when we send the camera-ready copy to the printer and will place the designator on the cover, title page, and spine. The designator for each report will no longer be assigned when the decision to prepare a publication is made. The NRC's Publishing Services Branch will inform the NRC Project Manager for the publication of the assigned designator when the final manuscript is sent to the printer.
For the electronic manuscript, the Contractor shall prepare the text in Microsoft Word, and use any of the following file types for charts, spreadsheets, and the like.
File Types to be Used for NUREG-Series Publications File Type File Extension MicrosoftWord .doc Microsoft PowerPoint .ppt MicrosoftExcel .xls MicrosoftAccess .mdb Portable Document Format .pdf This list is subject to change if new software packages come into common use at NRC or by our licensees or other stakeholders that participate in the electronic submission process. If a portion of your manuscript is from another source and you cannot obtain an acceptable electronic file type for this portion (e.g., an appendix from an old publication), the NRC can, if necessary, create a tagged image file format (file extension.tif) for that portion of your report.
Note that you should continue to submit original photographs, which will be scanned, since digitized photographs do not print well.
If you choose to publish a compact disk (CD) of your publication, place on the CD copies of the manuscript in both (1) a portable document format (PDF); (2) a Microsoft Word file format, and (3) an Adobe Acrobat Reader, or, alternatively, print instructions for obtaining a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader on the back cover insert of the jewel box.
