Section C - Description /Fpecifications/ Work Statement C.1 Statement of Work C.I.1 Background The results of this " Extended Fatigue Life Evaluation Methods for Aged LWR Components" project under the Small Business Innovation Research

, (SBIR) Program have potential benefit for judging whether aged l components have adequate margins to assure safety. However, the method i used to develop the improved fatigue design curves in SBIR Phase I is l very controversial. Specifically, there are questions as to whether the

! approach is applicable to cyclic plastic conditions in low cycle fatigue testing on standard tensile test specimens. Since this SBIR Phase II effort is considered as follow-on, these questions and other j comments must be resolved before new effort can begin. Therefore, Phase i.

II shall be accomplished in two tasks. Task 1 shall be the resolution of issues raised in Phase I. Task 2, an optional follow-on task based

on the results of Task I, shall be the development of modified fatigue design curves for various materials used in nuclear plants, including weldments.

r r

, i RS-RES-86-128 Page 3 C.1.2 Scope of Work TASK 1 - The Contractor shall:

A. Resolve the following NRC and other reviewer comments on Phase I results and submit resolutions with substantiation for position taken for peer and NRC comments.

Since the objective of this program is to develop improved fatigue design curves for use in estimating the remaining life of safety-related reactor plant components, there is general agreement that this effort should go forward. However, there are various concerns ranging from philosophical matters to questions about the accuracy of the analytical model. Therefore, it is necessary that these comments be resolved at an early stage so that subsequent effort will eventually result in an acceptable methodology for accomplishing the objective. The following comments are offered with this in mind.

Philosophical Comments

1. The evaluation of the remaining useful life of components should be conducted using the criteria and methodology of Section XI of the ASME B&PV Code rather than Section III.

2.Section III and Section XI of the B&PV Code address different phenomena and are not intended to be used together.

3. The methodology documented in the Phase I report is generally the same as that contained in Section XI except a shape factor has been included to account for the difference in crack specimen geometry.

4. This effort crosses boundaries that some feel do not exist; therefore, the results are controversial. Because of this, and because of the technical conunents, it is important that the Phase I-( report receive peer review.

Technical Comments

1. Pages 31 and 30, equations (11) and (5) - There is a fundamental question about the formulation of equation (11). The difference lies in the definition of J. Where J = J +J Although J is defined properly, J must be computed for th'e geofe.try, material *and

( crack geometry of iflterest.

2. Page 36, equation (15) - Since this equation results from manipulating equation (11), there is also concern about its

., accuracy. This comment is also made in light of the following: ,

a. the geometry factors for an edge -

cracked panel have been modified by the shape factor for a surface flaw in a flat plate.

l The geometry of interest is cylindrical and of relatively small diameter; therefore, the panel does not. appear to be a reasonable model.

' RS-RES-86-128 Page 4

b. the geometry factors for the panel specimen are restricted to a/w is less than 0.6 while the application of interest requires an expression valid for relatively deep cracks. Extrapolation of these curves requires justification.

c. the use of the flaw shape parameter for semi-elliptic surface flaws is not justified when analyzing cracks in the low-cycle fatigue specimens.

3. Page 23, second paragraph - In light of the preceding comments, the claim that the J- integral approach for the cyclic plastic conditions experienced in low-cycle fatigue testing, in fatigue crack propagation testing, and in operating nuclear power plant components, is on a sound theoretical basis is questionable.

4 Page 46 - The statement, "We conclude that experimental data on A533B demonstrates that J- integral is a valid geometry and size-independent correlation parameter for the elastic-plastic fatigue crack growth rates encountered in low-cycle fatigue specimens" is not supported by the evidence in the report. This is based on the fact that using methods and data developed from specimens and test data that are meaningful to predict the behavior of a specimen where the crack sizes are large compared to specimen size and where the loading can vary in an uncertain manner, does not seem realistic.

5. Page 49, equation (20) - This equation is for a surface crack in a semi-infinite body; therefore, there is a question whether the equation is appropriate for use in low-cycle fatigue specimens. The -

rationalization that the solution must be appropriate since the data in Figure 23 seems consistent with the long-crack data is not entirely persuasive. There are too many examples where the data still seem to exhibit the " hooked" behavior associated with the "short crack" problem.

6. Section 12, page 64 - There is concern that aggressive environments have an effect on reducing the cycles to initiation in the long-life regime as well as accelerating the subsequent crack 6 growth.

Therefore, the proposed shift in the long-life (10 5 - 10 cycles) regime is not as great as might be needed. In light of this, there may be more operation cycles in the low stress region than in the high stress region.

B. Revise Phase I methodology reflecting changes resulting from resolution of NRC and peer coments.

., C. Develop new curves for A106 material using revised methodology.

D. Submit a proposal for the Task 2 part of the Phase II effort.

AUTHORITY: Sec. 8, Pub. L.95-601, adding Sec.170A to Pub. L.83-703, 68 Stat. 919, as amended (42 U.S.C. ch.14) 520-1.5401 Scope and Policy (a) It is the policy of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to avoid, eliminate or neutralize contractor organizational conflicts of interest. The NRC achieves this objective by requiring all prospective contractors to submit information describing relationships, if any, with organizations or persons (including those regulated by NRC) which may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest in the event of contract award.

(b) Contractor conflict of interest determinations cannot be made automatically or routinely; the application of sound judgment on virtually a case-by-case basis is necessary if the policy is to be applied so as to satisfy the overall public interest. It is not possible to prescribe in advance a specific method or set of criteria which would serve to identify and resolve all of the contractor conflict of interest situations which might arise; however, examples are provided in these regulations to guide application of the policy. NRC contracting and program officials must be alert to other situations which may warrant application of this policy guidance. The ultimate test is: Might the contractor, if awarded the contract, be placed in a position where its judgment may be biased,,

or where it may have an unfair competitive advantage?

(c) The conflict of interest rule contained in this subpart applies tar contractors and offerors only. Individuals or firms who have other g relatrionships with NRC (e.g., parties to a licensing proceeding) are not covered by this regulation. This rule does not apply to the acquisition of consulting services through the personnel appointment process, NRC

• l 7590-01 agreements with other government agencies, international organizations.

. or state, local or . foreign governments; separate procedures for avoiding conflicts of interest will be employed in such agreements, as appropriate.

520 ,1.5402 Definitions .

-(a) " Organizational conflicts of interest" means that a relationship exists whereby a contractor or prospective contractor has present or planned interests related to the work to be performed under an NRC contract which: (1) May diminish its capacity to give impartial, technically sound, objective assistance and advice or may otherwise result in a ~

biased work product, or (2) may result in its being given an unfair -

competitive advantage.

(b) "Research" means any scientific or technical work involving theoretical analysis, exploration, or experimentation.

(c)

• Evaluation activities" means any effort involving the appraisal of a technology, process, product, or policy.

(d) " Technical consulting and management support services" means internal assistance to a component of the NRC in the formulation or administration of.its programs, projects, or policies which normally require the contractor to be given access to information which has not been made available to the public or proprietary information. Such services typically include assistance in the preparation of program plans; arid preparation of preliminary designs, specifications, or statements of work. -

(e') " Contract" means any contract, agreement, or other arrangement with the NRC except as provided in Section 20-1.5401(c).

(f) " Contractor" means any person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, co-sponstor, partnership, corporation, affiliates thereof, or their successors in interest, including their chief executives, directors, key personnel (identified in the contract), proposed consultants or subcontractors, which is a party to a contract with the NRC.

(g) " Affiliates" means business concerns which are affiliates of '

each other when either directly or indirectly one concern or individual controls or has the power to control another, or when a third party controls or has the power to control both (41 CFR 51-1.606-1(e)).

.(h)' " Subcontractor" means any subcontractor of any tier which performs work under a contract with the NRC except subcontracts for supplies and subcontracts in amounts of $10,000 or less.

(i) " Prospective contractor" or " offeror" means any person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, partnership, corporation, or affiliates thereof, including its chief executive, directors, key personnel (identified in the proposal), proposed consultants, or subcontractors, submitting a bid or proposal, solicited or unsolicited, to the NRC to obtain a contract. -

_2

7590-01 (j) " Potential conflict of interest" means that a factual situation exists that suggests (indicates) that an actual conflict of interest may

-arise from award of a proposed contract. The term " potential conflict of interest" is used to signify those situations which merit investigation prior to contract award in order to ascertain whether award would give rise to an actual conflict or which must be reported to the contracting officer fo* investigation if they arise during contract performance.

520-1.5403 Criteria for recognizing contractor organizational conflicts of interest (a) General. Two questions fill be asked in detennining whether actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest exist: (1) Are there conflicting roles which might bias a contractor's judgment in relation to its work for the NRC? (2) May the contractor be given an unfair competitive advantage based on the performance of the contract?

The ultimate determination by NRC as to whether organizational conflicts of interest exist will be made in light of connon sense and good business judgment based upon the relevant facts disclosed and the work to be performed. While it is difficult to identify and to prescribe in advance a specific methcd for avoiding all of the various situations or relationships which might involve potential organizational conflicts of interest, NRC personnel will pay particular attention to proposed contractual requirements which call for the rendering of advice, consultation or evaluation activities, or similar activities that lay direct groundwork for the NRC's decisions on regulatory activities, future procurements, and research programs.

(b) Situations or relationships which may give rise to organizational conflicts of interest. (1) The offeror or contractor shall disclose information concerning relationships which may give rise to organizational conflicts of interest under the following circumstances:

(i) Where the offeror or contractor provides advice and recommendations to the NRC in a technical area in which it is also providing consulting assistance in the same arec to any organization regulated by the NRC.

(ii) Where the offeror or contractor provides advice to the NRC on the same or similar matter in which it is also providing assistance to any organization regulated by the NRC.

(iii) Where the offeror or contractor evaluates its own products or services, or the products or services of another entity where the offeror or contractor has been substantially involved in their development or marketing.

(iv) Where the award of a contract would otherwise result in placing the offeror or contractor in a conflicting role in which its judgment may be biased in relation to its work for the NRC or may otherwise result in an unfair competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor.

7590 [ '

(2) The contracting officer may request specific information from an offeror or contractor or may require special contract provisions such as provided in 520-1.5405-2 in the following circumstances:

(1) Where the offeror or contractor prepares specifications which

! are to be used in competitive procurements of products or services covered by such specifications.

(ii) Where the offeror or contractor prepares plans for specific approaches or methodologies that are to be-incorporated into competitive procurements using such approaches or methodologies.

i (iii) Where the offeror or contractor is granted access to information not available to the public concerning NRC plans, policies, or programs which could form the basis for a later procurement action.

(iv) Where the offeror or contractor is granted access to proprietary information of its competitors.

(v) Where the award of a contract might otherwise result in placing the offeror or contractor in a conflicting role in which its judgment i may be biased in relation to its work for the NRC or may otherwise j result in an unfair competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor.

(c) Policy application guidance. The following examples are illustrative only and are not intended to identify and resolve all contractor organizational conflict of interest situations. (1) Example.

The XYZ Corp., in response to a request for proposal (RFP), proposes to 4 . undertake certain analyses of a reactor component as called for in the RFP. The XYZ Corp. is one of several companies considered to be technically well qualified. In response to the inquiry in the RFP, the XYZ Corp.

advises that it is currently performing similar analyses for the reactor manufacturer.

Guidance. An NRC contract for that particular work normally would not be awarded to the XYZ Corp. because it would be placed in a position in which its judgment could be biased in relationship to its work for NRC. Since there are other well-qualified companies available, there would be no reason for considering a waiver of the policy.

(2) Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a RFP, proposes to perform certain analyses of a reactor component which are unique to one j

type of advanced reactor. As is the case with other technically qualified companies responding to the RFP, the ABC Corp. is performing various projects for several different utility clients. None of the ABC Corp.

projects have any relationship to the work called for in the RFP. Based on the NRC evaluation, the ABC Corp. is considered to be the best qualified company to perform the work outlined in the RFP. -

i

---,,y-, - , ,- y., p-.- ,,e -,.w..-..-,v.,,.7-----.-e-. -,-,.-.,_-,.,.,,.~.,---.-~-----.---n-- -

7590-01 Guidance. An NRC contract normally could be awarded to the ABC Corp. because no conflict of interest exists which would motivate bias with respect to the work. An appropriate clause would be included in the contract to preclude the ABC Corp. from subsequently contracting for work during the performance of the NRC contract with the private sector which could create a conflict. For example, ABC Corp. would be precluded from the performance of similar work for the company developing the advanced reactor mentioned in the example.

(3) Example. As a result of operating problems in a certain type of comercial nuclear facility, it is imperctive that NRC secure specific data on various operational aspects of that type of plant so as to assure adequate safety protection of the public. Only one manufacturer has extensive experience with that type of plant. Consequently, that company is the only one with whom NRC can contract which can develop and conduct the testing programs required to obtain the data in reasonable time. That company has a definite interest in any NRC decisions that might result from the data produced because those decisions affect the reactor's design and thus the company's costs.

Guidance. This situation would place the manufacturer in a role in which its judgment could be biased in relationship to its work for NRC.

Since the nature of the work required is vitally important in terms of

. NRC's responsibilities and no reasonable alternative exists, a waiver of the policy may be warranted. Any such waiver shall be fully documented and coordinated in accordance with the waiver provisions of this policy with particular attention to the establishment of protective mechanisms to guard against bias.

(4) Example. The ABC Co. submits a proposal for a new system for evaluating a specific reactor component's performance for the purpose of developing standards that are important to the NRC program. The ABC Co.

has advised NRC that it intends to sell the new system to industry once its practicability has been demonstrated. Other companies in this business are using older systems for evaluation of the specific reactor component.

Guidance. A contract could be awarded to the ABC Co. provided that the contract stipulates that no information produced under the contract will be used in the contractor's private activities unless such information has been reported to NRC. Information which is reported to NRC by contractors will normally be disseminated by NRC to others so as to preclude an unfair competitive advantage that might otherwise accrue. When NRC furnishes information to the contractor for the perfonnance of contract work, it shtll not be used in the contractor's private activities unless such information is generally available to others. Further, the contract will stipulate that the contractor will inform the NRC contracting officer of all situations in which the infonnation developed under the contract ir proposed to be used.

L _ _ _ _

o .

7590-01 (5) Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a RFP proposes t')

assemble a map showing certain seismological features of the Appalachian fold belt. In accordance with the representation in the RFP and

$20-1.5403(b)(1)(1), ABC Corp. informs the NRC that it is presently doing seismological studies for several utilities in the Eastern United States but none of the sites are within the geographic area contemplated by the NRC study.

Guidance. The contracting officer would normally conclude that award of a contract would not place ABC Corp. in a conflicting role where its judgment might be biased. The work for others clause of 520-1.5405-1(c) would preclude ABC Corp. from accepting work during the term of the NRC contract which could create a conflict of interest.

(d) Other considerations. (1) The fact that the NRC can identify and later avoid, eliminate, or neutralize any potential organizational conflicts arising from the performance of a contract is not relevant to a determination of the existence of such conflicts prior to the award of a contract.

(2) It is not relevant that the contractor has the professional reputation of being able to resist temptations <.hich arise from organizational conflicts of interest, or that a follow-on procurement is not involved, or that a contract is awarded on a competitive er a sole source basi.3.

520-1.5404 Representation (a) The following procedures are designed to assist the NRC contracting officer in determining whether situations or relationships exist which may constitute organizational conflicts of interest with respect to a particular offeror or contractor.

(b) Representation procedure. The following organizational conflicts of interest representation provision shall be included in all solicitations and unsolicited proposals for: ~ (1) Evaluation services or activities; (2) technical consulting and management support services; (3) research; and (4) other contractual situations where special organizational conflicts of interest provisions are noted in the solicitation and would be included in tne resulting contract. This representation requirement shall also apply to all modifications for additional effort under the contract except those issued under the " changes" clause. Where, however, a statement of the type required by the organizational conflicts of interest representation provision has previously been submitted with regard to the contract being modified, only an updating of such statement shall be required.

7590-01 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST REPRESENTATION I represent to the best of my knowledge and belief that:

The award to of a contract or the modification of an existing contract does ( ) or does not ( ) involve situations or rclationships

, of the type set forth in 41 CFR 520-1.5403(b)(1).

(c) Instructions to offerors. The following shall be included in all NRC solicitations: (1) If the representation as completed indicates that situations or relationships of the type set forth in 41 CFR l

520-1.5403(b)(1) are involved, or the contracting officer otherwise determines that potential organizational conflicts exist, the offeror shall provide a statement in writing which describes in a concise manner all relevant facts bearing on his representation to the contracting officer. If the contracting officer determines that organizational conflicts exist, the following actions may be taken: (1)Imposeappropriate conditions which avoid such conflicts, (ii) disqualify the offeror, or (iii) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to seek award of the contract under the waiver provisions of 5 20-1.5411.

f (2) The refusal to provide the representation required by 5 20-1.5404(b) or upon request of the contracting officer the facts required by ~520-1.5404(c), shall result in disqualification of the offeror for award. The nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest may also result in the disqualification of the offeror for award; or if such nondisclosure or misrepresentation is discovered after award, the resulting contract may be terminated. The offeror may also be disqualified from subsequent related NRC contracts and be subject to such other remedial actions provided by law or the resulting contract.

(d) The offeror may, because of actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work from the statements of work contained in a RFP unless the RFP specifically prohibits such exclusion. Any such proposed exclusion by an offeror will be considered by the NRC in the evaluation of proposals. If the NRC considers the proposed excluded work to be an essential or integral part of the required work and its exclusion would work to the detriment of the competitive posture of the other offerors, the proposal must be rejected as unacceptable.

(e) The offeror's failure to execute the representation required by subsection (b) above with respect to invitation for bids will be considered to be a minor informality, and the offeror will be permitted -

to correct the omission.

5 20-1.5405 Contract clauses 5 20-1.5405-1 General contract clause 7590-01 All contracts of the types set forth in 520-1.5404(b) shall include the following clauses:

The contractor shall ensure that all employees who are employed full time under this contract and employees designated as key personnel, if any, under this contract abide by the provision of this clause. If the contractor believes with respect to itself or any such employee that any proposed consultant or other contractual arrangement with any firm or organization may involve a potential conflict of interest, the contractor shall obtain the written approval of the contracting officer prior to execution of such contractual arrangement.

l (d) Disclosure after award. (1) The contractor warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief and except as othemise set forth in this contract, it does not have any organizational conflicts of interest, as defined in 41 CFR 520-1.5402(a).

(2) The contractor agrecs that if after . award it discovers organizational I conflicts of interest with respect to this contract, it shall make an imediate and full disclosure in writing to the contracting officer.

This statement shall include a description of the action which the contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. The NRC may, however, tenninate the contract for convenience if it deems such termination to be in the best interests of the government.

, (e) Access to and use of information. (1) If the contractor in l the performance of this contract obtains access to information, such as l NRC plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, internal data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub.

520-1.5408 (Reserved) 520-1.5409 (Reserved) 520-1.5410 Subcontracts The contracting officer shall require offerors and contractors to submit a representation statement in accordance with 520-1.5404(b) from subcontractors and consultants. The contracting officer shall require the contractor to include contract clauses in accordance with 520-1.5405 in consultant agreements or subcontracts involving performance of work under a prime contract covered by this subsection.

5 20-1.5411 Waiver In the first instance, determination with respect to the need to seek a waiver for specific contract awards shall be made by the contracting officer with the advice and concurrence of the program office director and the Office of Executive Legal Director. Upon the recommendation of the contracting officer, and after consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, the EDO may waive the policy in specific cases if he determines that it is in the best interest of the United States to do 50.

Such action shall be strictly limited to those situations in which:

(1) The work to be performed under contract is vital to the NRC program; (2) the work cannot be satisfactorily performed except by a contractor whose interests give rise to a question of conflict of interest; and (3) contractual and/or technical review and supervision methods can be employed by NRC to neutralize the conflict. For any such waivers, the justification and approval documents shall be placed in the Public Document Room.

7590-01 520-1.5412 Remedies In addition to such other remedies as may be permitted by law or contract for a breach of the restrictions in this subpart or for any intenticnal misrepresentation or intentional nondisclosure of any relevant interest required to be provided for this section, the NRC may debar the contractor from subsequent NRC contracts.

j PART1 PREPARATION OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT PORTIONS OF STATEMENTS OF WORK FOR CONTRACTS, GRANTS AND STANDARD ORDERS FOR DOE WORK f A. LIST OF TECHNICAL REPORT REQUIREMENTS List the technical reports required from each project, task or subtask, as applicable. State when and to whom they should be submitted and j' what they should contain. These reports may be unclassified, sensitive unclassified or classified. Standards for each of these categories _ are presented in Parts II through V. The following definitions describe the i

types of reports that may be specified:

technical reports - information on the technical aspects of contract work. These may be interim or final technical letter reports, draft or final formal technical reports for publication in the NUREG/CR or

• 4 NUREG/CP series , or draft or final material for inclusion in SERs or ESs (see definitions below).

technical letter reports (also called technical evaluation reports) -

interim or final letters that provide information on the technical aspects of the contract work. Interim technical letter reports may be required at various stages of a project. These interim letters usually are followed by a final technical letter report or a formal technical report. Final technical letter reports are usually specified

! in situations where the technical work is review and evaluation of work of others or work to be used by the staff in the licensing

, and regulation process. Interim letter reports may include, but are not limited to, informal (interim) progress reports, quick-look 4

reports, data reports, status summary reports, project descriptions, pre-test predictions , model verifications, experiment safety anal-yses, experiment operating procedures , facility certification

! reports, and test result reports. These reports must be identified with the financial number (FIN) assigned to the project. They are not to be identified with DOE registered report codes. The num-ber of copies to be prepared and the distribution of those copies will be specified by the project manager.

formal technical reports - the final product of research, an original investigation, or a significant compilation of information. This pro-duct is a formal technical report for publication in the NUREG/CR or

] NUREG/CP series. For extensive long-term projects, formal monthly, j '

quarterly or semiannual and annual periodic technical reports may be required. A draft of the final or periodic report may be requested i for comment prior to preparation of the camera-ready copy.

. o PUBLICATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS PREPARED BY NRC Appendix 3202 NRC CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING REPORTS PREPARED Part I UNDER OR PURSUANT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS draft or final material for publication or inclusion in SERs. ESs, letters, or license amendments - written material requested for use in the NRC licensing process. Such material may be (1) abstracted in a NUREG report or attached to a NUREG report, (2) attached to a letter or an amendment to the license, or (3) abstracted 'a nd used as necessary by the NRC staff. NRC requires patent review and full management review of this material by the performing organiza-tion . This material is to be submitted to NRC as a technical letter report addressed to the project manager and identified by the FIN number.

For purposes of this Part, contractor means a private contractor, con-sultant, grantee, another State or Federal Agency working under an interagency agreement , or a DOE / facility or National Laboratory (con-tractor) and subcontractors.

B. REQUIREMENTS FOR FORMAL REPORTS If the contractor is to prepare a final formal technical report for publi-cation, state that it will be printed and distributed by NRC from camera-ready copy submitted by the contractor, unless the work is being done for the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research by a DOE facility or Laboratory with a JCP-authorized printing plant. The camera-ready copy is to be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this appen-dix, Parts II and V (for contractors other than DOE contractors). or Parts IV and V of this appendix and Chapter 1102 (for DOE contrac-tors ) . A style guide is also available free, upon request (NUREG-0650). If the report is to be printed by NRC and it is unclassified, the a camera-ready copy is to be submitted by the contractor to the Director, Division of TechnicalInformation and Document Control, NRC, Washington, D.C. 20555, by first class mail. For handling of sensitive unclassified and classified reports 'see Part V of this appendix and NRC Appendix 2101.

Unclassified reports printed for the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research should be handled in accordance with Parts IV and V of this appendix and/or Chapter 1102.

C. REQUIREMENTS FOR DRAFT REPORTS l If a draft is desired prior to completion of a final technical letter report.

l formal technical report, final material for inclusion in an SER or ES, or for comment by participants in cooperative programs with foreign gov-ernments and organizations and with U.S. industry, state that require-ment and the time frams for delivering the final camera-ready copy after receiving NRC and/or participant comments on the draft. State that all draft material should be submitted to the cognizant project manager.

When the contractor is to submit draf t material for comment prior to the preparation of the final report, state that if there are NRC program and/or participant comments the contractor will be asked to make changes.

If agreement on the changes is reached, the NRC manager will authorize the contractor to prepare the final copy and submit it to the project manager, if it is a letter report or input to an SER or ES, or to the Director, Division of Technical Information and Document Control, if it is Approved: August 29, 1984 2

PUBLICATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS PREPARED BY NRC CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING REPORTS PREPARED NRC Appendix 3202 UNDER OR PURSUANT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS Part I camera-ready copy for printing and distribution. This is to be done to assure proper publication, handling, and distribution and, among other things, to preclude further changes that might nullify the agreement. If caveats were agreed to and the project manager wishes to check the final document for their presence, he/she should inform TIDC of that desire.

In that case, upon receipt of the camera-ready copy by TIDC,.the project manager will be informed and requested to prepare and sign the NRC Form 426A.

Also state that if agreement on changes to a formal technical report to be issued in the NUREG/CR series is not reached, the NRC project manager may request the contractor to prepare the camera-ready copy with, in addition to the standard disclaimer required on all contractor formal reports (see Exhibit 6), any caveats deemed necessary to cover NRC objections. Such caveats may range from the "The views expressed in this report are not necessarily those of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission" to the addition of a preface setting forth the NRC opinion or footnotes at appropriate locations within the text.

State that if NRC objections cannot be covered in this manner, NRC can refuse to publish the report. In the case of DOE / National Laboratory reports, the DOE Operations Office Manager responsible for that labora-tory should be informed by the NRC Office Director or Regional Adminis-trator of the decision and the reasons therefor, with a copy to the Laboratory Director. In the case of another Federal agency, a State, or a private contractor, the person who executed the contract should simi-larly be informed by the NRC Contracting Officer. The contractor is then free to publish without NRC identification of the report. Project manager or higher level decisions may be appealed to the NRC Executive Director for Operations.

D. PUBLISHING UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN OPEN LITERATURE AND PRESENTING PAPERS If the contractor's principal investigator is to be allowed to publish in the open literature instead of submitting a final report and/or present papers at public or association meetings during the course of the work, add the following statement to the Statement of Work:

The principal investigator (s) may publish the results of this work in the open literature instead of submitting a final report and/or present papers at public or association meetings at interim stages of the work.

If the project manager wants to review the paper or journal article prior to presentation or submission for publication, state this in the Statement of Work, as follows:

The principal investigator (s) may publish the results of this work in i the open literature instead of submitting a final report and/or pre-sent papers at public or association meetings at interim stages of the work, if the article or paper has been reviewed by the NRC project 3 Approved: August 29, 1984

The applicable procedures set forth in Chapters NRC-3206 or i NRC-1102 must be fouowed.

If agreement is not reached, NRC may also ask that the paper include in addition to the standard statement " Work supported by the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission," any caveats deemed necessary to cover NRC objections. If NRC objections cannot be covered in this

~

manner, NRC can refuse to authorize publication in the open litera-ture and/or presentation of papers.

[ In the latter case, NRC will inform the contractor of the decision, as

{ stated above for formal reports (see Section C, paragraphs 3 and 4).

4 The contractor is then free to publish without NRC identification of the information. This will not affect payment of the contract work costs.

l Project manager or higher level decisions may be appealed to the NRC

Executive Director for Operations.

1

If the contractor proposes to publish in the open literature or present the information at meetings in addition to submitting the required tech-nical reports, approval of the proposed article or presentation should be obtained from the NRC project manager. The NRC project manager shall either approve the material as submitted, approve it subject to NRC-

! suggested revisions, or disapprove it. In any event, a project manager j may disapprove or delay presentation or publication of papers on infor-mation that is subject to Commissioner approval that has not been ruled l upon or which has been disapproved.

i (See Chapter 3206 for provisions relating to payment of page charges and j travel costs for presentation of papers.)

I E. TYPOGRAPHY

[ The text of reports must be single spaced on 8\ x 11-in. paper, unless j otherwise specifically authorized. Occasionally, reports with many sym-3 bols and mathematical expressions may require one and one-half spacing to provide for superscripts and subscripts. This spacing should be

.' allowed where needed, but should be considered an exception, not the

] standard.

F. REPORTS CONTAINING SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED AND CLASSIFIED j INFORMATION j Details of the marking of reports designated Official Use Only Limited 2

I. DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS TO CONTRACTORS Up to 50 copies of unclassified formal technical reports may be retained by or will be bulk shipped to the contractor by NRC fcr internal use.

If fewer than 50 copies are needed, indicate the desired quantity on NRC Form 426A. Single copies for specific individuals in organizations other than the contractor's organization who are not included in the distribution requested by the NRC project manager may be requested on a project basis or on a report-by-report basis. The request, with written justifi-cation, should be addressed to the NRC project manager, with a copy to NRC/TIDC. If the additional distribution is approved by the NRC project manager, the contractor shall send these copies (if printing is done by the contractor) and address labels, even if printing is done by NRC, to NRC/TIDC, where the distribution will be made along with the standard distribution. Distribution of sensitive unclassified and classi-fled reports will be made by the project manager on a case-by-case basis.

J. COORDINATION OF FRESS OR OTHER MEDIA RELEASES OF UNCLASSi-FIED INFORMATION A contractor may request permission to issue a press or other media release on the work being done. Such request shall be made to the project manager, who will consult with his/her management and with the Office of Public Affairs. The contractor may not issue a press release on nonroutine information without this prior coordination. This coordination may be accomplished by telephone, with the NRC project manager respon-sible for expeditious handling. Decisions not to release information or delays in handling by the project manager may be appealed to the NRC Executive Director for Operations.

8. Bibliographic Data Sheet NRC Form 335 (Exhibit 7) shall be prepared and included in the camera-ready copy as the final right-hand page.

B. PATENT AND SECURITY REVIEWS

1. Patent Review Patent implications shall be considered prior to approval of reports for public release so that disclosure will not adversely affect the patent rights of NRC or the contractor. If the work being reported is contractually managed through another government agency (e.g. ,

DOE laboratories), that government agency should be requested by the contractor to perform the patent review. The result of such review shall be reported on NRC Form 426A in item 11 (Exhibit 5).

If NRC directly administers the contract or the contractor is unable -

to obtain a patent clearance from the government agency administer-

ing the contract, the responsible NRC contracting officer shall be l consulted, and the responsible NRC project manager shall consider

the patent implications . If there is no need for patent review

because of the certainty that the report contains no description of i novel technical developments which may be of an inventive nature,

, NRC Form 426A may be completed with the statement "Not Appil-cable" or "N/A" in the space for the Patent Counsel's signature. If

. there is a possibility that there is disclosure of developments of an I inventive nature, the contracting officer shall request assistance i from the NRC Patent Counsel, Office of the Executive Legal Director.

2. Security Review I In most cases, contractor reports will be unclassified. Should a report of sensitive unclassified or classified work be required,

however, the NRC project manager must work with the NRC I Division of Security to establish the appropriate procedures and i inform the contractor of such procedures through the contracting officer. The standards for marking and handling such reports are given in Part V of this appendix and NRC Appendix 2101.

PART III UNCLASSIFIED TECHNICAL LETTER REPORTS A. FORMAT

1. Applicability

a. The requirements of this part apply t'o unclassified contractor technical letter reports. (See Part I. A for definition.)

, b. The requirements of this part do not apply to consultants and contractors to the NRC boards, panels, and advisory commit-tees which report directly to the Commission.

! 2. Requirements Technical letter reports are prepared, duplicated and distributed in accordance with the requirements of the Statement of Work in the contract or in the Standard Order for DOE Work. Each such report must be identified with the financial number (FIN) assigned to the project. The number of copies to be prepared and the distribution

' of those copies will be specified by the project manager. If unclas-sified and non-sensitive, the NRC project manager is responsible for making such reports available in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) by sending them to the PDR through the NRC Document Control System.

B. PATENT AND SECURITY REVIEWS

1. Patent Review Patent implications shall be considered prior to approval of reports for public release so that disclosure will not adversely affect the patent rights of NRC. If the work being reported is contractually l managed through another government agency (e.g. , DOE labora-tories), that government agency should be requested by the con-tractor to perform the patent review.

! If NRC directly administers the contract or the contractor is unable to obtain a patent clearance from the government agency administer-ing the contract, the responsible NRC contracting officer shall be

consulted, and the responsible NRC project manager shall consider 2 the patent implications.

If there is a possibility that there is disclosure of developments of

an inventive nature, the NRC contracting officer shall request assistance from the NRC Patent Counsel, Office of the Executive Legal Director.

2. Security Review In most cases, contractor technical letter reports will be unclassi-fied. Should a report of sensitive unclassified or classified work be required, however, the project manager must work with the Division of Security to establish the appropriate security procedures and inform the contractor of such procedures. The standards for marking and handling such reports are given in Part V of this appendix and NRC Appendix 2101.

APPLICABILITY These procedures and exhibits of this part apply to sensitive unclassi-fied and classified reports prepared by NRC contractors. These reports include those designated:

Official Use Only Limited Official Use Proprietary Information Safeguards Information Confidential Secret Top Secret Only sufficient information is presented here to aid in the preparation of the properly marked covers, title pages, back covers, and text pages.

Details of the NRC Security Program and specific provisions for deter-mining when to use the markings exhibited are contained in NRC Appendix 2101.

The reports covered are defined as sensitive unclassified or classified.

Sensitive unclassified information refers to information designated Official Use Only , Limited Official Use, and Proprietary Information .

Sensitive unclassified information also includes Safeguards Information that must be protected from unauthorized disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 73.21 and Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, information withheld from public dissemination under the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act, and information not to be exported to or disclosed to foreign countries.

Classified information as used in this part includes Restricted Data ,

Formerly Restricted Data or National Security Information that requires protection in one of the three classification categories described in Executive O.rder 12356: Top Secret, Secret or Confidential.

The uses of each of the sensitive unclassified and classified categories and the markings required on reports are discussed and exhibited in the

( following sections. All sensitive unclassified and classified reports are to be sent directly to the project manager.

PUBLICATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS PREPARED BY NRC Appendix 3202 NRC CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING REPORTS PREPARED Part V UNDER OR PURSUANT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS essential to ensure proper handling. Reports designated Official Use Only will contain only unclassified information originated by or furnished to an NRC contractor which is to be withheld from public disclosure. The report on which the marking appears must be reviewed at the time a request for release is received to determine its releasability. The Official Use Only marking is notice of the originator's determination of th.e applica-bility of an exemption under the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act or both at the time of origination.

Official Use Only NRC contractor reports shall be marked as shown in Exhibits 8 through 10.

Limited Official Use information is information originated by the U.S.

Department of State. A report originated by an NRC contractor that contains Limited Official Use information shall be marked as shown in Exhibits 11 through 13.

Procedures for reproducing, transmitting, protecting, and handling reports containing Official Use Only and Limited Official Use information and removing such reports from those categories are detailed in NRC Appendix 2101.

C. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Proprietary information is a specific type of Official Use Only informa-tion . Proprietary information includes:

1. trade secrets.

2. privileged or confidential research, development, commercial or financial information exempt from mandatory disclosure under 10 CFR Part 2, " Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceed-ings," Sections 2.740 and 2.790 and under 10 CFR Part 9, "Public Records," Section 9.5, " Exemptions."

3. information submitted in confidence to NRC by a foreign source,

which has been determined by NRC to be unclassified.

Unclassified NRC contractor reports containing proprietary information shall be marked as shown in Exhibits 14 through 18. In each instance, the optional wording that describes the material being presented should be selected.

If a report contains both Official Use Only information and proprietary information , the front cover shall be marked as proprietary information and may also be marked as Official Use Only information, if necessary.

Pages in the report that contain proprietary information may be marMd accordingly , including, marginal or other indicators of the specific wording that is proprietary. Similarily, the pages that contain Official Use Only information without proprietary information may be marked Official Use Only Approved: August 29, 1984 30

PUBLICATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS PREPARED BY NRC CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING REPORTS PREPARED NRC Appendix 3202 UNDER OR PURSUANT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS Part V Procedures for reproducing, transmitting, protecting and handling pro-prietary information reports and removing them from the proprietary information category are detailed in NRC Appendix 2101. A cover sheet (Exhibit 19) is to be placed on each hard copy of a report containing proprietary information. .

D. SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION Safeguards information may be of three types: (1) classified informa-tion , which is marked and handled as indicated in Section E, (2) un-classified information restricted under Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act, which is marked and handled as described in this Section, and (3) unclassified information, which is publicly available and handled as indicated in Parts I through IV.

The safeguards information that is to be protected as described here is unclassified information used in a report which specifically identifies certain licensee's or applicant's detailed:

1. security measures for the physical protection of special nuclear material

2. security measures for the physical protection and location of certain plant equipment vital to the safety of production or utilization facilities .

Unclassified NRC contractor reports containing safeguards information that is to be protected shall be marked as shown in Exhibits 20 through 22.

Procedures for reproducing, transmitting, protecting, and handling safe-guards information reports and removing them from the safeguards information category are detailed in NRC Appendix 2101. A cover sheet (Exhibit 23) is to be placed on each hard copy of a report containing safeguards information.

E. CLASSIFIED INFORMATION Classified information is limited to Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data and National Security Information . The procedures for making classification determinations and for marking, reproducing, transmitting, protecting, and handling reports containing classified information and removing such reports from classified categories are detailed in NRC Appendix 2101. These procedures are too complex for summarizing here.

Classification determinations regarding NRC information may be made solely by authorized classifiers designated by NRC or DOE. Authorized classifiers are responsible for insuring that reports they determine to be classified are marked and protected in accordance with the provisions

'of NRC Appendix 2101.

PUBLICATION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS PREPARED BY NRC CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING REPORTS PREPARED UNDER OR PURSUANT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS NRC Appendix 3202 PART VI HANDLING OF UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON NRC COOPEftATIVE PROGRAMS WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND WITH U.S. INDUSTRY The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has requested that its Program Offices establish, to the extent feasible, cooperative nuclear safety research programs that involve either or both U.S. industry and foreign governments and orga-nizations. Such involvement includes monetary contributions , information exchange, and comments on program plans and results. This is authorized in 42 U.S.C. 5801. To this end, international and U.S. industry agreements have been signed that provide for transmitting unclassified information from NRC to participants. These procedures apply only to NRC-managed work not programatically funded by DOE.

The interests of all NRC cooperative nuclear safety research program partici-pants are served best by early, rapid dissemination for comment of informa-tion on these programs developed for NRC by NRC contractors. This can be accomplished by distribution of " Draft Preliminary Reports (or Codes)" for comment for a specified period of time, followed by issue as formal NUREG/CR reports , with the concurrence of the participants. Specific procedures for accomplishing these goals and for transmitting information prepared by the NRC and DOE facilities and contractors and their subcontractors working on these programs are presented in the following sections. The procedures de-tailed here have been agreed to by DOE and have been provided to the responsible DOE Operations Officers and NRC Program and Project Managers as guidance.

A. PREPARATION OF DRAFT PRELIMINARY REPORTS FOR COMMENT The first issuance of information by a contractor shall be designated

, " Draft Preliminary Report (or Code)," and shall include the cover sheet shown in Exhibit 24.
