MF46681. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is titled, "Technical Assistance in Support of Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS)Unit Nos. I, 2 and 3; Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270 & 50-287 License Amendment Request(LAR) to Reduce Allowed Maximum Rated Thermal Power When High Pressure Injection (HPI) Equipment Is Inoperable License Amendment Request No. 2013-03 (MF4668)."

The objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise to assist the U.S. NuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC) staff in determining the technical adequacy of the licenseamendment request (LAR) submitted by Duke Energy Carolinas (Duke Energy) to revise TS3.5.2 by reducing the allowed maximum rated thermal power (RTP) at which the unit canoperate when select HPI System equipment is inoperable.

This project falls under SectionC.3.2, "Licensing Support,"

of the base contract.

The Statement of Work (SOW) for this Task Order falls within the unrestricted part of NRCIDIQ Enterprise-Wide Contract entitled Technical Assistance in Support of AgencyEnvironmental and Reactor Programs, paragraph 3.2, Licensing Support.2. BACKGROUND In accordance with the provisions of Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations (10 CFR), Duke Energy has submitted a request for an amendment to theTechnical Specifications (TS) for ONS, Units 1, 2, and 3. The proposed amendment wouldrevise TS 3.5.2 by reducing the allowed maximum rated thermal power (RTP) at which theunit can operate when select HPI System equipment is inoperable.

These revisions weredeemed necessary to correct a non-conservative Technical Specification.

In accordance with the guidance of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Administrative Letter 98-10, this condition is captured in the ONS Corrective Action Program and properadministrative controls have been established until the TS is revised.

Oconee NuclearStation requests approval of this proposed amendment by May 22, 2015.3. SCOPE OF WORKThe contractor must provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks anddeliverables described in this statement of work (SOW).The contractor must perform a review, confirmatory analysis as necessary, determined bythe COR, and evaluation of the technical and regulatory basis for the LAR. As an output ofthis task order, the contractor must provide to the NRC the Technical Evaluation Report(TER) that will be used as input for the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER), thatdocuments the NRC's technical, legal, and safety basis for approving the licenseamendment request.2
