It is in the best interest of the Offeror to explain major deviations inescalation, proposed in any Evergreen Clause option years. Resulting GSA task/delivery order option years subject tothe Evergreen Clause will be initially priced utilizing the same rates proposed under the last GSA-priced year of thesubject GSA Schedule. Upon GSA's exercise of the GSA Schedule option year(s) applicable to the Evergreen Clause,the NRC will modify the awarded task/delivery order to incorporate either the proposed pricing for the option years or theGSA-approved pricing (whichever is lower).

It is incumbent upon the Offeror to provide sufficient documentation (GSA-signed schedule, schedule modifications,etc.) that shows both the effective dates, pricing and terms/conditions of the current GSA Schedule, as well asEvergreen Clause terms/conditions (as applicable). Failure to provide this documentation may result in the Offeror'sproposal being found unacceptable.

Title: Review of Topical Report WCAP-16996-P "Realistic LOCA Evaluation MethodologyApplied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology),"Volumes 1, 11, and Ill

TAC Number: ME5244

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) is the major program office of the NRC that isresponsible for the licensing and regulatory oversight of nuclear power reactors and non-powerresearch reactors in the civilian sector. NRR functions through a matrix organization whichincludes two Deputy Directors and eight technical divisions. The Division of Safety Systems(DSS) is responsible for performing safety reviews, evaluations and in-depth analyses in theareas related to nuclear physics and engineering, thermal hydraulics, including accident analysisand nuclear physics and thermal hydraulic methods review. DSS is also responsible forundertaking specific technical efforts aimed at licensing support such as the review of specialand topical reports received from Vendor and Owner groups such as the Nuclear EnergyInstitute, Electric Power Research Institute, Combustion Engineering, Babcock & Wilcox,Westinghouse, Westinghouse Owners Group and individual owners' group, e.g., boiling waterreactor stability.

NRC has a specific budgeted activity for the review of topical reports whereby vendormethodologies, technical positions, modeling techniques and analytical code calculations can beapproved ahead of their being reference by nuclear utilities in future requests for amendment totheir licenses and other licensing action requests.

The topical reports to support licensing activities in the aforementioned technical areas arereviewed under two principal DSS branches: the Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) and theNuclear Performance and Code Review Branch (SNPB). Specifically, SNPB is responsible forevaluating those reports that pertain to the design and performance of reactor thermal-hydraulicsystems for operating reactor designs, to core physics, fuel behavior, reactivity control systemand control rod design and core thermal-hydraulic performance. SNPB maintains thermalhydraulic and fuel related computer code models for operating reactors and reviews vendortopical reports addressing the methods employed to evaluate thermal hydraulic accidentperformance for loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA) and non-LOCA events, core physics, fuelperformance, and containment performance.

Under the NRC Topical Report Program, Westinghouse has submitted a topical reportdescribing best-estimate methods for analysis of both large and small break LOCAs inpressurized water reactors. Topical Report WCAP-16996-P is a best-estimate methodologydeveloped by Westinghouse Electric Co LLC to perform LOCA analyses of the full spectrum(FSLOCATM ) of break sizes down to and including those breaks in the small break range or

1.0 BACKGROUND (CONTINUED)

break sizes less than 1.0 ft2. The ASTRUM methodology previously applied to only large breaksby Westinghouse is now extended to include intermediate and small breaks, which now hasbeen extended to include break sizes less than 1.0 ff2. The main components of the FSLOCATMmethodology are described in Volumes 1, 11 and III, and consist of descriptions of the Models andCorrelations, Code Assessment, and Uncertainty Methodology and Demonstration PlantAnalyses, respectively.

In addition to the in-depth technical evaluation of the topical report, the contractor will beperforming audit calculations for a selection of break sizes using state-of-the-art codes thatincludes both the RELAP5 and TRACE transient thermal hydraulic blowdown and heat-upcodes. The contractor will also be required to perform separate computer calculations ofseparate effects and/or integral experiments to understand the behavior of keyphenomenological behavior governing small break LOCA performance. Results of the in-depthreview and evaluation, audit calculations and independent computer calculations will bedocumented in a final Technical Evaluation Report.

Technical expertise is required to assist the staff in the review of the FSLOCATM methodologyand codes used to perform best-estimate uncertainty analyses of the full spectrum of break sizesto supplement staff resources.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this contract is to obtain technical expertise to assist the staff in determining thetechnical acceptability of the thermal hydraulic methods and modeling techniques as describedin topical report WCAP-16996-P for application to best-estimate simulations of the large andsmall break loss-of-coolant accidents in pressurized water reactors.

OTHER APPLICABLE INFORMATION

License Fee Recovery

The work under this task order is license fee recoverable.

Assumptions and Understandinqgs

It is understood that only those portions of the topical report which have been revised since thepublication of the previous report, i.e., WCAP-16009-P-A, "Realistic Large-Break LOCAEvaluation Methodology Using the Automated Statistical Treatment of Uncertainty Method(ASTRUM)," dated January 2005, are to be reviewed and evaluated. These portions are clearlymarked in the topical report.

The level of effort assumption for Subtasks a. through f. under Tasks 1, 2 and 3 is based on anaverage of 133.3 hours per subtask; or a total of 800 hours. It is further understood that thelevel of effort for these three tasks consists of participation in telephone discussions with theTechnical Monitor.

It is understood that the level of effort for Subtasks 1.g, 2.g. and 3.g is limited to about 160hours, including documentation. Any hours spent on these three Subtasks exceeding 160 hourswill require approval in writing by the Project Officer.

It is understood that the contractor shall recommend, from the available experimental data,appropriate separate effects or integral tests to investigate the phenomena of interest.

1I

Assumptions and Understandings (Continued)

It is understood that only existing input decks shall be used to perform separate effects andintegral test calculations described in Subtasks g. of Tasks 1, 2 and 3; that is to say, there will beno effort spent on the preparation of plant decks or integral systems experimental decks, i.e.Semiscale or other appropriate available decks to be identified. However, limited, minormodifications, i.e., those not exceeding 40 hours, to existing decks are permissible.

It is understood that the separate effects may include, but are not limited to, loop seal clearing(impact on core uncovery and PCT), injection section condensation (impact on RCSdepressurization), and two-phase level swell. Integral tests may include, but not limited to,Semiscale and/or ROSA small break LOCA tests.

It is assumed that the contractor has operating versions of the RELAP5 and the TRACEcomputer codes in order to be able to perform the calculations.

It is understood that Tasks 4, 5 and 6 have been written separately and not imbedded in themain review of Tasks 1, 2 and 3 in order to keep track of the amount of time, and thereforecosts, that are being spent in those Tasks against the agreed upon budgeted amount. It isfurther understood that there is sufficient scheduler time allowed to complete Tasks 1, 2 and 3so as to perform these efforts within the planned completion time frames of those Task 1, 2 and3.

It is understood that the Project Officer will develop and provide the contractor with thenumbering scheme to track the RAIs.

The level of effort assumption for Task 4 is based on there being 100 "first round" RAIs requiringabout two hours each to address, on the average, including documentation.

The level of effort assumption for Task 6 is based on there being 25 "second round" RAIsrequiring about two hours each to address, on the average, including documentation.

The level of effort assumption for each of the two trips to Pittsburgh, Pa. is based on four hoursfor preparation and travel to the meeting site, 16 hours for the meeting and return travel and fourhours for report preparation.

The level of effort assumption for each of the trips to NRC HQ is based on two hours forpreparation, eight hours for the meeting and two hours for report preparation.

It is understood that a monthly expense variance greater than 10 percent must be explained inthe "Problem/Resolution" section of the monthly letter status report. It is further understood thatonce a variance reaches 15 percent, prior approval is required in writing from the NRC ProjectOfficer to exceed this amount. If approval is not provided, consideration will be given to theprocessing of a modification, or other remedy.

Attachment 1

Guidance for Preparing Requests for Additional Information (RAIs)

Additional information necessary to resolve open or unresolved items identified duringthe review of the information associated with the Topical Report needs to be requestedin a manner that is unambiguous, has an adequate basis, and is necessary for thesafety review. The technical letter report described in Technical ReportingRequirements should provide a list of RAls using the following guidance:

1. An RAI should include the appropriate basis for requesting the information. Thebasis should explain why the information is needed, including how it will be used tohelp make a reasonable assurance finding.

2. Judgmental language should be avoided.

a. Questions should not make adequacy determinations.

b. Words like "unacceptable" or "deficient" and "deviation" should be avoided.Likewise, avoid using phrases like '1he staff will require"since it is premature torequire anything when asking questions.

3. Questions should be focused, not open-ended.

a. The RAI should be in the form of a question or an imperative to provide what isneeded to complete the review. When the reviewer needs specific information orthe underlying issue may not be apparent, the RAI should clearly identify theinformation requested and/or the underlying issue.

b. "If ... then" questions (questions that could lead to follow-on questions) shouldprovide both parts of the question.

After the RAls have been forwarded to the applicable NRC Project Manager,

teleconferences and/or public meetings may be held before issuing the RAIs:

a. These discussions prevent misunderstandings of the intent of the questions.

b. If a draft RAI is clarified or resolved before issuance, the NRC staff will prepare adocumented record of the resolution (i.e., minutes of a public meeting or ateleconference summary).

13

Guidance for Preparing Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) (Continued)

After the RAIs have been issued, the applicant may request a telephone conferenceand/or a public meeting:

a. The teleconferences and/or meetings provide additional clarification of the intentof the RAls and will help the applicant prepare satisfactory responses.

b. To ensure that the response appropriately addresses the RAI, the applicant maysubmit a draft response (which the NRC Project Manager dockets in the Agency-Wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)) and may requesta follow-up teleconference and/or meeting.

After receiving applicant's response to the RAI, the NRC Project Manager may hold ateleconference and/or a public meeting. The purpose of discussing a response with theapplicant is to better understand the response and/or clarify areas of disagreement. Ifthe resolution of a response relies on information not submitted to the NRC, theapplicant should submit the information on the docket.

Any travel taken during the reporting period should also be summarized in this sectionof the report. Each travel summary should identify the persons traveling, the durationof the travel, the purpose of the travel, and any work/accomplishments not reflectedelsewhere.

4. Problem/Resolution

- All problems encountered during the period should be clearly and succinctly identi-fied and stated. Then, the resolution or the proposed solution should be brieflydescribed. It should be clearly evident, from a reading of the description, who isresponsible for solving the problem, should it still exist at the time the report is writ-ten.

- Notwithstanding the status of the problem at the time the MLSR is written, all prob-lems should be recorded in the "Problem/ Resolution" section of the MBLR fordocumentation/historical purposes. If the problem still exists in a subsequentmonth, in whole or in part, it should be described as it currently exists; otherwise, itshould be deleted from the report.

- Problem or circumstances that require a change in the level of effort/costs, scope,or travel requirements are to be described in the MLSRs for documentationpurposes but are to be dealt with separately in a letter addressed and sent to theNRR project manager.

5. Plans for Next Period

Provide a brief description of the work to be performed/accomplished during the nextreporting period. If a milestone is expected to be completed during the next reportperiod, so state.

IV. LICENSE FEE RECOVERY COST STATUS

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171 on fees, provide the total amount offunds costed during the period and fiscal year to date for each task order by facility or topicalreport. The license fee recovery status report shall be on a separate oaae as part of theMLSR for the Job Code Number (JCN), and shall be in the format provided below.

Costs must be separated for each plant unit number, e.g., Beaver Valley 2, or by TopicalReport and by the identified Technical Assignment Control (TAC) number and docket number.Costs are to be reported as whole numbers rounded to the nearest dollar. For work (e.g.submittals) that consists of more than one unit at the same site, the TAC number or InspectionReport number must be listed separately, as stated above, and the costs must be dividedappropriately between or among the units. Total period costs reported in the license fee re-covery cost status section should be equal the total of the period costs reported in the"Financial Status" section. In the event the totals of the costs reported in these two sectionsare not equal, an explanation for the variance must be given as a footnote in the license feerecovery cost status section.
