1.0 BACKGROUND

Combined Operating License (COL) Applications are submitted pursuant to Part 52 of Title 10 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 52), "Early Site Permits; Standard DesignCertifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." The U.S. Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) reviews COL Applications based on information furnished by electric utilitycompanies pursuant to 10 CFR 52.79, "Contents of Applications Technical Information."

A Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800) is prepared for the guidance of staff reviewers in theOffice of New Reactors in performing safety reviews of applications to construct or operate "nuclear power plants and the review of applications to approve standard designs and sites fornuclear power plants. The principal purpose of the SRP is to assure the quality and uniformity ofstaff safety reviews.

An Environmental Safety Review Plan (NUREG-1 555) is prepared for the guidance of staffreviewers in performing environmental reviews of applications related to nuclear power plants.The ESRPs are companions to regulatory guides that address siting and environmental issues.As with NUREG-0800 the purpose of the ESRP is to assure the quality and uniformity ofenvironmental reviews.

The staff publishes the results of these reviews in a Safety Evaluation Report (SER).

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this task order are to obtain technical expertise from Numark (1) to assist theNRC staff in determining whether or not the subject COL application meets appropriateregulatory requirements pertaining to site safety related surface water hydrology, groundwaterhydrology and hydraulic structures issues and site characterizations as specified in sections2.4.1 through 2.4.14 of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) which provides guidance to staff inperforming safety reviews of combined construction permit and operating license (COL)applications, (2) to ensure a consistency, in terms of hydrologic data and analysis approaches,between the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Safety Evaluation Report, and (3)to write a Technical Evaluation Report (TER) after conducting appropriate confirmatory dataanalyses and modeling for routing surface water flooding and groundwater transport.

The primary deliverable, or output of this regulatory review, shall be a Technical EvaluationReport (TER) based on Section 2.4 of the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER). TheTER will serve as input to the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) which will documentthe NRC's technical, safety, and legal basis for approving the COL application. The TER mustprovide sufficient information to adequately explain the rationale for why there is reasonable

assurance that public health and safety is protected. The TER should be written in a mannerwhereby a person with either non-nuclear technical background or non-technical backgroundcould understand the basis for the staff's conclusions.

The TER format is described in Attachment 4 to this Task Order Statement of Work.

All work under this task order is fee recoverable and must be charged to the appropriate TACnumber(s).

b. Assumptions and Understandings:

The level of effort for Task 1 c is based on the assumption that there will be 50 RAIs and it willtake, on the average, 2.5 hours to review and address each response.

The level of effort for Task 2a and 2b and 4 is based on the need to resolve 20 open items andit will take, on the average, 4 hours to review and resolve each open item, and prepare a TER.

It is assumed that the contractor has access to the NRC furnished material available on theInternet.

It is understood that the scope of the review consists of conference calls with the NRC staff, andwith the NRC staff and the applicant, to discuss open items in an attempt to obtain additionalinformation or reach resolution.

The primary deliverable, or output of this regulatory review, shall be the Technical EvaluationReport (TER). The TER will serve as input to the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER)which will document the NRC's technical, safety, and legal basis for approving the Bell BendCOL application. The TER must provide sufficient information to adequately explain the NRCstaff's rationale for why there is reasonable assurance that public health and safety is protected.The TER, and ultimately the SER, should be written in a manner whereby a person with atechnical (non-nuclear) background and unfamiliar with the applicant's request could understandthe basis for the staff's conclusions. The TER format is described in Attachment 4 to this TaskOrder Statement of Work.

[Location, Project] Information Needs

Section 2.4.#

On page 2.4-#, the statement that flood records after 1952 be considered representativeof the current regulated conditions of the [Named] River indicates that no changes to thewatershed have occurred that would alter the hydrology of the watershed. In general,the NRC staff would like to see verification of computer model results against field datacollected during the largest discharge events at the site, with preference to more recentevents that capture potential urbanization of the watershed and the latest condition ofthe river/floodplain.

On page 2.4-#, the statement that flood records after [Year] are consideredrepresentative of the current regulated conditions of the [Named] River appears to be inconflict with another statement on page # that a [ Year] peak flood elevation would besignificantly reduced by present day regulation. Please clarify these statements.

In Figure 2.4.2-#, the delineated drainage basins do not indicate the direction andmovement of water under the design conditions of local intense precipitation. Pleaseindicate the intended flow directions.

On page 2.4-#, the reader is referred to Table # regarding local intense precipitation.

The figure number appears to in error. Should the figure number be 2.4.2-206?

Page 2.4-14

The text discusses a multi-variable relationship to estimate precipitation losses. Pleaseprovide additional details and references concerning this method used to estimateprecipitation losses.

Also, the text states that precipitation excess increases as the storm progresses and isequal to the rainfall when from # to # inches of rainfall have fallen. These values of # to# inches seem high. Please explain. It should be noted that, according to the statementfound on page 2.4-#, the PMP depth is # inches.

Unit hydrographs developed from observed data are obviously based on runoff fromstorms much smaller than that expected from the PMP/PMF. As such, adjustments aremade to the unit hydrograph to better represent the response of the watershed underPMP/PMF conditions. There is no discussion of adjusting the unit hydrographs for thePMF conditions as is recommended by the US Army Corps of Engineers, FERC, andthe Bureau of Reclamation.

Based on [applicant] work the staff expects to review some of the detailed analysis work. Apartial list of items the staff are expecting to review include: (a) the calculation packages for thedevelopment and update of unit hydrographs including those from the new HEC-HMS modelsfor each of the sub-areas, that make up the [Named] watershed above the site, (b) the calculationpackage(s) related to the unsteady-flow model including the final bathymetry, rating curves, etc.processed and included in the model, and (c) users guides and calculation packages associatedwith each of the related sub-models.
