TASK ORDER STATEMENT OF WORK

1. PROJECT TITLE Technical Editing Assistance for License Renewal Limerick Generation Station Supplemental Final Safety Evaluation Report

2. BACKGROUND Based on the Atomic Energy Act, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues licenses for commercial nuclear power reactors to operate for up to 40 years and allows these licenses to be renewed for another 20 years. The license renewal safety requirements are published as Title 10 of the Federal Code of Regulations Part 54, respectively. The NRC has published regulatory guidance for the NRC staff (the staff) to follow when reviewing applications to address radiological and non-radiological environmental issues titled the "Environmental Standard Review Plan," NUREG-1 555 issued March 2000 (ESRP) to ensure conformance with its review process and to share the process with stakeholders. The NRC has also published regulatory guidance for the staff to follow when reviewing applications to address safety issues titled NUREG-1 800, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 2 issued December 2010 (SRP-LR) to ensure the quality and uniformity of staff reviews and to share the process with stakeholders.

The staff documents its support for the final related regulatory decisions in two NUREG-series publications: Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements (SEISs) and Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs). For each nuclear power plant license renewal application (LRA) and environmental report (ER) received from an applicant for license renewal, the staff publishes one draft SEIS (DSEIS), one final SEIS (FSEIS), one SER with open items, and one final SER.

The SER documents the results of the staff's safety review of the LRA and describes the technical details considered in evaluating the safety aspects of the proposed extended operation. The staff issued the final SER for the Limerick Generation Station license renewal review in January 2013.

The staff issues Supplements to the FSERs when new issues are identified by the applicant or when the staff issues new guidance regarding technical issues that could potentially change the staff's conclusions in the FSER.

Supplemental final SERs can range from 60-100 pages and are typically about 80 pages in length.
