NRC-HQ-7G-14-C-0001 Modification No. M0014 Page 5 of 23 SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK C.1.TITLE OF PROJECT: This is a non-personal service contract to provide International Regulatory Assistance.

C. 2 BACKGROUND The NRC's Office of International Programs (OIP) supports the adoption and implementation of international nuclear safety and security regimes. The NRC has been providing regulatory assistance and support to its international counterparts since 1991. Initial efforts focused on certain countries of the former Soviet Union, but have since expanded globally. The general areas where NRC has focused its technical safety and security assistance and training efforts include currently operating nuclear power and research reactors, nuclear power plants planned or under construction, radioactive waste, nuclear fuel cycle, radioactive sources and fissile materials.

At the present time, work involving select countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia is either underway or planned for the near future. Continuation of th ese efforts is anticipated for the next five to ten years, and new needs will likely arise. C.3 CONTRACT OBJECTIVES The Contractor shall provide personnel with specific technical and scientific expertise, including research and development and training, applicable to nuclear safety and security regulations, including operating nuclear power plants, nuclear power plants planned or under construction, radioactive sources, materials and waste, to assist the NRC's Office of International Programs (OIP) staff in providing a continuous and uninterrupted transfer of nuclear-related assistance to select countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
