This rule endorsesthe National Fire Protection Association.Standard 805 (NFPA 805), "Performance-BasedStandard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants," 2001 Edition.Xcel Energy, the licensee of the Prairie Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, has submitteda license amendment request (LAR) to adopt 10 CFR 50.48(c) (NFPA 805), and thisproject-level description of work outlines the requirements for technical assistance to beprovided by the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analysis (CNWRA)/South West ResearchInstitute (SwRI) to the Fire Protection Branch (AFPB) in the Division of Risk Assessment (DRA),NRR, to complete the technical review and develop the Technical Evaluation Report (TER).By letter dated September 28, 2012, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation(NSPM), the licensee of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units I and 2 (PINGP)submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), toadopt National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805) as the licensing basis forthe fire protection program. Shortly after the PINGP NFPA 805 LAR for transitioning to NFPA805 was accepted for detail technical review by the NRC, by letter dated May 3, 2013, thelicensee informed the NRC that the during internal reviews in preparation for the NRC on-siteaudit of the PINGP NFPA 805 LAR, NSPM identified a number of issues with the fireProbabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) aspects of the LAR and informed the NRC that a revisionis required to the PINGP Fire PRA. Several of the fire PRA issues were determined to affectthe risk values identified in the LAR. Since PRA area is the base-line for the entire LAR, thelicensee decided to "pull back," or otherwise put on hold the entire review.Page 5 of 34 On October 17, 2013, the licensee informed the NRC of their schedule plan for submitting asupplement to the previously submitted LAR and that-the projected date is May 1, 2014. Basedon.discussions between the licensee and the staff, the NRC staff has determined that the "LARsupplement" is so extensive that a completely new detail technical review is warranted. Also,since the submittal of the initial LAR, the NRC, in December 2013, changed its review approachwhich in turn changed the scope of the current task order Statement of Work and the level ofeffort. Therefore, a completely new task order consisting of the full scope of the NFPA 805review is being established.OBJECTIVEThe objective of this task order is to obtain technical expertise from the CNWRA/SwRI to assistthe staff in determining the safety adequacy of the Prairie Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and2, 10 CFR 50.48(c) (NFPA 805) LAR in the technical review area of nuclear power plant firemodeling and fire protection programmatic portion of LAR so the NRC staff can make alicensing decision regarding whether or not the LAR is in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c);NFPA 805, 2001 Edition; and the guidance provided in the NUREG-0800, Standard ReviewPlan (SRP) Section 9.5.1.2, "Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program."TECHNICAL AND OTHER SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS REQUIREDOne senior-level Fire Protection or Mechanical Engineer on an intermittent, part-time basis toserve as the Principal Investigator (PI) who has background and experience in nuclear powerplant design and operations to include procedures related to operations at full-power conditionsand shutdown modes. The PI should also be knowledgeable in the application ofNUREC/CR-6850 methods which pertains to nuclear power plant fire protection PRA models.The PI must be able to ensure that the LAR reviews performed by the domain experts (e.g.,FPE, Fire PRA, SSD/CA) are integrated and address areas that cross-cut domains, i.e., that thereview by one domain expert is integrated with the review by other domain experts). The PImust also ensure that the PRA model that is reviewed by the PRA expert makes assumptionsabout the fire protection program and that the review of the fire protection programassumptions in the PRA model must be a coordinated/integrated review by both the PRA andFPE experts.One senior-level Fire Protection Engineer on an intermittent, part-time basis who isknowledgeable of nuclear power plant fire protection programs and has in-depth experience infire modeling and fire hazard analysis; has in-depth knowledge and experience in the designand operation of nuclear power plant fire protection systems; and, experience in the applicationof Appendix R compliance.One senior-level Mechanical or Nuclear Engineer on an intermittent, part-time basis who isknowledgeable of nuclear power plant design and operation to include procedures related tooperations at full-power conditions and shutdown modes and who has in-depth knowledge andexperience in the design and operation of fire protection systems and programs implemented atnuclear power plants, and experience in the application of Appendix R regulations.All three individuals should be knowledgeable in the preparation of the TER, i.e., input to NRCsafety evaluation reports.The engineers must be able to. satisfy the escorted access requirements for the OwnerPage 6 of 34 Controlled Area and Protected Area of Prairie Island site.WORK REQUIREMENTS AND SCHEDULETasks Scheduled Completion1.

After completion of work, the documentsshould either be destroyed or returned to NRC. If theyare destroyed, please confirm this in an E-mail to theCOR and include the date and manner in which thedocuments were destroyed.The NRC COR will provide those NRC documents related to licensing activities (for example,any Non-Publicly available SERs, audit reports, and related documents) that are readilyavailable. The NRC COR will provide access to training material pertinent to the NFPA 805LARs reviews or other NRC documents and docketed correspondence on related issues. TheCNWRA staff shall identify any additional NRC documentation that is needed and the COR willdetermine whether these will be provided by the NRC or obtained directly by the CNWRA fromADAMS, NRC public document room or the NRC website at www.nrc.qov.OTHER APPLICABLE INFORMATIONLicense Fee RecoveryThe work specified in this SOW is license fee recoverable under TAC Nos. ME9734 andME9735.Assumptions and UnderstandingsIt is understood that the level of effort for each Task contains sufficient effort to conducttelephone conference calls with the NRC staff. Such phone calls, for example, might bearranged by the NRC COR with the Licensing Project Manager and other NRC staff to discussthe RAIs and to reach an understanding with the licensee. Comments might be provided suchthat the RAIs may have to be resubmitted.It is understood that preparation of the TER will occur at the completion of each Subtask underTask 1 and Task 3 though a deliverable of the TER is not required; a summary of the workperformed will be provided in the MLSR.It is understood that preparation for the audit includes minimal participation in a conference call("go-to-meeting") and effort to make travel arrangements.It is understood that the "on-site" RAIs means RAIs that were developed on site as a result ofthe audit; they are in additional to from those developed under Task 1.The level of effort assumption for the audit under Task 2 is based on eight hours for preparationand travel to the site, 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> to participate in the audit for one person and return travel, eighthours for "in-office" on-call support and eight hours for documentation: trip report andconsolidated audit report.It is understood that draft RAI responses may be available for review prior to their formalsubmittal.Unless otherwise approved by Letter of Technical Direction or by a Modification, the level ofPage 12 of 34 effort among the Tasks cannot be exceeded by more than 15 percent.It is understood that this project will require coordination between CNWRA/SwRI, PNNL, andthe NRC staff since all three will be providing technical expertise and input for the review of theLAR.It is understood that the actual time it will take to complete Task 3 may span up to 3 monthsafter receipt of the initial RAIs.It is understood that CNWRA/SwRl has copies of the following documents needed to performthe review:1.

RAIs should bedeveloped using the following guidance:1. An RAI should include the appropriate basis for requesting the information. The basisshould explain why the information is needed, including how it will be used to help make areasonable 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 "the staff will require" since it is premature to require anythingwhen 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 is needed tocomplete the review. When the reviewer needs specific information or the underlyingissue may not be apparent, the RAI should clearly identify the information requestedand/or the underlying issue.b. "If ... then" questions (questions that could lead to follow-on questions) should provideboth parts of the question.After the RAIs have been forwarded to the applicable NRC PM, teleconferences and/or publicmeetings 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 a teleconferencesummary).After the RAIs have been issued, the licensee may request a telephone conference and/or apublic meeting:a. The teleconferences and/or meetings provide additional clarification of the intent of theRAIs and will help the licensee prepare satisfactory responses.b. To ensure that the response appropriately addresses the RAI, the licensee may submit adraft response (which the NRC dockets in the ADAMS) and may request a follow-upteleconference and/or meeting.Page 15 of 34 After receiving RAI response(s) from the licensee, the NRC may hold a teleconference and/or apublic meeting:a.
