NRCI020 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 508 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF1973, AS AMENDED (SEP 2013)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §794d) asamended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105 - 220), August 7, 1998 torequire Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT)accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an abilityto obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate

Page 13 of 15

barriers in information technology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities,and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The lawapplies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronicand information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. §794d), agencies must givedisabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparableto access available to others.

Specifically, Section 508 of that Act requires that when Federal agencies develop,procure, maintain, or use EIT, Federal employees with disabilities have access to anduse of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federalemployees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would beimposed on the agency. (36 C.F.R. §1194 implements Section 508 of the RehabilitationAct of 1973, as amended, and is viewable at:http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm)

Exceptions.All EIT that the government acquires by purchase or by lease/rental under this contractmust meet the applicable accessibility standards at 36 C.F.R. Part 1194, unless one ormore of the following exceptions at FAR 39.204 applies to this acquisition (applicable ifchecked):

The EIT is for a national security system.

] The EIT is acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract.

[ The EIT is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance,repair or occasional monitoring of equipment.

[ ] Compliance with the applicable 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 provisions would impose an

undue burden on the agency.

Applicable Standards.

The following accessibility standards from 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 have been determined tobe applicable to this contract/order. See www.section508.gov for more information:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Program Element Plan (PEP) delineates technical assistance activities to be performed insupport of the Division of Systems Analysis (DSA) in assessing technical issues related to theability to safely and securely store spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in dry storage for extended periodsof time. The Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) requested the Office ofRegulatory Research (RES) assistance in developing a three dimensional computational fluiddynamics (CFD) model to analyze the time-dependent thermal behavior of fuel for a TN-32vertical dry cask storage system (DCSS) under a user need from NMSS.

2.0 BACKGROUND

This task involves developing state-of-the-art modeling of the thermal behavior of fuel in drycask storage systems for periods of up to 300 years, for use in extended dry cask storage andtransportation. This research will support risk-informing long term storage regulations. For theforeseeable future, the staff anticipates dry cask storage will be the alternative preferred byindustry for providing additional storage capacity at operating and new reactors, and forproviding the spent fuel management needs at decommissioned sites or at away-from-reactorsites.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

The objective of this task is to realistically model the thermal behavior of fuel in dry cask storagesystems for periods of up to 300 years. In this task, a vertical DCSS containing pressurizedwater reactor fuel should be modeled under conditions expected to exist at a yet to be specifiednuclear power plant facility (NRC will provide). The analytical model should provide threedimensional estimates of the spatial and temporal temperature distributions from the center ofthe cask to the outside surface of the cask. The methodology should be documented in such away so that additional cases covering other dry cask storage system designs can be developedin a consistent manner. In the future, thermal data is expected to be available for modelbenchmarking as a result of planned measurements to collect data of a vertical DCSS.

Technical expertise is required in the following areas:* Dry Cask Storage System Design* Thermal analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" Uncertainty analysis using Grid Convergence Index method

This work consists of 6 tasks. The level of effort for this technical assistance request isestimated to be 1320 staff hours for the tasks defined in the base contract (Task 1 and 2).There is an estimated additional 1450 staff hours for the optional tasks (Task 3 through 6), for atotal of 2270 staff hours. Please see the planned allocation of staff-hours in section 6.0 "Scopeof Work." By the completion of Task 2, NRC will discuss with the contractor and agree on apath forward for Task 3 through 6.

5.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

The work on the tasks described in this PEP is anticipated to commence on or about July 1,2014 and will continue through December 31, 2017.

6.0 SCOPE OF WORK:

The scope of this work is to develop a CFD model for a vertical DCSS containing PWRassemblies and perform an uncertainty analysis for a steady state solution. After discussing withNRC staff and agreeing on a path forward, this CFD mode! will be benchmarked againstobserved thermal data that NRC staff expects to be available at a later time, and the contractorwill conduct time-dependent uncertainty analyses of the resulting benchmarked model. Thermaldata indicative of the conditions of a DCSS at North Anna nuclear power plant facility, which isneeded for model benchmarking, is expected to become available later as a result of plannedexaminations. Modeling target parameters consist of peak cladding temperature (PCT),minimum cladding temperature (MCT), cask walls heat transfer, and air cooling mass flow rate.

The latest version of ANSYS Fluent using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling will bethe tool required to perform this task. Predictions will include both, the minimum and themaximum fuel temperature as function of time. Obtained predictions will include the possibleuncertainty in the results. The uncertainty of the results will be calculated using methodsavailable in ASME V&V 20-2009, including numerical error (grid convergence index (GCI)),modeling error, and experimental error.

A three dimensional (3-D) CFD model is required to perform the analysis. The fuel rods in theassemblies will not be model explicitly; instead, a 3-D array of square-shaped cells will be usedto represent the fuel assemblies inside storage cells. The storage cells will be inside acylindrical shell that represents the cask. The geometrical intricacies at the bottom and top ofthe fuel basket will be explicitly modeled. All surfaces and materials must be represented in themodel using temperature dependent thermo-physical properties. Any assumptions to simplifythe model must be communicated to RES before implementation. The fuel rods inside eachassembly can be replaced by porous media with equivalent frictional and inertial flow resistance.The air gaps surrounding the canister, the irregular down-comer inside the canister, and the gasplenum inside the canister should be explicitly modeled.

The porous media hydraulic resistance of the fuel assemblies stored within the MPC will beobtained using 3-D CFD models of design-basis corresponding assemblies. The in-plane

2

effective thermal conductivity of fuel assemblies should be obtained using two-dimensional (2-D) CFD analysis of an array of fuel rods enclosed by a square box. The energy conservationequation to calculate the effective thermal conductivity should include radiation and conductionheat transfer for a given fuel rod heat source and isothermal boundary conditions. The axialconduction heat transfer in the fuel pellets should be included to calculate the effective axialheat conductivity. The final thermal conductivities of regions populated by fuel rods, like theporous media simulation for helium flow, will be represented by a 3-D continuum havingeffective planar and axial conductivities. Collaboration with RES is required to agree on theporous media implementation and the effective thermal conductivities input to the CFD model.

The air gap around the canister and helium flow inside the canister will be simulated using theappropriate turbulence model. Discussion with the Office of Research is required beforeimplementing any turbulence modeling.

Symmetry can be used to minimize central processing unit time and effort to analyze dry casknormal storage conditions. The Discrete Ordinate (DO) radiation model should be used tomodel the radiative transfer equation. Temperature dependent thermo-physical properties willbe used for dry cask solid and wall materials.

The DCSS, will be modeled as standing in the outside ambient environment. The model shouldalso be able to accomidate the addition of a thermal blanket around the DCSS.. Appropriateboundary conditions should be represented in the CFD model to reflect the interactions betweenthe cask system and the ambient environment. Specification of apprcpriate velocities orpressures and temperatures of the ambient conditions on the edges of the control volume isimportant for the analysis. The boundaries should consider the walls surrounding the DCSSwhere mixed heat transfer will be used including natural convection and radiation to thesurroundings. DCSS outside wall heat transfer coefficients should be based on a validcorrelation from literature.

Thermal radiation properties including angles, pixels, and resolution of the DO radiation modelshould be evaluated through sensitivity calculations. The rest of the specified boundaryconditions are summarized below:

" Ambient conditions of the corresponding plant, will be provided, and should be used in theanalysis (sensitivity of the variation in ambient conditions throughout the year should beconsidered)

" Solar insolation loading will be considered" Symmetry will be used when necessary" Appropriate surface emissivities will be set for all the DCSS surfaces" A sensitivity of surface emissivities will be performed" Air humidity will be considered" The porous media model requires the input of effective conductivities and flow resistances.

The values for effective conductivities and flow resistances for the CFD model will becalculated using the methods described in [Zigh 2007].

The transient analysis will simulate the cask over 300 years. It is contemplated to use either acomplete transient analysis or multiple steady state cases. The second option is more feasibleas it saves time and effort. Discussion with the RES is required to choose the right model.

3

The flow regimes for the air gap surrounding the canister and helium flow within the canister areimportant factors that can affect the outcome of an analysis. Careful and correctcharacterization of the flow regime is required to avoid misprediction of the flow variables. Inprevious analysis, the flow inside the canister was found to be laminar while convection insidethe air gaps was assumed stagnant and neglected. Careful meshing of air gaps and heliumflow close to the walls is necessary. Discussion with the RES is required to choose the rightflow regime model and quality of the mesh.

To validate the flow inside and outside the canister experimental data for a vertical cask will becollected at a yet to be specified nuclear power plant facility. Among the models to performsensitivity on in this validation are the following:" Turbulence Model: in addition to laminar option numerous turbulence models exist in CFD

commercially available software such as ANSYS-Fluent" Running fluid (i.e. air and helium) equation of state: compressible (ideal gas) vs.

incompressible ideal gas" Radiation Model: numerous radiation models exist in CFD software. The applicability of

these models depends on the geometry, opacity, and wave length." Porous media input for inertial and frictional losses" The effective thermal conductivity to be used in porous media model to account for radiation

and conduction of the fuel rods and the surfaces that will be omitted from the realconfiguration (i.e. fuel rods, and other walls)

* Material properties* Sura2ze emissivity" Simplifications to the real geometry" Sensitivity to the environmental conditions

There are two kinds of verification. One is code verification which is used to demonstrate thatthe computerized model is consistent with the CFD code as stated above, i.e. that there are noprogramming errors or inconsistencies in the solution algorithm. This is normally done by thecode developers. The other kind of verification is solution verification which is the estimation ofthe numerical error or uncertainty of a specific simulation result and is to be done by the codeuser. Solution verification is also known as numerical error estimation.

Both kinds of verification need to quantify the discretization error which results from the fact thata system of partial differential equations is solved with finite discretization in space and time.The most general method for estimating the discretization error is the Richardson extrapolation.This method is used in code verification and solution verification. The application of Richardsonextrapolation method to quantify the discretization error is named GC. Details of the GCImethod can be found in ASME V&V 20-2009. Close collaboration with the Office of Research isrequired for this task.

According to the "ASME V&V 20-2009", GCI can be understood as:" Uncertainty of the solutions derived from discretized equations by a numerical and analytical

approach." Its uncertainty is at 95% confidence level, and that is consistent with the 1.96 sigma range

for a Gaussian distribution" Numerical uncertainty is evaluated using GCI, which is defined as an -95% confidence

interval for the numerical error.

4

" For the purpose of combining with other uncertainties (i.e., coverage factors for convertingexpanded uncertainty to standard uncertainty), the GCI is assumed to be a normal Gaussiandistribution (i.e., 95% coverage = 1.96u).

" Four different meshes are required to evaluate the solution uncertainty." Target variables to obtain the uncertainty consist of PCT, MCT, cask walls heat transfer, and

air cooling mass flow rate.

NEW STANDARDS FOR CONTRACTORS WHO PREPARE NUREG-SERIES MANUSCRIPTS

8

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) began to capture most of its official recordselectronically on January 1, 2000. The NRC will capture each final NUREG-series publication inits native application. Therefore, please submit your final manuscript that has been approved byyour NRC COR in both electronic and camera-ready copy.

All format guidance, as specified in NUREG-0650, Revision 2, will remain the same with oneexception. You will no longer be required to include the NUREG-series designator on thebottom of each page of the manuscript. The NRC will assign this designator when we send thecamera-ready copy to the printer and will place the designator on the cover, title page, andspine. The designator for each report will no longer be assigned when the decision to prepare apublication is made. The NRC's Publishing Services Branch will inform the NRC COR for thepublication of the assigned designator when the final manuscript is sent to the printer.For the electronic manuscript, the Contractor shall prepare the text in Microsoft Word, and useany of the following file types for charts, spreadsheets, and the like.

If aportion of your manuscript is from another source and you cannot obtain an acceptableelectronic file type for this portion (e.g., an appendix from an old publication), the NRC can, ifnecessary, create a tagged image file format (file extension.tif) for that portion of your report.Note that you should continue to submit original photographs, which will be scanned, sincedigitized photographs do not print well.

If you choose to publish a compact disk (CD) of your publication, place on the CD copies of themanuscript in both (1) a portable document format (PDF); (2) a Microsoft Word file format, and(3) an Adobe Acrobat Reader, or, alternatively, print instructions for obtaining a free copy ofAdobe Acrobat Reader on the back cover insert of the jewel box.

13.0 RESEARCH QUALITY

The quality of NRC research programs are assessed each year by the Advisory Committee onReactor Safeguards. Within the context of their reviews of RES programs, the definition ofquality research is based upon several major characteristics:

Results meet the objectives (75% of overall score)Justification of major assumptions (12%)Soundness of technical approach and results (52%)Uncertainties and sensitivities addressed (11%)

Documentation of research results and methods is adequate (25% of overall score)Clarity of presentation (16%)Identification of major assumptions (9%)

9

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that these quality criteria are adequatelyaddressed throughout the course of the research that is performed. The NRC COR andtechnical monitor will review all research products with these criteria in mind.
