MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK

I. INTRODUCTION

The work to be performed by the Contractor under the Contract consists in the furnishing of certain shipyard facilities as therein provided and in general furnishing material and services for the maintenance and servicing of the N. S. SAVANNAH, with respect to both conventional and nonconventional features of said Vessel and generally furnishing a home base for the Vessel. This scope of work is intended as a general description of the work and in general terms the description of the facilities, method of performing work, storage of fuels, manpower requirements and other explanatory matters but except to the extent that by reference any of the provisions of this scope of work are incorporated into the provisions of the contract, this scope is not intended as including provisions establishing or defining the Contractor's or the Administration's responsibilities under the Contract.

The facilities which may make up a central servicing system for the SAVANNAH are defined, as follows: 1) Nuclear Servicing Vessel; 2) Nuclear Shore Facility; 3) Nuclear Ship Maintenance Site; 4) Nuclear Ship Refueling Site; 5) Nuclear Ship Waste Transfer Site; and 6) Nuclear Ship Drydocking Site. The nonconventional services associated with a central servicing system are those required to accomplish nuclear plant maintenance and modification, refueling, waste handling and transfer, handling and storage of new and irradiated fuel, provision of radiation safety measures, training and mock-up programs, and carry out testing and development programs.

The Administration proposes to furnish the Nuclear Servicing Vessel, ATOMIC SERVANT, MA Design B2-MA-51a, equipped with a spent fuel pit, as a flexible component to the system. However, the Contractor will be expected to operate, maintain, furnish crew, and arrange for transportation of this barge wherever it may be needed.

In addition to the Nuclear Servicing Vessel, the Administration also proposes to furnish, or have furnished by others, at least one shipping container for transportation of irradiated fuel from pierside to a reprocessing site. The Contractor will load spent fuel from the Nuclear Servicing Vessel into the shipping container, prepare it for shipment, and arrange for removal to and placement in a special railroad car provided. Advisory services will be provided during the loading operation by the spent fuel shipping contractor, who also will take charge of the shipping container and its subsequent movements immediately following the loading operation of the cask on the freight car.

The Administration also proposes to furnish certain refueling and other equipment for nuclear work which the Contractor will operate and maintain as further described herein.

The Contractor will furnish a qualified nuclear staff to accomplish the nonconventional services that are determined to be necessary to keep the SAVANNAH in good operating condition or to assist in upgrading the plant, and trained personnel for operation of the facilities which make up the central servicing system. The Contractor will maintain close liaison and day to day working contacts with General Agent's staff, who will furnish technical guidance as necessary within the scope of authorized work. The Contractor is encouraged to request authorization for the loan of technical personnel from the General Agent's staff whenever this is deemed to be in the best interests of the program.

Plans, specifications, procedures, manuals, reports, and instructions, prepared by the reactor builder, the building yards, and other contractors, will be furnished for guidance and will be used by the Contractor whenever practicable in accomplishing the work outlined herein.

A. Conventional work

II. SERVICES

The Administration proposes to accomplish from time to time conventional maintenance and repairs and modifications to the non-nuclear portions of the Savannah under the provisions of this maintenance and servicing contract.

The Contractor may be required from time to time to furnish safe berthing for the ship at one or more of its yards, and to accommodate an undetermined visitor load, even though yard work is not being undertaken at the time. However, it is intended that requests for such services will be held to a minimum.

B. Nonconventional work

1. Modifications-Since the Savannah is considered an experimental ship, it may prove necessary to make significant modifications to the nuclear plant for the purpose of upgrading the plant. The modification program will vary from year to year depending on specific programs approved and authorized by the Administration.

2. Maintenance and Repair-It is proposed that maintenance will be undertaken periodically. Repairs will be accomplished as necessary to restore the plant to a sound condition. In general, it can be expected that maintenance and repairs will be performed on an annual and a voyage repair basis as soon as the Savannah becomes a developed ship. The Contractor when authorized will provide plans, specifications and procedures for and perform work of the following types: (a) the handling of radioactive components which require maintenance or repair, (b) the maintenance or repair of nuclear system components, and (c) accomplishment of emergency repairs on a world-wide basis.

3. Refueling-Refueling is expected to be scheduled on a triennial basis, preferably during an annual overhaul period. However, the initial refueling may be scheduled at an earlier date. The refueling operation may include the shifting of irradiated fuel to other positions elsewhere within the core as well as removal for storage and subsequent reprocessing or possible reinstallation. The fuel programming will be determined by the Administration. The Contractor when authorized will provide plans, specifications and procedures for, and perform work of the following types:

a. Storage of the refueling equipment.

b. Test of the refueling equipment.

c. Train and qualify personnel in the use of the refueling equipment.

d. Shipment of the refueling equipment to a refueling site other than the storage site.

e. Unloading and checking of equipment at the refueling site.

f. Operation of the refueling equipment at the refueling site.

g. Operation and use of special equipment to be provided by the Contractor and/or the Administration.

h. Decontamination of the refueling equipment.

i. Preparation for shipment and the shipment of the refueling equipment from the refueling site to the storage site as may be required.

4. Waste Handling and Transfer-Liquid, solid and gaseous wastes will be discharged from the Savannah periodically. The Contractor will receive these wastes, process and package them, and arrange for ultimate disposal, in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations in effect at the time. The Contractor when authorized will provide plans, specifications, and procedures for, and perform work of the following types:

a. Transfer of demineralizer resin from the SAVANNAH to the Nuclear Servicing Vessel or to a shore facility.

b. Transfer of contaminated water from the SAVANNAH to the Nuclear Servicing Vessel or to a shore facility.

c. Transfer of miscellaneous solid wastes such as filters and charcoal adsorption units to the Nuclear Servicing Vessel or to a shore facility.

d. Preparation of the wastes received and/or generated by the servicing facilities for shipment to a disposal site.

e. Shipment of wastes to an ultimate disposal site.

5. New and Irradiated Fuel and Other Reactor Internals-The Contractor when authorized will provide plans, specifications, and procedules for, and perform work of the following types:

a. Receipt, handling and storage of new fuel.

b. Handling and storage of irradiated fuel elements, control rods, and reactor internals.

c. Loading of irradiated fuel into shipping container furnished by others. d. Ultimate disposal of irradiated control rods and other reactor internals designated as scrap material.

e. Receipt, handling, storage and shipment of neutron and test sources and other miscellaneous radioactive items.

6. Radiation Safety-The Contractor will provide for radiation safety by forming a health physics organization within the central servicing system. The facilities provided in the Nuclear Servicing Vessel will be used to the maximum extent practicable to minimize duplication of facilities ashore. Health physics
