1.2 Introduction
Following the events at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station, the NRC issued an Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, EA-12-049. This Order requires the development, implementation and maintenance of mitigating strategies. Additionally, an Order To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, EA-12-051, was issued to require installation of spent fuel pool (SFP) wide-range level indication.
The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform technical services as defined in this PWS. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
