U -- TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGULATORY CAPABILITY AND TRAINING OF REGULATORY STAFF FOR THE FORMER SOVIET UNION POC Sharlene McCubbin, (301) 415-6565 This synopsis is not a request for proposal. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking a contractor to provide training and consultation to the nuclear regulatory agencies of one or more of the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union. The work will focus on the development of regulatory capability, for example: - developing a functional organization including basic operating principles, - developing appropriate safety and environmental regulations, - developing guidance for applicants, licensees and licensing staff regarding the meaning of and methods for implementing the regulations, - assisting in the selection of appropriate analytical tools to enable the regulatory staff to evaluate applicant submittals, - training in the use of those tools, and - development of appropriate inspection protocols and training of inspectors. The specific areas of regulation in which the contractor will be involved include management of radioactive waste, spent fuel management, use of radioactive materials in medicine, industry and research, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and transportation of radioactive materials. Since these relatively new regulatory agencies plan to base their procedures on those in use at the NRC, the selected contractor should demonstrate familiarity with the regulations, policies, technical approaches and procedures of the NRC in the technical areas of interest. The total estimated level of effort required to perform this task order contract is 18 staff-months. Potential sources should provide a letter of interest stating your business size, a capability statement, and resumes showing your capability to perform the work listed above. Respondents should send the requested information to the attention of Ms. Sharlene McCubbin at the above address. Closing date for submission of responses is fifteen (15) day after publication of this notice. This synopsis is not a request for proposal. If procurement ensues, Request for Proposals will be sent only to those sources deemed capable that have responded to the sources sought with capability statements. (0219)
