## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive has awarded a contract titled "Support on Accident Chemistry for UK HPR1000," falling under the research and development services industry category. Located in Bootle, England, this contract is part of the services procurement category and was initiated through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract has a total value of £82,185 and spans from 29 April 2019 to 29 February 2020. The tender process concluded on 6 March 2019, with the award date recorded as 24 April 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy and advisory services related to nuclear safety, particularly those with expertise in accident chemistry and pressurised water reactors (PWRs). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, leveraging their innovative solutions and relevant experience. As this contract relates to ongoing assessments of safety measures for the UK HPR1000 design, companies capable of providing independent, expert advice in this field will find a strong alignment with the contract requirements.

## Notice

The purposes of this contract are to provide ONR with independent advice on the safety significance of relevant accident chemistry effects, which are applicable to the UK HPR1000 design. This should include consideration of the latest standards, guidance and relevant good practice regarding the accident chemistry of pressurised water reactors (PWRs). Furthermore, the contractor will need to provide on-going expert advice and support to ONR in its assessment of the accident chemistry aspects of the UK HPR1000 generic design and safety case during Step 3 of GDA. During Step 3 of GDA, the main focus of this work will be fission product behaviour and mitigation, LOCA and SG Tube Rupture, however, it is understood that this will include, by necessity, some reference to the other chemistry-relevant aspects considered below. The contractor is required to identify, evaluate and collate the latest available guidance, standards and relevant good practice (RGP), as applicable to the accident chemistry of PWRs. ONR commissioned similar studies during the GDAs of UK EPR(tm) and AP1000(r). They should be considered as the baseline for this activity. The TSC is expected to take that work as one of the inputs and together with their own skills, knowledge, experience and resources etc., focus on providing either brief confirmatory statements regarding the current applicability of that already established baseline, or explain any gaps between the latest approaches in PWR accident chemistry and the baseline, including commentary on their likely overall significance, as appropriate.
