INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE REVIEW OF EPRI REPORT TR-1002865, TOPICAL REPORT ON REACTIVITY INITIATED ACCIDENT: BASES FOR RIA FUEL AND CORE COOLABILITY CRITERIA
Dear Mr. Marion:
By letter to NEI dated August 8, 2002, the staff indicated that it has accepted NEIs request to review EPRI report TR-1002865, Topical Report on Reactivity Initiated Accident: Bases for RIA Fuel and Core Coolability Criteria. During the initial review of this topical report, the staff determined the need to review the FALCON code, because this code is a key component of the development of the proposed RIA safety criteria and it has never been reviewed or looked at by the NRC. Therefore, the staff requests that NEI arrange for staffs access to the FALCON code. This request includes the source code, executable code, methodology, user documents, example input deck, and validation and verification documents.
In order to support the topical report review schedule, NEI/EPRIs timely submittal of this code is needed. If there are questions on this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-2832 or email, pxw@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
