October 8, 2002 Mr. Jeff Circle Senior NSA Engineer II Entergy Nuclear Northeast 440 Hamilton Avenue - Ms11B White Plains, NY 10601
Dear Mr. Circle:
Per your request, enclosed is a compact disk containing the Level 1, Revision 3 Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for Indian Point 3 and the SAPHIRE 6.75 suite of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) computer codes. Also enclosed is a copy of the users manual for the Indian Point 3 SPAR model. The SAPHIRE code suite is required to perform analyses with the Revision 3 SPAR model. Both of these software packages are in the form of executable files that can be run directly from the compact disk. These items are for your organizations use only and are not to be distributed further without the consent of the NRC.
Also please note that the information contained in the SPAR model is considered sensitive and should be treated accordingly.
The Revision 3 SPAR model for Indian Point 3 has been reviewed with your PRA staff and benchmarked against your PRA model for the plant. Subsequent to this review and benchmarking, the SPAR model: (1) was revised to address comments and issues identified during the review, (2) now yields results which are in reasonable agreement with those produced by your PRA model, and (3) has no associated outstanding modeling issues. For these reasons, we are certifying that the Indian Point 3 SPAR model meets all Revision 3 SPAR model quality assurance (QA) criteria and is therefore acceptable for unrestricted use by your staff analysts.
Questions about the model should be directed to Mr. Robert Buell of the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) at (208) 526-9400 (rbuel@inel.gov).
Questions about the SAPHIRE code suite should be directed to Mr. Ted Wood, INEEL, at (208) 526-8729 (stw@inel.gov). Comments and suggestions may also be directed to either of these gentlemen or to Dr. Patrick OReilly, NRC project manager for SPAR model development, at (301) 415-7570 (pdo@nrc.gov).
