'.2 Fourth Interim Report
- I a 17 :ov Concerning Computer Program Verification 13; "f,
l:
1 On May 8,1981, Houston Lighting & Power Company (HL&P), curs'uant to M 10CFR50.55(e), notified your office of an item concernino computer pr'o3Th\\
gram (code) verification. The verification methods lacked adequate visi=
bility to the user as to whether or not the program versions in use had been verified. The information supplied in this report represents our Fourth Interim Report concerning this item. This report was previously scheduled to be submitted to your office by June 1, 1982.
As prNiously discussed in our Third Interim Report, a consultant firm was engaged by Brown & Root, Inc. (B&R) to address the appropriateness of the modeling options, acceptability of code usage, and acceptability and adequacy of the methods selected for computer program verification. As a recult of a review by BPC of B&R subcontract activities, BPC recommended that the consultant's work be tenninated to avoid unnecessary duplication of BPC transition reviews of past B&R engineering work. Based on the BPC recommendation and additionally, in recognition that the consultant's scope of work was not dispositive of the comouter program verification issue, HL&P directed B&R to terminate the consultant's work in December 1981 except for preparation of a report covering the work already accom-plished. The consultant has prepared and submitted a report on the work completed prior to contract termination.

A copy of the consultant's report is retained in the HL&P files and is available for in-spection by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC). The next report con-cerning this item will be submitted to your office by September 3,1982.
If you should have any questions concerning this item, please contact Mr. Michael E. Powell at (713) 877-3281.
