The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has sponsored the development of theNuclear Plant , , _, ,

Dzte INC. was Bankawarded (NPDB) aforcontract several years at Technology Development of C$lifornia (TDC). SCIENTECH, l

3.0 identification and Significance of the Opportunity The Nuclear Plant Data Bank (NPDB) has been developed as part of the Nuclear Plant Analyzer (NPA) system. To take full advantage of the NPA capabilities, a fully operational version of the NPDB will be required with several nuclear power plant descriptions available to potential NPA users. The SCIENTECH Phase I efforts were to make a complete evaluation of the current NPDB and to provide plant data in an NPDB input format for a generic RESAR-3S plant. In addition, the possibility of developing an automated input deck conversion code was to be explored. These objectives were completed in Phase 1.

The Phase 11 objectives are to determine the minimum RESAR-3S input data set ( for TRAC PF1/ MOD 1, Version 12.3) from the development initiated in Phase I and to enter this minimum data set into the NPDB data system. This will be the first nuclear power plant description in the NPDB that is accurate, supported by data source references, and documented. The second objective will be to develop only the minimum data set blank forms for a 2 hot leg by 4 cold leg (2x4) plant deck for the NPDB. The minimum data set required for a B&W lower loop plant will be chosen because of the current relationship NRC Research has with B&W through the MIST /OTIS program. This should ease the process of establishing contacts to obtain any discussions on plant basic information. If the plant type needs to be reevaluated because of NRC priorities, this could be done. There are two additional benefits that will be gained by these two tasks. First, contacts at both Westinghouse and B&W would be established to demonstrate the virtues of the NPDB and to establish the possibility of these two organizations funding Phase 111 efforts. Secondly, a further evaluation of the NPDB through the actualinput of the trinimum plant data set (task 1 only) will be produced with conclusions and recomrrondations which will further help NRC in its completion of the NPDB project.

The third objective will be to develop a personal computer (PC) NPDB input computer program to provide easier NPDB input procedures for the minimum data set and to perform this effort in a user friendly environment. In addition, an input checking capability will be included to reduce the NPDB input errors. NRC will be funding national laboratories and contractors to input plant descriptions in the future and this package will increase their efficiency and productivity.

"In Phase til non-federal funding will be developed through the cooperative arrangement to support the reactor vendor utilities in adding plant descriptions to the NPDB or through technical support in the use of the NPDB. Contacts at Westinghouse, B&W, and utilities will be developed in Phase ll and these will be used along with the virtues of the NPDB to obtain funding for the Phase til efforts. In addition, separate discussions with Exxon Nuclear, Science Applications International Corporation, and the Japanese Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) have been held and all companies have been very positive about their interest in the NPDB. As of this writing, formal relationships have not been established. However, it is the intent of SCIENTECH,if awarded a Phase 11 contract, to put in place a Research and Development partnership with several of the mentioned organizations contributing the major capital while SCIENTECH would contribute a much smaller amount in return for acting as the managing partner. Potential organizations to provide funding are:

3

!, ( (

i .

Westinghouse, B&W, Combustion Engineering, utilities, and the other companies just i

mentioned. The objective is that the NPDB information developed in Phase I and ll will j be available not only to NRC but to other participating organizations. In addition, NRC

! will have additional resources for developing NPDB plant descriptions through

SCIENTECH INC. In fact, NRC could chose to be a member of the R&D partnership

! formed in Phase Ill.

i 4.0 Background, Technical Approach, and Anticipated Benefits j The Phase I contract award was made for the NPDB Plant Description Development to

SCIENTECH, INC. The Phase I work was to develop, to the extent p assible, a

description of a generic RESAR-3S plant, to perform a detailed evaluation of the l current version of the NPDB and to determine the possibility of development of an automated input deck conversion code. These products were successfully developed l

' and documented in Phase 1. The proposed Phase ll effort will provide an accurate and documented RESAR-3S minimum data set for TRAC PF1/MOF1, Version 12.3 in the NPDB and a B&W lower loop minimum data set, and the development of a PC NPDB input computer program which is user friendly. These three technical objectives have been divided into three work tasks. The first two will require establishing contact at

! Westinghouse, B&W, and utilities to obtain any needed basic plant information. From i this basic plant information the NPDB input data will be developed. The PC NPDB l input computer program will be developed such that it is efficient, user friendly and can J be easily modified to accommodate future changes in the NPDB. It will also run on an j advanced and readily available PC, will be programmed in a computer language j which is common and portable betwee.1 PCs and will have the capability to perform

' input data checks where possible.

All of the above products would significantly increase the usability of the NPDB system i and its flexibility. The NPDB would have a high quality minimum data set for the RESAR-3S plant and a B&W lower loop minimum data set description for a LBLOCA ,

l and the ability.to easily enter data.

L The NPDB provides a significant advancement in the ability to describe plant data, i maintain tracability and provide plant data documentation. Once the NPDB is fully 1 operational, it should be attractive to the nuclear industry-(i.e., Westinghouse, CE, B&W and utilities), other research organizations such as EPRI, national laboratories, and foreign countries. No specific policy issues are expected to.ne'ed resolution

before the start of the Phase ll work or before its completion except SCIENTECH i

assumes any of the TDC material fumished by NRC is non proprietary, etc, unless

} otherwise notified in writing by NRC. In the early part of Phase Ill, the development of i cooperative arrangements will be initiated and will require NRC involvement and approval as the techniques and strategy.to accomplish this are developed. No major j policy issues that are contrary to current NRC policy are expected but protection of certain data in the NPDB system may be required as the users are expanded.

The total estimated costs of Phase ll are given on Standard Form 1411 in Appendix D and will fund four tasks. These tasks are separable and can be funded in total or in selected pieces as shown in Figure 1 and on Standard Form 1411. For example, i Tasks (1), (2), and (3) could be funded separately. These four tasks are: (1) RESAR-3S NPDB Input Development $62,000. (2) B&W Lower Loop Plant NPDB Input l Development $40,000, (3) PC NPDB input Computer Program Development 4

• d i

( <

i

$120,000, and (4) Phase ll Final Report $29,000. The Phase 11 total costs include

computer time for which it has been assumed the LANL computer system will be l' available to SCIENTECH Inc. at the normal NRC rates. It is also assumed that Tasks (1) and (3) would require SCIENTECH to purchase a PC and related peripherals t selected for data input. The PC costs were estimated using an IBM AT and the

! estimated cost including peripherals is also included in the total Phase 11 costs. The

Phase ill costs have been estimated by assuming that a Westinghouse two loop plant, a B&W raised loop and a CE plant would be entered in the NPDB. Using this as the

assumed workscope, the total Phase ill costs are estimated to be $330,000. The 4

Phase lli workscope and cost will be negotiated with NRC at the end of Phase ll.

j Details of the Phase ll workscope, schedules, products being delivered and their i expected benefits are given in the Work Plan and Statement of Work sections.

1 Phase i Summary and Results The purpose of Phase I was: (1) to review the NPDB system in detail, (2) to develop the NPDB input data required for a double-ended large break (LB) LOCA analysis for a RESAR-3S plant to the extent possible using the RESAR-3S Reference Safety Analysis Report and TRAC RESAR input deck as data sources, (3) to perform a technical assessment of the NPDB, and (4) to determine the possibility of developing an automated input deck conversion code. Because the NPDB was found not to be ready for general production use as assumed in the Phase I proposal, the original Phase 1 objectives were modified to those given above. These modified objectives were concurred with by the NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, accomplished and results documented in a final Phase I report to NRC. The results of the Phase I review of the NPDB documentation found toat substantial redundancy of required input data existed. Much of the required input data could be determined from input data for other data sets or other data entries in the same data set. Data entries are not consistent between the Data Set Description and NPDB PWR Blank Form documents or the TDC Zion-1 input deck and the data set entries are not self-consistent within the Data Set Description document. In the development of the data required for a LB LOCA RESAR-3S generic plant model, several difficulties were encountered. This included the lack of definition of the process used to generate a TRAC deck from NPDB data. Therefore, the minimum data set for an LB LOCA plant description could not be determined. Over specification of initial conditions, data unavailability from the RESAR-3S Reference Safety Analysis Report and TRAC input deck which is required by the NPDB and some data entered into the NPDB caused the computer systems to go down. Because not all the NPDB input data could be determined from the RESAR-3S SAR or the TRAC input deck the TDC Zion-1 NPDB input data was used as an additional data source. It was found that the Zion-1 data entries in several cases did not appear to be accurate using engineering judgment or did not match the NPDB input requirement in numerous data sets.

In addition it was determined that the current version of the NPDB was specific for a Westinghouse four loop plant of the Zion-1 type. Other plant types of the Westinghouse, CE, and B&W designs would require modifications of the NPDB input structure and display forms. It was also determined that the NPDB was " hardwired"in several places because of data entry difficulties or design specific data requirements.

This further restricted the NPDB data usefulness.

The Phase I work did produce a detailed list of problems that were encountered for the data entry. In addition the PWR Blank Forms were filled out with data obtained from the RESAR-3S Reference Safety Analysis Report and the TRAC RESAR input deck.

This data was augmented with data from the TDC Zion-1 NPDB input data when required. Also, the potential of development of an automated input deck conversion was determined, but not enough data was developed to determine if it was cost effective. The feasibility in terms of cost and amount of data to be converted would be determined in Phase ll.

5.0 Phase il Technical Objectives The objectives of Phase il are:

1. to complete the input for a RESAR-3S generic Westinghouse power plant for a LBLOCA minimum data set and enter this data into the NPDB

2. to develop the blank forms input format for a LBLOCA that would be required to describe a B&W lower loop plant and document this information for later use by NRC f

j 3. to develop a PC program capable of entering the NPDB data in a user friendly

environment which has the capability of performing data entry checks to the greatest

extent possible i

! 4. to provide complete documentation of the NPDB work in items 1 and 2 and user manuals for the computer codes in item 3. .

i

) 6.0 Phase II Work Plan To accomplish the four objectives specified above, the Phase ll work has been divided

into four tasks

(1) RESAR-3S NPDB Input Development for a minimum data set, (2)

B&W Lower Loop Plant NPDB Blank Forms Data Input Development-only for a

minimum data set LBLOCA, (3) PC NPDB Input Computer Program Development, and (4) Final Phase 11 Report. The timing of each task, start, and the duration are shown in

{ Figure 1. A brief description of each task is given below along with the justification of j start times and proposed duration.

j (1) RESAR-3S NPDB Input Development 1 This task will be to develop an accurate minimum data set RESAR-3S plant description from the task initiated in the Phase I work. All possible NPDB input data

, from the RESAR-3S SAR and TRAC input deck was obtained in Phase I. In Phase ll i

the remaining NPDB input data must be obtained from Westinghouse and a utility l owning a plant most compatible to the generic RESAR-3S input. Collection of the

required minimum data, developing the NPDB input data, entering this information 1.1

) the NPDB blank forms, and checking the. input will be accomplished in this task. Task

(1) will be initiated at the time the contract is awarded. As the first task a procedure will i

be established to obtain the needed information from Westinghouse and the utility 1 through NRC. Basic plant information collection and analysis will then be performed.

i The last efforts will be to develop the NPDB input and provide the documentation 1

! needed. The required workscope in this task has been estimated based on the I 1

amount of information obtained in Phase I and the amount of data expected to be t j entered as part of the work proposed by Los Alamos National Laboratory.

i

8 J

e i The task duration is twelve (12) calendar months. The reason for the long duration is related to the time expected to establish the required interfaces with Westinghouse and the utility. It is expected that at least two trips to Westinghouse will be required and one to the utility. These trips will also be used to demonstrate and discuss the virtues of the NPDB with each organization with the intent of obtaining industrial participation in Phase Ill. If the interfaces and plant information required for completeness of the plant data are easily established and obtained, then the total duration will be much shorter (approximately 3 months shorter). By performing the work on the proposed schedule, this task will also be consistent with the work proposed by Los Alamos.

(2) B&W Lower Loop Plant Blank Forms input Development This task, as proposed, will develop a blank forms input description for a B&W lower loop plant . The goal is to develop a B&W lower loop plant description through the blank forms which has the proper quality control and documentation in preparation for later NRC use. If, through negotiation with NRC,it is determined that because of NRC priorities a Combustion Engineering or Westinghouse plant would be desirable, this task could be redirected with little impact on cost or schedule. The work plan for Task (2) is similar to Task (1) in that some contacts with B&W and a B&W plant owner may need to be established. Again the calendar time is long to provide time for the .

interfaces to be established through NRC to obtain basic plant information. This basic information would be analyzed to help develop the blank forms data which would be needed by the NPDB and TRAC. In addition, the blank input forms data would be documented in a final task report.

A B&W lower loop plant was chosen because NRC has the MIST /3 TIS contract with B&W which should ease the work and negotiation required for obt"ning the any needed plant information. As stated earlier,if Combustion Engineering or Westinghouse plants were chosen, the task could be redirected. The proposed start is delayed about eight months from the time the contract is awarded. The reason for the delay is to help manpower leveling but more importantly, it allows time for experience to be gained with the RESAR-3S minimum data set development. It is assumed that the work currently being proposed in the second phase of the Los Alamos NPDB proposal will be funded and the 2x4 plant configuration (i.e., B&W plant) will be developed early. If this is not the case, the possibility of entering a Westinghouse 2 or 3 loop plant exists.

(3) PC NPDB Input Program Development This task will develop a computer program which can be used on a readily available PC to enter NPDB data in a user friendly environment. The program will allow easy input of data in an interactive mode, perform data checking where possible, and will be consistent with the NPDB develcped under the Los Alamos NPDB proposal. The code will be written in a highly portable language, probably FORTRAN or Basic, for a PC which is commonly available and inexpensive. Both the language and the PC type will be determined early by surveys. This code will allow, in addition to interactive data entry and checking, the ability to review data set input and to obtain a printed output to aid cnecking. Once the data has been entered and checked, the ability to download to a host computer, currently thought to be a CRAY, will be included. This 9

c task is proposed because several problems are known to exist in the TDC PC code.

The most severe problem is that the code would not work with the modified NPDB after the Los Alamos proposed work is completed. in addition, the PC is not readily or commonly available and does not use a common or standard language. The work performed in Phase I demonstrated that the NPDB is not user friendly and that it is expensive to be on line for the time required to enter data. One major requirement of the PC NPDB Input Program will be to design and maintain the feasibility of accommodating new versions of the NPDB as they are developed. It is expected that this updating work to new versions will extend into Phase Ill.

This task will be initiated two months after the contract is awarded and will have a duration of twenty-two (22) months. Again, this task is spread out to allow the work performed under the Los Alamos proposed NPDB to be completed.

(4) Final Phase ll Report This task will provide a final Phase 11 report which will include the results of Tasks 1 through 4, conclusions reached for all tasks and recommendations from the overall Phase 11 work. This task will be initiated 22 months after the contract award and will have a two months duration.

7.0 Phase 11 Statement of Work The four objectives for the Phase ll work are given under the Phase ll Technical Objectives section. To accomplish these objectives, the work has been divided into four (4) tasks which are directly related to accomplishing the four objectives. Figure 1 shows the starting dates, duration of each task, and the total manweeks for each task.

The statements of work for each of the four tasks are given below.

r (1) RESAR-3S NPDB Input Development in Phase I a generic four loop RESAR-3S Westinghouse piant was selected after discussions with NRC's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. A Los Alamos TRAC deck for a plant of this type was available along with the SAR. These references provided the plant data source for the NPDB input. Because of the problems with the NPDB and the amount of data that was requested by the NPDB which was not available for either of the two data sources, a complet9 NPDB input data set could not be obtained. In the proposal from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the RESAR-3S input data obtained in Phase I will be included in the NPDB. This work will not produce an accurste description of the generic RESAR-3S plant. This task, as proposed, will start with the Phase i data and the work completed in the LANL proposal and will produce a minimum data set for a LBLOCA which is accurate and i

documents the RESAR-3S NPDB plant description. This task is divided into four subtasks:

1.1 Obtain Basic RESAR-3S Informstion

1.2 Check the Phase i RESAR-3S NPDB Input Data l 1.3 Complete the RESAR-3S Minimum Data Set input Data

1.4 Documentation of RESAR-3S Plant input Data.

10

• f The work statement for each subtask is given below.

1.1 Obtain Basic RESAR-3S Information Both Westinghouse and a utility owning a plant similar to RESAR-3S will be used as data sources for basic plant information needed by the NPDB. The first priority will be to obtain the minimum data required for a TRAC or RELAPS LBLOCA input deck development. Any additionalinformation that can be obtained will also be included.

First, write a proposed letter for NRC's signature asking Westinghouse for their cooperation. If Westinghouse does not coorperate, the task will be redirected by NRC.

SCIENTECH will not start Task 1 ( except for preparation of the letter) until Westinghouse cooperation is obtained. This will be fo!! owed by a letter defining the specific information required, and by a trip of SCIENTECH staff to obtain this information. It is expected that the information will be in the form of drawings and computer program data listings. Several trips to Westinghouse and the utility are planned.

~

1.2 Check Phase i RESAR-3S NPDB Input Data Once the basic plant information has been obtained, the RESAR-3S Phase i NPDB input will be checked and references obtained. It is estimated that about 30% of the RESAR-3S plant data is accurate and detailed enough to be used in the data bank.

All the Phase i NPDB input data will be checked and referenced to a reliable source of information.

1.3 Complete RESAR-3S Input Data From the information obtained from Westinghouse and the utility, this subtask will calculate the needed NPDB input data to complete the minimum data set required by TRAC or RELAP5. In addition, the other input data required by the NPDB will be obtained to the extent available.

1.4 Documentation of RESAR-3S Plant input Data This subtask will be to provide NRC with a report containing a description of the RESAR-3S NPDB input data, input data listing, and reference where the data was obtained.

The deliverables from this task will be the report written in Subtask 1.4 and the letters to Westinghouse which request cooperation and identify the information needed. The latter can be used by NRC as the basis for the development of a generic letter requesting data for other Westinghouse plants.

i (2) B&W Lower Loop Plant NPDB Blank Forms Development This task will develop the blank forms required for a LBLOCA of a B&W lower loop plant. The minimum number of drawings needed to model the secondary system, l including the control system, will be listed in the tsk results. This task will help prepare

! for the first attempt to enter a LBLOCA description of a 2 hot leg by 4 cold leg (2x4)

! plant into the NPDB in the future. If NRC has a higher priority plant that is needed, the l type could be changed. The reasons 'or selecting the B&W plant are that NRC has a 11

4 contract with B&W and B&W owners in MIST /OTlS programs which should help in establishing contracts to- provide any needed plant information. To accomplish this work two subtasks have been specified:

i 2.1 Develop Minimum Data Set Forms 2.2 Documentation and Evaluation.

Each of these subtasks are described briefly below.

2.1 Develoo Minimum Data Set Forms .

l A B&W lower loop plant will be selected (approved by NRC) and the FSAR obtained as one of the data references. At the same time a proposed letter from NRC to B&W will be developed requesting their cooperation in providing any needed information for the selected plant while the blank forms are being developed. If B & W does not coorporate, the task will be redirected by NRC. SCIENTECH will not start Task 2 (except for preparation of the letter) until B & W cooperation is obtained. Then, a letter will be sent from SCIENTECH to B&W describing the naeded basic plant information and the plant owner will be contacted to provide any specific plant and operational

'~

- information. Several trips to B&W and the owner utility are expected to obtain this basic plant information including listing the minimum number of secondary system and control system drawings needed to model the plant with TRAC PF1/ MOD 1, Version 12.1. As in Task (1), the additional benefits are that the virtues of the NPDB capabilities can be demonstrated for possible Phase ll1 work. The blank forms minimum data set will be developed with emphasis on simplicity, user friendliness, and the minimum data required by TRAC or RELAPS to execute a LBLOCA.

t A Minimum Data Set Book will be developed for primary and secondary systems including control systems. This book is envisioned to be about 30 pages in length of L primary systems data and in addition will contain a minimum list of drawings for the secondary systems including control systems from which at a later date specific information on the secondary and control systems could be obtained. .f.

1 2.2 Documentation and Evaluation .

C7 "A%

The subtask will document the B&W plant input data needed for the blank forms for a minimum data set for a LBLOCA. The documentation will describe any problems I which occurred and possible improvements. A complete set of specific comments and j

4 an overall evaluation will be included in the final task report, (3) PC NPDB input Computer Program Development ,

j Currently, the NPDB input requires the reading of several manuals and long conne '

times to the Los Alamos CRAY computer for the real time input of data. As cur i constructed, the NPDB data input system is not user friendly. Also, if the user is off- ,

i site, the phone bill can be significant and checkout of the data time-consuming onc i

{ the data has been entered. The development of a Personal Computer (PC) NPDB input computer program would eliminate these problems and as proposed, would allow a data checking function. To accomplish this work, the task is divided into five subtasks:

3.0 PC Data Entry Program 3.1 Specification Development, TDC Code Review, and PC Selection 3.2 PC Computer Program Development 3.3 PC Computer Program Checkout 3.4 User Manual and Task Final Report.

12

% , /

The subtask work st:atements are briefly described below.

3.0 PC Data Entry Proaram The PC data entry program will be sufficiently general to accept minimum data sets of geometric and operating data for PWR's as specified by the LANL minimum data set to be furnished to SCIENTECH thru LANL by March 1986. All data will be in English units. The PC specnfications will be approved by NRC before purchase by SCIENTECH.

3.1 Soecification Develooment. TDC Code Review. and PC Selection TDC has developed a computer program that aids a user in input of NPDB data. Little is known about this computer program except that it is used on a Cromenco computer and selected perpherials and that it was developed with TDC funds. Several problems are knowrt which restrict or do not allow its use with the current or future version of the NPDE, since it was developed specifically for earlier versions of the data bank. It does not ccatain the capability for a minimum set of TRAC and RELAPS input.

It is written in a language which is not portable and the program is difficult to modify.

This subtask would develop the specifications for the PC NPDB Input Computer Program, evaluate the TDC code against these specifications, and select a commonly available PC for the computer to be used.

It will be important that the specifications for the input Computer Program be developed before the actual code development is initiated. These specifications will be discussed with NRC and approved. The specifications would include the computer language to be used, code structure, user interface, and format for the CRAY interface file. A survey will be made of available PCs, and a reliable, popular and advanced PC and peripherals will be chosen. The specifications will be used to insure that the PC and peripherals chosen are adequate and that the flexibility exists for further development and modifications.

3.2 PC Comouter Procram Devefooment

~

y This subtask will be to write the new PC computer program. Routines to be developed will be subroutines to: input NPDB data, edit NPDB data, output NPDB data to both a CRT and printer, NPDB data checking, and create data files such that the NPDB can read all the data set inputs and interface with a Tektronix 41158. These subroutines will be written such that they are logical, well documented, and in a standard highly portable language.

1 Before programming begins, SCIENTECH will prepare a functional specification of the data entry system down to the subrourine level describing each subroutine input, processing, and output. In particular, all screens, prompts, and fields will be related to the LANL minimum data set detailed definition. This specification will be reviewed and approved by NRC within one month before programming begins.

If as the work progresses,it is agreed by the parties that a Tektronix 41158 and related perpherials are needed they will be furnished by NRC.

13 PC Comouter Procram Checkout This task will perform a major checkout of the computer program developed in subtask 3.2. Each data set entry, the edit capabilities, and NPDB data file creation will be checked using plant data. Any problem which occurs during the checkout will be 13 l

~

. t noted and corrected. A data file will be created and read by the NPDB and the NPDB data check of accuracy.

3.4 User Manual and Task Final Reoort This task will develop a user manual for the PC NPDB input computer program. The manual will describe the input procedure, computer program structure, data file structure, and program listing. In addition, a final report for this task will be written and submitted to NRC.

The deliverables for Task (3) will be the computer program specifications, PC recommendations, computer program user manual, and final report. This computer program could be provided to all NRC contractors that will use the NPDB to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency for NPDB data set entry.

NRC may exchange and deliver the software in some domestic and international agreements. NRC will have the usual government rights to the software. Pursuant to the provisions and intent of the SBIR (Public Law 97-219) and the Stevenson-Wydler Technology innovation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-480), nothing herein shall be construed to prevent er limit SCIENTECH from commercially developing this product.

.(4) Final Phase 11 Report This task will develop the required Phase 11 final report. It will develop conclusions based on work and recommendations from Task (1) through (3). A part of the report will be to describe how the NPDB technology could be extended to the nuclear community for possible Phase ill funding.

8.0 Facilities / Equipment

'In Subtask 3.1 a personal computer (PC) and peripherals to be used in the development of the NPDB input Computer Program will be selected. If SCIENTECH does not have this PC and peripherals,it will be necessary to purchase them. The expected costs are based on an IBM AT, modem, and digitizer which is expected to be representative of expected cost. Equipment allotment is $8,000.

9.0 Consultants Two consultants were used for Phase 1. One of these, Robert White, who is conveniently located in Idaho Falls, Idaho, will be used in Phase 11.

i 10.0 Related Work Dr. Larry Ybarrondo and Mr. Robert White each have over 15 years of experience in the advanced code development, nuclear power plant design review, plant input modeling, and plant analysis.

Dr. Ybarronco headed the thermal hydraulic code development effort for l

approximately five years at INEL in which both advanced codes and reference codes were developed for NRC. He also headed the LOFT program in which a detailed knowledge of nuclear power plant design was required. Analytical modeling of nuclear power plant systems and review of plant design and performance have been 14

i 4

• actively pursued during his entire career in the nuclear field. Additional details are given in his resume.

Mr. Robert White has been active in the analysis of Westinghouse plants, B&W plants, and LOFT experimental data for over ten years. While he was at INEL, he had a major role in LOFT experimental data analysis and test planning. He has also performed extensive analyses with RELAP4, RELAPS, and TRAC PF1/ MOD 1. In addition, modeling of the LOFT facility for an Evaluation Model (EM) analysis was performed and several nuclear power plant input models were developed.

. Dr. Ybarrondo, and Mr. White have gained valuable experience while performing the Phase I tasks. Their experience will be of great value to SCIENTECH in being confident that Phase 11 can be performed on schedule and within cost. With the experience gained in Phase I, SCIENTECH is probably the most knowledgeable organization in the US outside of TDC. Additional personnel which can be utilized by SCIENTECH for the proposed project are Mr. D. Meier, Dr. A. Stephens, and Mr. H.

Heiselmann. Mr. Meier has extensive main frame, mini, and micro computer experience particularly with software quality control. Dr. Stephens and Mr.

Heiselmann have extensive experience with hardware in nuclear power plants and will be exceptionally valuable in gathering and evaluating the quality of information to be inputted into the data bank.

11.0 Key Personnel 1

The key personnel will be Dr. Larry Ybarrondo who is also the principal investigator, Mr. Robert White, and Mr. Dennis Meier. Their qual.fications and related experience are given above and appropriate resumes have been submitted to NRC as as Attachments 1,2, and 3 of our 26 April 1985 proposal.
