Once all the test cases have been run and the results and comparisons have been documented, the code is approved for use by the Manager, Nuclear Analysis. At this point, the code version is archived and passworded and no changes to the source are allowed. If the code has not been reviewed and approved for use by the NRC, it is labeled as a " Developmental" code and is archived to the developmental storage area.

Currently, VIPRE is labeled a " Developmental Code". Developmental codes may not be l used for safety related calculations. If the code has been reviewed and approved for use by the NRC, it is labeled as a " Production" code and is archived to the production storage area. Only production codes may be used for safety related calculations.

Future modifications are handled in a similar manner. All previous test cases are

. rerun to ensure that the original coding is still correct. New test cases are j

developed in addition to the original ones to test all new coding added to VIPRE-01.

Once tested and approved, the new version is archived and replaces the previous version, so that there is only one approved version available for use at any one time.
