Thank you for your letter dated May 2,1986, expressing an interest in obtaining COBRA-TF (Cycle 10).the Thismost coderecently released was developed version at Pacific of the reactor Northwest analysis program Laboratory (PNL). However, it will be maintained at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) subsequent to October 1, 1986. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is happy to transmit to you a magnetic tape containing the code and a copy of the user's manual provided that the General Electric Company (GE) agrees to the following.

- 2. GE will immediately notify the NRC of any reactor safety problem which may be uncovered through the use of the code, as required by the standard Code of Federal Regulations.
- 3. If GE discovers code errors, GE will communicate these errors to Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL).
- 4. GE will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the
- NRC.
l
- ~ 5. If GE makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification to the code,- these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC.
