Dear Professor Nassersharif:
Thank you for your March 6, letter expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the reactor analysis program TRAC-PFI/ MODI Code.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is happy to transmit to you a magnetic tape containing the code and a copy of the draft user's manual provided that Texas A & M University (TAMU) agrees to the following.
- 1. TAMU will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the NRC.
- 2. TAMU 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 TAMU discovers code errors, TAMU will communicate these errors to the code developers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
- 4. TAMU will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the NRC,
- 5. If TAMU makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification the code, i these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC.
i Should code improvements and/or modifications or the results of code use, i be determined to be company proprietary, the NRC will utilize its procedures to protect such information, if it requests to receive it.
