Dr. Byard D. Wood Arizona State University g g O ESS College of Engineering and Applied Science Tempe, Arizona 85287
Dear Dr. Wood:
Thank you for your January 24, 1986 letter expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the reactor analysis program TRAC-PF1/ MODI Code. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is please to transmit to you a magnetic tape containing the code and a copy of the draft user's manual provided that Arizona State University agrees to the following.
- 1. ASU will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the NRC.
- 2. ASU 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 ASU discovers code errors, ASU will comunicate these errors to the code developers at the los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
- 4. ASU will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the NRC.
- 5. If ASU makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification the code, these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC.
Should code improvements and/or modifications or the results of code use, be determined to be company proprietary, the NRC will utilize its procedures to protect such information, if it requests to receive it.
- 6. ASU will provide NRC with a nonproprietary sumary of any proprietary modifications to the code which are developed by ASU, including a summary of the impact on representative predictions.
- 7. If ASU requires LANL's assistance to implement and/or use this software, the assistance will be given on a cost recovery basis and will be negotiated in a separate agreement with the NRC.
