81 FE81986 Dr. Joe T. Ching Energy Engineering Computer Code Laboratory 7107 Norfolk Road Berkeley, California 94705
Dear Dr. Ching:
Thank you for your letter of January 15, 1986, expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the reactor analysis program TRAC-PF1/ MOD 1 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 the Energy Engineering Computer Laboratory (EECCL) agrees to the following.
- 1. EECCL will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the NRC.
- 2. EECCL 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 EECCL discovers code errors,' EECCL will communicate these errors to the code developers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
- 4. EECCL will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the NRC.
- 5. If EECCL 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. EECCL will provide NRC with a nonproprietary summary of any proprietary modifications to the code which are developed by EECCL, including a summary of the impact on representative predictions.
- 7. If EECCL requires LANL's assistance to implement and/or use this software, the assistance will be civen on a cost recovery basis and will be n gotiated in a separate agreement with the NRC.

2 In interpreting the results of your analyses under Items 2 and 4 above, bear in mind that the TRAC-PFl/ MODI code has undergone developmental assessment, but the independent assessment of the code has not yet been completed. We do not warrant the accuracy of the results for any particular use or application.
The signature below of an appropriate official of your company will indicate acceptance of these items. If you accept these tenns, I will arrange for the transmittal of the tape and draft user's manual to the above address. Please feel free to contact Mr. Harry Tovmassian [(301) 427 44363 should you have any further questions.
It is understood that the recipient institution will pay a fee not to exceed
$300 for LANL's preparation costs and for shipping and handling charges for the tapes and manuals.
Sincerely, OR1htNSE S'SM M' Louis M. Shotkin, Chief Reactor Systems Research Branch Division of Accident Evaluation I hereby agree to the items outlined in Items 1 through 7 of this letter.
