Dear Dr. Tuzla:

This letter is in reference to your November 15, 1985 letter expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the reactor analysis program TRAC-PF1/M001. 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 Lehigh University (Lehigh) agrees to the following.

1. Lehigh will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the NRC.
2. Lehigh will imediately 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 Lehigh discovers code errors, Lehigh will comunicate these errors to the code developers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
4. Lehigh will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the NRC.

i

5. If Lehigh makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification to the code, these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC. Should code improvements and/or mndifications l 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. Lehigh will provide NRC with a nonproprietary summary of any proprietary modifications to the code which are developed by Lehigh, including a summary of the impact on representative predictions.

In interpreting the results of your analyses under Items 2 and 4 above, bear in mind that the TRAC-PF1/ 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.
