The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is happy to transmit to you a magnetic tape containing the code and a copy of the draft user's manual provided that Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) agrees to the following.
- 1. SRL will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the'NRC.
- 2. SRL 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 SRL discovers code errors, SRL will comunicate these errors to the code developer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
- 4. SRL will make the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the NRC.
- 5. If SRL makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification to the code, these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC.
