2101 Horn Rapids Road P.O. Box 130 Richland, WA 99352

Dear Dr. Copeland:

Thank you for your letter of February 7,1984 expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the Transient Reactor Analysis Code (TRAC-PF1/M001). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will be happy to transmit to you a magnetic tape containing the code and a copy of the draft user's manual provided that Exxon Nuclear Company (ENC) agrees to the following.

1.

ENC will not release the code software to any third party.

2.

ENC will immediately notify the NRC of any reactor safety problem which may be uncovered through the use of the code.

3.

If ENC discovers code errors, ENC will communicate these errors to the code developers (Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)).

4.

ENC will make the results of the code use available to the NRC.

5.

If ENC makes any improvement and/or modification to the code, these improvements or modifications will be made available to the NRC.

j Should code improvements and modifications, or the results of code use, be determined to be company proprietary, the NRC will utilize l Its procedures to protect such information.

l 6.

If ENC requires LANL 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.

In interpreting the results of your analyses under Items 2 and 4 above bear in mind that the TRAC-PF1/H001 coie has undergone developmental assessm,en 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 acceptance below of these of an appropriate official of your company will indicate items.

If you accept these terms, I will arrange for the l
