Dear Mr. Schomaker:

Thank you for your letter of January 30. 1984 expressing an interest in obtaining the most recently released version of the Transient Reactor AnalysisCode(TRAC-PFl/ MOD 1). 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 Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) agrees to the following.

1. B&W will not release the code software to any third party.

2. B&W will imediately notify the NRC of any reactor safety problem which may be uncovered through the use of the code.

3. If B&W discovers code errors. B&W will communicate these errors to the code developers (Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)).

4. B&W will make the results of the code use available to the NRC.

5. If B&W makes any improvement and/or modification to the code, these improvenents or modifications will be made available to the NRC. Should code improvenents and modifications, or the results of code use, be determined to be company proprietary, the NRC will utilize its procedures to protect such information.

I

6. If B&W requires LAHL 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.
