STATEM5NT OF WORK FOR MODIFICATION #7 TO TASK ORDER #1, JULY 1999 Redirection of Effort in Task Order #1 (Formerly Task Area 2)
A total of 3.5 staff-months effort for 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) shall be redirected to perform the following new tasks:
2.1 (f) (6) Improved Large Model Hydraulic Layout RELAPS decks do not contain any information on how to place components "left" or "right" of one another. Both hot leg and cold leg nodes and many reactor vessel and steam generator nodes lay at the same elevation. So, the automatic layout of imported
$H;ks can end up a confusing mess. Last year, considerable effort went into developing
. heuristic rules which SNAP uses to successfully layout small and medium size models.
For very large and complex reactor system models, the SNAP automatic layout (on deck import) still appears confusing and disorganized. New ideas and algorithms that have been conceived since shall be incorporated to improve layout of large hydraulic models.
Estimated Level of Effort:
1.5 Staff-months Estimated Completion Date:
November 30,1999 2.1 (i) (6) Material / Geometry Property Sets Add the ability to specify material properties and geometries (e.g., schedule 40 pipes) to RELAPS input models in a generalized fashion. SNAP shall also make it easy to select, identify and change the nodes where the same properties are used in an input model.
Estimated Level of Effort:
1 staff-month Estimated completion Date:
November 30,1999 2.1 (i) (7). Improve Table Data Format Certain RELAP5 and TRAC-M inputs are supplied by the user as generalized tables.
The SNAP routines to enter and read these tables worked correctly under UNIX, but did not function as expected under MS Windows. A bug fix allowed these data items to be read in Windows, but some functionality, such as the tab key, no_long work. Use of these' tables is also prone to errors and crashes. Since these routines were originally written, a great deal about subtle timing differences between UNIX /X-Window and PC/MS-Window handling of mouse and key-press events has been leamed. These table entry SNAP routines shall be re-written using this knowledge to make them more robust and easy to use.
Estimated Level of Effort:
1 Staff-month Estimated Completion Time:
November 30,1999 I

New Tasks to be Added to Task Order #1 (Formeriv Task Area 2)
Please~ add the following tasks to the existing ' contact (See Attachment 2).
2.1 (f) (3) Multiple ModelInterface This task shall provide the capability to allow two RELAPS and/or TRAC-M models to be active simultaneously so that users can cut, copy and paste components, or group of components, from one model to the other. In this manner, models and model fragments extracted from the database will be selected for addition to the active model.
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30,1999 2.1 (f) (gColor Coded Status Indication Implement Color Coded Status Indication to SNAP to provide visual feedback to the
- users to quickly identify which nodes need more information and other error conditions which require the attention of the user.
Estimate Completion Date:
. November 30,1999 2.1 (g) (5) Modification and Testing for a new version of the RELAPS Code A new version of RELAPS is scheduled for release shortly. This task shallincorporate the necessary changes made to RELAPS and to perform QA testing using the version of the code that may be frozen at the end of October 1999.
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30,'1999 2.3 Steam Table Upgrading The present steam / water property tables in RELAP5 have deficiencies in the metastable superheated liquid region that results in negative mass errors. In addtion, there are interpolation errors for some superheated vapor states that result in positive mass errors. This task shall provide improvements in both of these areas to create a smoother running code with smaller mass errors and fewer thermodynamic property failures. Necessary QA documents (such as Plan /SDID and completion report) shall be provided as a part of this task witha revised version of RELAPS and the steam table generator programs (stgh2o).
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30,1999 9
Data Bank 2
The NRC/ Reactor Safety Data Bank was created to provide a central, readily accessible repository of qualified results of tests,perforrned in experimental facilities and reactors.
These tests, performed in the USA and foreign countries, are used for computer code assessments and model developments. The Data Bank will also provide a repository for I
input decks of various reactor safety codes that were developed at considerable effort and expense.
The NRC maintains the data bank on our internal high performance computing system.
Existing archive files in the INEL Scientific Data Management System (ISDMS) format
- were converted to the NRC Data Bank Platform Independent Binary (PIB) format.- Test data from additional facilities, such as those necessary for assessment of codes being i
used to study advanced light water reactors were converted and added to the Data Bank. Data from many other facilities have been requested and, if received, will be converted and added to the Data Bank. Associated information, such as facility j
documentation and extensive bibliography were added to the Data Bank. Additionally, W
4 orld Wide Web page was established to disseminate data bank information.
l he objective of this task is to engage an investigator with extensive experience and expertise with scientific programming languages, graphics packages, HTML, UNIX, ORACLE, PC operating systems and NOVELL network software to maintain and enpand the NRC Data Bank. Further, the principalinvestigator must have experience with the j
UNIX operating system at the system administrator level. Such experience should include backup and restoration of file systems and other file system activities.
j Activities to be performed under this task include the following. The period of performance is through 4/23/2001 for all activities. Progress on this task is to be included as part of the monthly and tho quarterly reports required by the contract.
(a)
World Wide Web Site For every experimental test that has either a number or a title, provide one line description of each test beside the number or the title wherever they appear on the NRC Data Bank World Wide Web Site. This information should be obtainable from reports, or it may be necessary to contact the source of the data.
Provide a one paragraph abstract for each facility on the page from which a test may be selected. Provide a one paragraph abstract for each test under the test title or number on the page from which the test data maybe downloaded.
(b)
Data Conversion and Entry Develop a conversion program to convert data from each incoming format to the NRC Data Bank format. Some data that are not readable, such as those from Lehigh University, may have to be scanned from reports. Some data may have to be tracked by contacting their original source. Put converted or scanned data (if data cannot be converted) in the Data Bank. Store the conversion programs 4
developed on the Data Bank for future use to corvert between the same formats.
Add sections for Severe Accidents and Kinetics test data to the Data Bank. Put i
all future converted data in the Data Bank.
