Dear Mr. Symolon:
Thank you for your letter dated June 23, 1986, obtaining the reactor analysis program COBRA-TF (Cycle 10 .was This code expressing)anin developed at Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL). However, it will be maintained at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) subsequent to October 1, 1986. 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 the Knolis Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) agrees to the following.
- 1. KAPL will not release the code software to any third party, unless that third party has also obtained an agreement with the NRC.
- 2. KAPL 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 KAPL discovers code er e s, KAPL will communicate these errors to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL).
- 4. KAPL will make. the nonproprietary results of the code use available to the i NRC.
- 5. If KAPL makes any nonproprietary improvement and/or modification to the code,
, @ these improvements and/or modifications will be made available to the NRC.
o n. Should code improvements and/or modifications or the results of code use, j 5 be determined to be company proprietary, the NRC will utilize its l @8 procedures to protect such information, if it requests to receive it.
na m
I 6. KAPL will provide NRC with a nonproprietary sumary of any proprietary 55E modifications to the code which are developed by including a sumary of gu.$ the impact on representative predictions.
J R$d 7. If KAPL requires PNL's or INEL's assistance to implement and/or use this ma.3 software, the assistance will be given on a cost recovery basis and will be negotiated in a separate agreement with the NRC.
