Attachment B

Special Requirements

All code development activities must follow principles described in NUREG-1737 and adhere to the Programming Guidelines and Design Philosophies as outlined in Attachment D.

All code transmittal packages shall be generated using the buildTransmittal.pl perl script and shall include the following:

SQA documentation Patch files to the TRACE source in diff format Modified source files HTML summary file explaining the nature of the changes and testing Modified test input files (if any) Newly added test input decks (if any) HTML results of the testSummary.pl script (generated for the regression test set) AVScript input files (if applicable) Scripts or programming tools that might have been used/generated in the course of completing the update

If changes to the code manuals are required in conjunction with a particular update, the contractor may be asked by NRC to make those modifications in addition to the SQA documentation outlined in the SOW. Regarding this issue, it is NRC’s expectation that the contractor shall become familiar with the content of each chapter in each manual so that manual changes are applied comprehensively and at a level of detail similar to the content that surrounds the modified or added text. The contractor shall ensure that inconsistencies between various sections of content (either in thought or in nomenclature) are not introduced.

Changes to manuals shall generally be made to the on-line, official electronic files directly. In cases where this practice is either not prudent or not possible, the contractor shall use Framemaker’s built-in change bar feature to call out modifications to make it easier for NRC staff to integrate those changes into the official electronic files at the appropriate time.

The NRC will not consider it acceptable to submit graduate theses as the final product of research. All final assessment reports shall use NRC-supplied Framemaker templates and shall be in accordance with the specifications provided in the Statement of Work.

The development of all assessment input problems shall be accompanied by the

Attachment B development of a calculation notebook that justifies the use of every value provided in the model. For every value, the calculation notebook shall answer the following questions:

What is it?

Why was it chosen?

What was assumed?

How was it calculated? and/or Where did it come from?
