However, excepted and exempted activities necessary to maintain critical health and safety functions—as well as essential progress on designated critical activities, including those specified in Executive Order 14300—will continue, consistent with the OMB-Approved NRC Lapse Plan.

Abstract

The School of Industrial Engineering of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (ETSII-UPM), in cooperation with the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council, has developed a standardised methodology to couple and parallelise scientific codes, by means of the modular general purpose simulation language BABIECA and the Message Passing Paradigm, currently using the PVM library routines. A template suggests how a code must be written to ease the connectivity with other codes through BABIECA.

The connection scheme has been successfully applied to the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code.
