Item B-15: CONTEMPT Computer Code Maintenance

DESCRIPTION

The CONTEMPT computer code is used by the NRC staff to perform independent containment analyses. This NUREG-0471[1] task involves the maintenance and revision of the CONTEMPT code to accommodate new containment designs or new problem areas as they are defined.

CONCLUSION

The analysis of containment design is part of the staff review activities during the CP process. Thus, this Licensing Issue should be dropped from further consideration.[2]
