The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear and Facility Safety (EH-32) provides a list of software commonly referred to as "toolbox codes" within the DOE Safety Software Central Registry (Central Registry).
The specific versions of software listed in the Central Registry were evaluated against applicable DOE safety software quality assurance requirements and guidance in effect at the time of their inclusion.
These software codes have been used by DOE contractors to perform calculations and develop data supporting the safety basis for DOE nuclear facilities and their operations, as well as other safety analyses and evaluations.
The following list identifies the specific software versions included in the DOE Safety Software Central Registry.
Inclusion of software on this list does not eliminate the responsibility of DOE sites to ensure compliance with their DOE software quality assurance requirements for their intended use.
| Code | Version | Year Approved | Owner/Developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALOHA | V5.4.4 | 2014 | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). |
| CFAST | V7.1.1 | 2017 | National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). |
| EPIcode | V7.0 | 2004 | Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). |
| GENII | V2.10.1 | 2013 | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). |
| HotSpot | V2.07.01 | 2010 | Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). |
| IMBA | IMBA Expert ™ USDOE Edition V4.0.28 | 2006 | UK Health Protection Agency (HPA). |
| MACCS2 | V1.13.1 | 2004 | Sandia National Laboratory (SNL). |
| MELCOR | V1.8.5 | 2004 | Sandia National Laboratory (SNL). |
DOE conducted a gap analysis to identify differences between the code's existing software quality assurance (SQA) practices and DOE's safety software requirements in effect at the time.
Where applicable, code-specific guidance reports were developed to identify recommended approaches for accident analysis, default input parameters, and special conditions associated with using the software for DOE applications.
Access to the toolbox codes or their use is subject to agreements, conditions and restrictions established by the organization that owns the code.
Inclusion in the Central Registry does not constitute DOE endorsement, preapproval, or qualification of the software for a particular application. Users are responsible for ensuring that the software is appropriate for its intended use and complies with applicable DOE requirements, regulations, and statutes.
