The role of SCALE in the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) is defined according to the Five-Year Plan, and summarized as follows. 1. Sustain/improve SCALE NCS features through user driven enhancements, software quality assurance (SQA) and validation and verification (V&V). 2. Assure adaptability to various computing platforms and compilers. 3. Improve user interfaces/documentation consistent with modern engineering software. 4. Support responsive communication to SCALE criticality safety users through SCALE Newsletters, email notices, and updates on the SCALE website. 5. Modernize software infrastructure and capabilities to improve quality and reliability and to ensure long term sustainability of the NCS capabilities. This paper describes the specific activities which have been performed within each area above for the NCSP in the fiscal year (FY) 2018, from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018.
