A feasibility study was performed by EG and G Idaho to evaluate the possibility of developing a standalone minicomputer-based workstation that would contain and run the Nuclear Plant Analyzer (NPA). System requirements include the ability to execute the RELAP5/MOD2 and TRAC-BD1 computer simulation codes at real wall-clock time, to view the calculated data using the NPA's color graphics software, and to produce an operational system in three to five years. This study addressed three areas: hardware, software, and simulation models. Estimates of improved performance that could be expected from each area were made, and then the estimates were later combined for an overall estimate of projected performance.
