Miller, C S

Status of the RELAP5/MOD2 computer code is discussed. While the code is undergoing international assessment, emphasis is on user support and code maintenance with modifications allowed only for error correction and user convenience improvements. User support discussed is the response to user inquiries, maintenance of manuals and the implementation of a PC based newletter service. The major 1986 user convenience improvement is the self-initialization option. The method is discussed and examples for PWR ''U tube'' and ''once through'' plants are illustrated. Future plans are also outlined.
