This report presents a verification and validation (V V) plan for reactor analysis computer codes used in Technical Specifications development and for other safety and production support calculations. This plan fulfills the commitments by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) to the Department of Energy Savannah River (DOE-SR) as identified in a letter to R.E. Tiller (Reference 1). The plan stresses verification and validation by demonstrating successful application of the codes to predict reactor data, special measurements, and benchmarks. This is in compliance with the intent of the WSRC quality assurance requirements. Restructuring of software especially to achieve verification compliance is not recommended.
