## Abstract

This report summarizes the results of research conducted by the University of Maryland to validate a method for predicting software quality. The method is termed the Reliability Prediction System (RePS). The RePS methodology was initially presented in NUREG/GR-0019. The current effort is a preliminary validation of the RePS methodology with respect to its ability to predict software quality (measured in this report and in NUREG/GR-0019 in terms of software reliability) and, to a lesser extent, its usability when applied to relatively simple applications. It should be noted that the current validation effort is limited in scope to assess the efficacy of the RePS methodology for predicting software quality of the application under study for one phase of software development life cycle. As such, the results indicate that additional effort on a "full scope" software development project is warranted.

The application under validation, Personnel entry/exit ACcess System (PACS), is a simplified version of an automated personnel entry access system through a gate to provide privileged physical access to rooms/buildings, etc. This system shares some attributes of a reactor protection system, such as functioning in real-time to produce a binary output based upon inputs from a relatively simple human-machine interface with an end user/operator.

This research gives preliminary evidence that the rankings of software engineering measures in the form of RePSs can be used for assessing the quality of software in safety critical applications. The rankings are based on expert opinion, as described in NUREG/GR-0019. Further validation effort is planned and will include data from the entire software development life cycle of a larger scale software product, preferably a highly reliable application of requisite complexity to demonstrate the efficacy of the RePS methodology to predict software quality of nuclear safety-related systems.

NRC TO MEET WITH UNION ELECTRIC CO. TO DISCUSS

PERFORMANCE OF CALLAWAY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of the

Union Electric Co. on Wednesday, April 7, to discuss the results of the agency’s annual

assessment of safety performance at the Callaway nuclear plant. The facility is located near

Fulton, Missouri.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Capitol Plaza Hotel and Convention Center, 415

West McCarty Street, in Jefferson City. The public is invited to observe the meeting and NRC

officials will be available before the conclusion of the meeting to answer questions from the

public on the safety performance of the plant.

The performance period to be discussed is January 1 to December 31, 2003. In addition,

the NRC staff will provide an overview of how the agency’s Reactor Oversight Process works.

A letter from the NRC to Union Electric Co. officials addresses the performance of the

plant during this period and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion. It is available at:

http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/call_2003q4.pdf.

Overall, the plant operated safely last year, but had a “white” inspection finding, or a

finding of low to moderate safety significance, in the first quarter of 2003. Plant staff failed to

provide tone alert radios to some local residents that were not within emergency siren coverage

areas. A supplemental inspection by the NRC determined that corrective actions taken by Union

Electric to resolve the issue and prevent a recurrence were satisfactory.

The plant also has made progress addressing weaknesses in its problem identification and

resolution program. The NRC plans to monitor the licensee’s continuing efforts in this area

through its baseline inspection program which includes a team inspection specifically in this

area.

 
-2-

With regard to security issues, the letter points out that the NRC has issued several orders

and threat advisories to enhance security capabilities and improve guard force readiness since the

terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The agency has also conducted inspections to review

the implementation of these requirements and has monitored the action of plant operators in

response to changing threat conditions. The NRC will continue security inspections in 2004.

Current performance indicators for the Callaway nuclear plant are available on the NRC

web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/CALL/call_chart.html.

McCOY NAMED NRC SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR

AT VOGTLE NUCLEAR PLANT

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in the Region II office in Atlanta have assigned

Gerald (Gerry) McCoy as the Senior Resident Inspector at the Vogtle nuclear power plant near

Waynesboro, Ga. McCoy had been the Senior Resident Inspector at the Surry nuclear station in Surry,

Va. 

McCoy joined the NRC as a project engineer in the Region II office in September 1997. He was

then assigned as a Resident Inspector at the Surry plant until he was promoted to Senior Resident

Inspector last year. Prior to joining the NRC, McCoy worked as an engineer for ADI Technology

Corp., an engineering firm in Arlington, Va. He also served in the United States Navy as a submarine

officer. 

McCoy holds a bachelor of science degree in physics from Marquette University in Milwaukee,

Wis.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They

serve as the agency’s eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring

significant work projects and interfacing with plant workers and the public.

McCoy joins NRC Resident Inspector Tom Morrissey and Site Secretary Marilyn Evans at the

Vogtle site. The NRC office there can be reached by calling 706-554-9901.

### §1030. Alternative methods of compliance

(a) The Secretary on his own motion or after having received the petition of an administrator may prescribe an alternative method for satisfying any requirement of this part with respect to any pension plan, or class of pension plans (including pension-linked emergency savings account features within a pension plan), subject to such requirement if he determines—

(1) that the use of such alternative method is consistent with the purposes of this subchapter and that it provides adequate disclosure to the participants and beneficiaries in the plan, and adequate reporting to the Secretary,

(2) that the application of such requirement of this part would—

(A) increase the costs to the plan, or

(B) impose unreasonable administrative burdens with respect to the operation of the plan, having regard to the particular characteristics of the plan or the type of plan involved; and

(3) that the application of this part would be adverse to the interests of plan participants in the aggregate.

(b) An alternative method may be prescribed under subsection (a) by regulation or otherwise. If an alternative method is prescribed other than by regulation, the Secretary shall provide notice and an opportunity for interested persons to present their views, and shall publish in the Federal Register the provisions of such alternative method.
