Level 1 HPC: Organizations approved for Level 1 may only access RELAP5-3D via the INL HPC. Installation on a local computer network is not permitted.
Level 2 Executable Code: Approved organizations receive a RELAP5-3D executable and associated license file to install on a local computer network. Individual users must also be approved before access is granted.
Level 3 HPC Access: Level 3 provides to researchers only access to a restricted set of RELAP5-3D subroutines to incorporate user-developed modifications and generate a corresponding executable. Level 3 access must be negotiated with INL and is limited to the INL HPC.
Level 4 Source Access: Approved organizations receive the RELAP5-3D source code and associated manuals, enabling the organization to generate their own executable and modify the code as needed to internal requirements.
