Please download the NDA (NDA download link), fill it out, and submit it to NRC at RAMP [at] NRC.gov or you may update your previous NDA to include your code of interest and send it to RAMP [at] NRC.gov.
Note, if you are a member of an Implementing Agreement via your organization, please request the code at RAMP [at] NRC.gov and cc your organization’s Point of Contact.
