Title: TRACE: an accident consequence evaluation program for use in emergency planning

Abstract

In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, it would be very useful to recognize in an early stage of the accident, potential releases of radioactive materials. The selection and implementation of the most effective and practical emergency plan requires a realistic projection of the quantities of the different radionuclides liable to be released, the time available before the release commences, and the expected duration of the release. The time-dependent and realistic accident consequence evaluation (TRACE) is a software package capable of rapidly evaluating the range of releases associated with potential plant accidents, in a predictive way, and on a realistic and time-dependent basis. It provides the plant staff adequate and necessary information for consideration of emergency response plan activation.
