The Transient Reactor Analysis Code (TRAC) was developed to provide best-estimate predictions of postulated accidents of light-water reactors. The TRAC-PF1/MOD2 program provides this capability for pressurized water reactors and for many thermal-hydraulic test facilities. The code features either a one- or a three-dimensional treatment of the pressure vessel and its associated internals, a two-fluid nonequilibrium hydrodynamics model with a noncondensable gas field and solute tracking, flow-regime-dependent constitutive equation treatment, optional reflood tracking capability for bottom-flood and falling-film quench fronts, and consistent treatment of entire accident sequences, including the generation of consistent initial conditions. This manual is the third volume of a four-volume set of documentation on TRAC-PF1/MOD2. This guide was developed to assist the TRAC programmer and contains information on the TRAC code and data structure, the TRAC calculational sequence, memory management, and various machine configurations supported by TRAC.
