The MELCOR Plot File Format
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This work provides a detailed explanation of the MELCOR Plot File format. MELCOR is a fully integrated, engineering-level computer code that models the progression of severe accidents in light water reactor nuclear power plants, and it primarily exports its simulation data to a binary file in the Plot File format. This work documents the Plot File's overall structure and the data types of exported information. The process of interpreting and associating time series information with MELCOR's Plot Variables for complete time histories is also presented. The format and meaning of time-independent information, called Special information, is also discussed.
