SAS4A/SASSYS-1 (SAS) is a simulation tool used to perform deterministic analyses of anticipated events as well as design basis and beyond design basis accidents for advanced liquid-metal-cooled nuclear reactors. In this report, the major developments that were implemented in Versions 5.7 and 5.6 are summarized and an overview of all changes made between versions is presented. SAS Version 5.7 and 5.6 introduced a number of modeling improvements that allow users to capture important phenomena, such as pump heating and metallic fuel performance.
