This study compares in-containment source terms calculated with the MELCOR version 1.8.3 (1.8 PZ) severe accident code with and without the lower plenum debris bed model, also called the BH package. The source terms were calculated for a low-pressure, short-term station blackout severe accident at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, for which a best-estimate MELCOR deck is available.
