RELAP5 is a light-water-reactor system transient-simulation code for use in nuclear-plant safety analysis. Development of a new version, RELAP5/MOD2, has been completed and it will be released to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission during September of 1983. The new and improved modeling capability of RELAP5/MOD2 is described and some developmental assessment results are presented. The future plans for extension to severe accident modeling are briefly discussed.
