The CONTAIN code is currently being developed for LWR applications. The status of the LWR features and the code testing program will be briefly reviewed. New CONTAIN blind predictions for code validation experiments in the ABCOVE program and the HDR program will be presented, along with CONTAIN comparisons to an NSPP aerosol experiment in a steam environment and to a CSE spray experiment.
