A review of the phenomenology governing the release and transport of fission products in LWR plants in severe accidents is described. Recommended approaches and models for incorporation into the MELCOR code for application in risk analysis are discussed. Major areas of phenomenological uncertainty and modeling difficulty are highlighted.
