RETRAN-02 (Revision 2) represents a significant achievement in the development of a versatile and reliable computer program for use in best-estimate transient thermal-hydraulic analysis of LWR systems. The RETRAN-02 computer program is an extension of the RETRAN-01 program designed to provide analysis capabilities for: (1) BWR and PWR transients; (2) small-break loss-of-coolant accidents; (3) balance-of-plant modeling; and (4) anticipated transients without scram, while maintaining the analysis capabilities of the predecessor code. The RETRAN-02 computer code is constructed in a semimodular and dynamic, dimensioned form in which additions to the code can be easily carried out as new and improved models are developed. This report (the third of a four-volume computer code manual) describes the required input, the code output, and shows a number of sample problems run with RETRAN. The three companion volumes describe the theory and numerical algorithms, the programming details, and the verificationa nd qualification performed with RETRAN.
