The HECTR (Hydrogen Event: Containment Transient Response) code is a reactor accident analysis tool designed to calculate the transport and combustion of hydrogen and the transient response of the containment. It was developed to meet urgent NRC licensing needs and continues to be a major tool for predicting both local and global conditions during combustion sequences. It has been successfully applied to BWR Mark III, PWR ice condenser, and PWR large dry containments. In this paper, the development of a diffusion flame model and HECTR analyses of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) premixed hydrogen combustion experiments are discussed.
