The numerical predictions from use of the CONTAIN severe reactor accident containment analysis computer code normally take the form of massive quantities of output data. The purpose of the POSTCON computer program is to provide an easy-to-use and efficient method for examining such results. In this report the capabilities of POSTCON are described and instructions for the use of the program are given. In order to clarify the discussion of the input options and output format, several examples are presented including actual input, output, and vector files. The summary sections of this document serve as a user's manual and can be consulted for the construction of simple POSTCON input files. The detailed sections and Appendix A serve as a comprehensive reference manual that can be consulted for advanced POSTCON applications. The overall capabilities of POSTCON include extraction of all transient data from CONTAIN binary plot files, multiple file handling, a flexible unit conversion system, snapshot and histogram options, automatic pagination and labeling of tables, and vector output files for plot program interfacing.
