Fuls, G M

A description of the Act-I computer program for the prediction of the containment transient resulting from the injection of high enthalpy liquid and heat during a loss-of-coolant accident is given. A finite difference integration is performed over the time of the transient accounting for heat and mass additions from input tables, for heat transfer to various heat sinks including simulated safeguards, and for leakage from the container to the atmosphere. The output of the FLASH program has been modified to present the data in a readily usable form as input tables of heat and mass addition to Act-I. Some numerical comparisons with existing data are made. (NSA 21: 30177)
