Calculations were performed to study the Ice-Condenser Containment Standard Problem for the NRC Containment Loads Working Group (CLWG). This problem is based on a TMLB' accident sequence. TMLB' denotes a transient-initiated accident in which there is total failure of both ac power and feedwater to the steam generators. MARCH 2 and CORCON Mod2 were used to predict the steam, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide sources. HECTR was used to predict the containment pressure temperature response. The results of calculations include quantitative indications of the sensitivity of containment pressure-temperature loadings to the gas source terms, the ignition criteria, and the magnitude of the steam spike following vessel breach.
