VICTORIA-92 is a mechanistic computer code designed to analyze fission product behavior within the reactor coolant system (RCS) during a severe accident. It provides detailed prediction of the release from the fuel and transport in the RCS of radionuclides and non-radioactive materials during core degradation. These predictions account for the chemical and aerosol processes that affect radionuclide behavior. Coupling of detailed chemistry and aerosol packages is a unique feature of VICTORIA: it allows exploration of issues involving deposition, revaporization, and reentrainment that cannot be resolved with other codes.This document describes a new version, VICTORIA-92, which was recently released.
