HECTR (Hydrogen Event: Containment Transient Response) is a computer code that has been developed at Sandia National Laboratories to predict the transient pressure and temperature responses in reactor containments during hypothetical accidents involving hydrogen combustion. The capabilities of HECTR Version 1.0 are described. Example calculations demonstrating the ability of HECTR to model PWR ice-condenser and BWR Mark III containments are presented, along with descriptions of the pertinent models.
