Response Technical Tools User Guide [Manual]
Abstract
Developed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for assessment of reactor accidents, Response Technical Manual (RTM) is a paper-based report which contains simple methods for estimating possible accident scenarios and relevant consequences for different kinds of radiological events. Based on RTM, a software called Response Technical Tools (RTT) was developed by Sandia National Laboratories to convert the paper manual into an automated and easy-to-use code. In particular, the RTT focuses on the nuclear power plant severe accidents and is informed by state-of-the-art analyses and software programs, such as MELCOR and MAAP. RTT evaluations can be used to track and predict, at a very coarse level, the progression of a severe accident in nuclear power plant. The RTT allows a user to track the progress of an accident in a nuclear power plant from the point of initiation through the point of containment breach and release to the environment.
