Abstract

TRENDS has been designed as a detailed mechanistic code to calculate iodine behavior in containment. However, it is easy to use so that it may be inserted into codes such as MELCOR or CONTAIN. The work remaining on TRENDS before it can be released for general use includes (1) insertion of a routine to calculate pH, (2) insertion of a hydrolysis rate model, (3) optimization of rate constants for an iodine radiolysis rate model, and (4) some improvements in modeling of mass transport of gaseous iodine.
