ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON P.EACTOR SAFEGUARDS Milton Shaw, Director, Division of Reactor Development and Technology CONTAINMENT RESPONSE ANALYTICAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT - REG:RSR-72 The regulatory staff has immediate need for increased analytical capabili-tiei regarding containment pressure-temperature response analysis. At this tine, the staff is limited to making independent analyses of the peak pres-rar following a LOCA in dry PWR containments and BWR pressure suppression attainments.
In order to adequately evaluate recent applications for certain commercial nuclear power plants, we require additional analytical capabilities for con-telnment response analyses in the following specific areas, starting with the most urgently needed items.
1.
Modification of CONTEMPT-PS to more correctly handle the long term pressure-temperature transients in a containment following a LOCA.
2.
Development of an analytical code to calculate pressure build-up in reactor cavities and other enclosures.
3.
Deveicpaent of a code to calculate the pressure-temperature transients in ice condenser containments.
4.
Modification of CONTEMPT-PS to include bypass flow between the (rywell and wetwell.
5.
Modification of CONTEMPT-PS to handle pressure transients in the air annulus in dual containments.
As the above needs are evaluated, you may determine that some of these tasks can best be performed under the ANC Regulatory Technical Assistance Program even though the tasks are of a code development nature.

We would be happy to discuss these needs with your staff and provide additi specific details as may be required.
