Evaluation of past nuclear events and CORRAL-2 analyses of fission-product transport at TMI-2 and PRTR

Past accidents and destructive tests may provide information and data for the assessment of current fission product behavior computer codes. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a review of past nuclear events and to present the results of calculations of fission product transport during the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) and the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) accidents using the CORRAL-2 computer code. Various past nuclear events, the state of the art of various computer codes that have been reviewed, CORRAL-2 calculations performed for the TMI-2 and the PRTR accidents, and conclusions reached from this work are summarized.
