2 RASCAL 4 Released beta version March 1 st Presentation goals: –Highlight the big changes –Demonstrate new capabilities –Discuss the future

A presentation in 4 parts: 1.Data and user interface changes 2.Transport & diffusion, decay, and mixture methods 3.Dose differences & future plans 4.New interface for utilities 3

Data and User Interface Changes What has changed? Why was it changed? How does the change impact results? 4

5 Updated Core Inventory Old core inventory – RASCAL 3 –Taken from NUREG-1228 / WASH-1400 –Selected for early health effects + likely noble gases New core inventory – RASCAL 4 –Based on normalizes SCALE/ORIGEN run –Increased number of nuclides from 33 to 58 –No longer select for early health effects Impact – small changes to source term

Updated Coolant Inventory From ANSI/ANS Old inventory (RASCAL 3) excluded: –nuclides with half-life < 50 minutes, and –noble gases for BWRs New inventory (RASCAL 4) includes all A more complete set; nuclide number increased from 36 to 63 Impact – small changes to source term 6

Improvements to Source Term and Release Path methods BWR release pathways PWR Steam Generator Tube Ruptures Spent Fuel Pool drained 7

BWR release options 8

SGTR Changes 9

Spent Fuel Pool Uncovered 10

Changes in SF Pool New version requires only age of newest batch, total batch count, and times for cooling lost and regained Assumes a 18 month refuel interval and cladding fire if not cooled for 2 hours Release over 24 hours unless recooled Impact – generally smaller source terms 11
