Description
A containment response code (COPTER) has been developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory to evaluate specific models (namely, those which predict the atmospheric conditions in a containment building) of larger codes (such as the MARCH code) that may of necessity consist of simplified mathematical models. The COPTER code accurately solves the ''open system'' energy equation and is a flexible tool for testing and evaluating individual models for adaptation into larger codes. It has also proven useful for independent analysis of containment systems. The COPTER code has been used to evaluate the overall energy balance in the MARCH code and it has been determined that it is accurate to within 10%
