A code, CACECO, has been written to assist in the analysis of containment situations peculiar to sodium cooled reactors. Typically, these situations involve relatively slow energy release processes and chemical reaction heat. Two examples are given to illustrate some of the code's features. These particular cases illustrate the potential for hydrogen formation in the containment building, but show that time is available to take corrective action. The code is suitable for other problems involving passive heat absorption in massive structures over long periods of time.
