ERPRA-BURN(© 1992-2001 Energy Research, Inc.) is a WINDOWS-based program for calculation of pressurization loads resulting from hydrogen and carbon monoxide combustion (i.e., deflagration), including the determination of the conditional containment failure probability, using the stress-strength interference concept, and a Monte Carlo sampling technique. The program has been benchmarked against several combustion experiments, and it is an excellent tool for parametric study of hydrogen and carbon monoxide combustion, and assessment of early and late containment failure probabilities. It provides users sufficient flexibility to assess the impact of combustion parameters such as:

• Mass and composition of pre-burn gas mixtures
• Initial (pre-burn) steam concentration
• Combustion completeness
• Impact of inert gases
• Impact of oxygen depletion on the combustion outcome.
