Abstract

This document is a reference guide for the Event Progression Analysis (EVNTRE) code developed at Sandia National Laboratories. EVNTRE is designed to process the large accident progression event trees and associated files used in probabilistic risk analyses for nuclear power plants. However, the general nature of EVNTRE makes it applicable to a wide variety of analyses that involve the investigation of a progression of events which lead to a large number of sets of conditions or scenarios. The EVNTRE code efficiently processes large, complex event trees. It has the capability to assign probabilities to event tree branch points in several different ways, to classify pathways or outcomes into user-specified groupings, and to sample input distributions of probabilities and parameters.
