This paper reviews major computer code packages presently utilized or under active development in the U.S. for deterministic liquid-metal fast breeder reactor safety analysis. Although the review covers the very large accident domain from intact predisassembly geometry through radiological consequences, an attempt was made to categorize code systems according to the physical problems solved to provide a working orientation for those not intimately involved in the field. Mathematical and computational aspects were given particular focus in the hope of stimulating development of more efficient numerical approaches in those areas of greatest need.
