This method uses the results of calculations based on a theory for modeling diverging detonations in a random choice method hydrodynamics code. We employ the procedure described herein to model a spherically symmetric explosion of Comp-B and compare to experimental results. The effects of variations in reaction rate parameters is also explored. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{diverging detonation problems; random choice method; spherically symmetric explosion of Comp-B} \itemli{} \end
