The Institute of Nuclear Sciences "Vinca", Physics Laboratory (090) Beograd, Yugoslavia, through the OECD NEA Data Bank, contributed a newly frozen version of FOTELP. The new release FOTELP-2KG, simulates the transport of photons, electrons and positrons by Monte Carlo method for numerical experiments in dosimetry, radiation shielding, and radiotherapy. It can be used for evaluating efficiency of detectors and counters, for computing the absorbed energy in the layers of microelectronics components, for estimating radiation damage of materials, and for other numerical experiments concerning the mentioned particles. Codes from this package perform calculations in 3D geometry with random spectra of particles having energy in the range from 1 keV to 100 MeV and material region for which geometry can be described by planes and surfaces of second order. FOTELP codes apply transition probabilities from the previous to the following state of phase space which are prepared by the included FEPDAT code. Versions of FOTELP and FEPDAT codes for preparation of transition probabilities are described in the User's Manual.

FOTELP-2KG is operable on the VAX or PC. The MicroSoft Fortran compiler (Ver 4.0) can be used to compile the source files under MS-DOS or Windows. RSICC used the Digital Visual Fortran 6.0 compiler to generate executable files under Windows 2000 Professional, and these executables are included in the distribution package. The package is transmitted in a self-extracting, compressed Windows file which contains the documentation, Fortran 77 sources, executables, and test cases. Reference: NET-87 (June 2001). Fortran 77; PC and Vax (C00581/IBMPC/02).

Tokai Research Establishment, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Tokai-mura, Ibaraki-ken, and the O-arai Engineering Center, Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute, O-arai-machi, Ibaraki-ken, JAPAN, through the OECD NEA Data Bank in France, contributed this package which includes a modified version of the CCC-371/ORIGEN2.1 code along with the libraries from that package plus new libraries, which are based on current reactor designs using the newest nuclear data file JENDL-3.2 developed in Japan. The libraries contain not only one-grouped cross section data but also variable actinide cross sections and decay and fission yield data. Main objectives of the libraries are to calculate isotopic compositions averaged over whole fuel assemblies for the case of LWR and isotopic compositions averaged over a whole core for the case of FBR. Target fuel assemblies are PWR 17×17 type and BWR 8×8 or 9×9 type. Target core and blanket types of FBR are chosen from several considered specifications.  Evaluation of the LWR libraries was conducted by the analysis of latest post irradiation examinations carried out in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. The evaluation showed improved results of many isotopes. Evaluation of the FBR libraries was carried out by the comparison between new and old libraries of FBR. The calculated weights of several isotopes presented large differences. The Japanese developers ran the code under SunOS4, Solaris 2.5.1, RedHat Linux 5.2(j), and Compaq Alpha Tru65 Unix 5.0. It was compiled at RSICC under Solaris 2.6, but test cases were not run.  The package is transmitted on one CD ROM as a GNU compressed tar file, which includes Fortran source files, data libraries, test cases, and documentation.  A Fortran compiler is required to compile the code; no executables are included. This package was erroneously announced in the initial release of our December 2001 Newsletter as DLC-216/ORLIBJ32.  References:  JAERI-Data/Code 2000-036 (September 2000),  JAERI-Data/Code 99-003 (January 2001).  Fortran 77; DEC Alpha, Sun, Linux (C00703/MNYWS/00).

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, contributed version 15a of MARLOWE, dated September 1, 2001. The new package includes some error corrections for the previous release. It also includes Version 3 of TABULA, a program which uses MARLOWE procedures to tabulate scattering integrals and related data.

MARLOWE is a flexible, comprehensive, and highly portable program for simulating atomic collision processes in crystalline solids with the binary collision approximation. It is used to study phenomena governed by such collisions, including the sizes and shapes of displacement cascades, sputtering, ion ranges, ion reflection, and so on. The program has been used for many years on many different computers and is fully supported on Unix, Linux, and Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 systems. Compilers are required on all computers. No executables are included. The GNU f77 compiler can be used on most systems. Fortran 90 and C; Unix and Linux systems; Windows 95/98/NT PCs (P00137/MNYCP/06).

This package was erroneously announced in the initial release of the December 2001 Newsletter as DLC-216/ORLIBJ32.  Because of the inclusion of a modified version of the CCC-371/ORIGEN2.1 code, it will be distributed as a code package.  See the CCC-703/ORIGEN-JENDL32 announcement in this same newsletter.  We apologize for the confusion this may cause our users.

DATE: May 6-10, 2002 
FEE: $1,850 per person with the MCNPTM code package 
         ($1,400 per person without code package)
PLACE: The Canyon School Complex, Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico

Monte Carlo type calculations are ideally suited to solving a variety of problems in radiation protection and dosimetry. This course is aimed at the HP, medical physicist, and rad engineer with no prior experience with Monte Carlo techniques. The focus is almost entirely on the application of MCNPTM  to solve a variety of practical problems in radiation shielding and dosimetry. The intent is to “jump start” the student toward using MCNPTM productively. Extensive interactive practice sessions are conducted on a personal computer. Topics will include overview of the MCNPTM code and the Monte Carlo method, basic concepts, input file preparation, geometry, source definition, standard MCNP tallies, interpretation of the output file, exposure and dose rate calculations, radiation shielding, photon skyshine, detector simulation and dosimetry. The course fee includes a complete MCNPTM code package, distributed directly from the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC). Students will also be provided with a comprehensive class manual and a diskette containing all of the practice problems. This course has been granted 32 Continuing Education Credits by the AAHP, and 4.5 CM points by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. 

The course is offered by the Health Physics Measurements Group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and is co-sponsored by RSICC.  Registration is available online at http://drambuie.lanl.gov/~esh4/mcnp.htm.  Make checks payable to the University of California (checks must be in U.S. dollars on a U.S. bank) and mail together with name, address, and phone number to:  Los Alamos National Laboratory, Group ESH-4, MCNP Class/David Seagraves, Mail Stop G761, Los Alamos, NM 87545.

The classes will be based on MCNP5, that has a tentative release date of April 2002. The code and data package will be available through RSICC at a reduced rate to class participants. The new capabilities of version 5 will be covered. 

The other capabilities on MCNP will also be covered, including: Basic geometry and advanced geometry, Source definitions, Tallies, Data, Variance reduction, Statistical analysis, Criticality, Plotting of geometry, tallies, and particle tracks, Neutron/photon/electron physics.

All classes provide interactive computer learning. Time will be available to discuss individual questions and problems with MCNP experts or to pursue in more detail topics mentioned in the talks. Please note that other classes are offered based on MCNP. The classes mentioned here are the only ones that are taught by the people who develop and write MCNP. 
 

MCNPX is the LANL all-particle, all-energy (eV-TeV) Monte Carlo transport code based on MCNP4C, LAHET, CEM, etc. MCNPX has been been in active development since 1995, sponsored by the particle accelerator community. It has now become an accepted tool for a broad range of applications by nuclear engineers, physicists, and scientists.  The MCNPX development effort has expanded the use of the Los Alamos tools to applications such as APT, waste transmutation, accelerator shielding and health physics, particle beam cancer therapy, space shielding and cosmic ray analysis, Single Event Effects in semiconductors, radiography, and more detailed analysis of the effects of light and heavy ions in matter. In addition, the entire functionality of MCNP4C is retained. New variance reduction and data analysis techniques, many adapted from high energy accelerator methodologies have also been added, such as the extensive 'mesh tally' capability which allows up to 3-d plotting of particle tracks, fluence and fluence-derived quantities, energy deposition, next event estimator generation contributions and particle sources.

All workshops include hands-on instruction generally on PC Windows machines.  Subject to participant export approval for the MCNPX beta test team, participants will be able to access the Fortran-90 version of MCNPX 2.4, the LA150 (150 MeV) cross-section data for over 40 isotopes for incident neutrons and protons, and 12 for photonuclear interactions, and a notebook of viewgraphs. Followup consultation for class participants will be provided.

Classes are taught directly by experienced MCNPX code developers and instructors. More information on course topics and fees can be found at the registration website http://mcnpxworkshops.com.
