William C. Hopkins, ANS member since 1975, was awarded the Standards Service Award. Hopkins, of Bechtel Power Corp., was recognized for "his outstanding contributions to the society's Standards Committee, particularly for his leadership as chairman of ANS-6, Radiation Protection and Shielding, and for his dedicated services as a member of N17 and the Standards Steering Committee."
 

Professor Emeritus Allan F. Henry, 76, of nuclear engineering, who came to MIT as a visiting professor in 1968 and stayed for 32 years, died of kidney failure at the MIT infirmary on January 28.

Professor Henry earned the BS in chemistry (1945), and the MS (1947) and PhD (1950) in physics, all from Yale University. Upon graduation from Yale, Professor Henry volunteered to drive an ambulance with the British troops in India after knee injuries precluded him from serving in the US Army. After the war, he joined the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory as a senior scientist. From 1954-69 he was the manager of reactor theory and methods at Bettis.

Professor Henry, who developed mathematical models to describe neutron behavior in reactors, retired in 1995 but continued to teach until 1999. He was a member of the American Nuclear Society and wrote the book Nuclear Reactor Analysis (MIT Press, 1975). He chaired the Department of Nuclear Engineering Committee on Graduate Students and served on the Committee on Graduate School Policy.

A Boston resident, Professor Henry twice won the Outstanding Teacher Award in nuclear engineering (1974 and 1986). He received the E.P. Wigner Award from the American Nuclear Society and the Technical Achievement Award from the Reactor Physics and Mathematics and Computation Division of the American Nuclear Society, both in 1992.

He was a fellow of the American Nuclear Society and served on its board of directors. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1985 and served on advisory boards to several national laboratories.

Born in Philadelphia on January 12, 1925, Professor Henry was an accomplished classical pianist as a child, receiving several awards for his artistry, including the Pressor Award and the Chopin Award.

He is survived by two brothers, E. James Jr. of Dallas and Thomas H. of Huntington, WV. His family suggests donations in his honor be made for a worthy student in the Department of Nuclear Engineering. An MIT memorial service will be scheduled for the spring.

CCC-684/NRCDose 2.2.3

OP SYS: Windows
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Pentium
Format: DOS

J. Stewart Bland Associates, Inc., Annapolis, Maryland, contributed this suite of NRC's computer codes (LADTAP II, GASPAR II, and XOQDOQ) used for evaluating routine radioactive effluents from nuclear power plants with a WINDOWS interface to facilitate ease of use. NRCDose 2.2.3 is intended for modeling routine, normal effluents under annual average environmental conditions and should not be used for accident dose assessment. The liquid pathway dose assessments of the LADTAP II code are based on the modeling presented in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I." GASPAR II, the gaseous pathway dose assessment, is also based on Regulatory Guide 1.109 modeling. XOQDOQ, presenting the meteorological dispersion calculations, is based in the modeling of Regulatory Guide 1.111, Rev. 1, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors." The technical references for these programs are NUREG/CR-1276 "User's Manual for LADTAP II;" NUREG/CR-4653 "GASPAR II - Technical Reference and User Guide;" and NUREG/CR-2919 "XOQDOQ: Computer Program for the Meteorological Evaluation of Routine Effluent Releases at Nuclear Power Stations."

NRCDose runs on IBM PC Pentium type computers. The distributed executables runs under the Windows operating system, and Fortran source files are not included. References: User's Guide (November 14, 2000); NUREG/CR-4653, PNL-5907 (March 1987); NUREG/CR-1276, ORNL/NUREG/TDMC-1 (March 17, 1980); NUREG/CR-2919, PNL-4380 (September 1982).

CCC-700/MCNP4C

OP SYS: Unix, DOS
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Workstation, Pentium
Format: Tar, DOS

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, recommended an update to MCNP4C, which is a general-purpose, continuous-energy, generalized geometry, time-dependent, coupled neutron-photon-electron Monte Carlo transport code system. The install.fix file was replaced, so that a desired datapath may be added and MDAS (length of storage for the static memory option) may be changed with the MCNP installation feature. Unix users may download the revised install.fix file from the developer's website at LANL or from the MCNP4C electronic notebook on the RSICC web site:

http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/enote.pl?nb=mcnp4c&action=view&page=44
   (This link was revised on March 2, 2001, after hard was copy sent to printers.)

The Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 Compiler Release 5.50d was used to build MCNP executables with MDAS=4,000,000, MDAS=8,000,000 and MDAS=32,000,000.

MCNP is operable on Cray computers under UNICOS, workstations or PC's running Unix or Linux, Windows NT/9x PC's, and Vax computers under VMS. Compilation requires both Fortran 77 and ANSI C standard compilers. The source can be compiled with g77 on PC's running Red Hat Linux. RSICC tested this release on several Unix workstations (IBM RS/6000, Sun, HP, DEC, and SGI); on a Pentium III running Redhat Linux Version 6.1; on a Pentium II in a DOS window of Windows 98 with Digital Visual Fortran Professional Edition 6.0A Fortran 90 compiler with QuickWin plots; and on a Pentium II with Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 Version 5.50 compiler with Winteracter Starter Kit.

The electronic documentation, source codes, test problems, executables, and installation scripts are distributed on CD-ROM and can be read under either Windows or UNIX operating systems. As a convenience to users, the DLC-200/MCNPDATA library is included on the distribution media. The cross sections are in ASCII mode in the Unix file and in binary mode for PC Windows users. The package is transmitted on CD in both Unix and DOS compressed formats. References: Readme.txt (April 2000) and LA-13709-M (April 2000).

CCC-705/MCNPX™ version 2.1.5

OP SYS: Unix, DOS
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Workstation, Pentium
Format: Tar, DOS

A Windows version of the Monte Carlo n-particle transport code system for multiparticle and high energy applications was added to the MCNPX Unix package. MCNPX was developed by the Accelerator Production of Tritium Technical Project Office, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Tom Jordan of Experimental Physics and Mathematics Consultants converted the LANL MCNPX Unix programs to create a Windows PC version and contributed it to RSICC. The MCNPX code developers at LANL use Unix (including Linux) systems and are not familiar with the Windows implementation, so no support from the LANL developers is available for the Windows application.

The official date of the programs in this release of MCNPX 2.1.5 is "Thu Mar 16 17:31:45 MST 2000." MCNPX extends the CCC-660/MCNP4B code to all particles and all energies. Neutron tabular data are used as in MCNP4B; above the table energy limits, physics modules are used. Current physics modules include the Bertini and ISABEL models taken from the LAHET Code System (LCS) and CEM. An old version of FLUKA is available for calculations above the range of INC physics applicability.

MCNPX executes on many computers running Unix operating systems. The Lahey F90 Version 4.50 compiler was used to create the executables included in the new Windows version which has run under Windows95, Windows98, WindowsNT4/sp3, and Windows2000. Source files for the Windows version are not distributed. At RSICC the executables were tested on a Pentium III running Windows NT4, Service Pack 6. The package is transmitted on one distribution CD which contains full source code for the MCNPX Unix system and test sets for each of the supported architectures in a compressed Unix tar file. The PC executables and test cases are included in self-extracting compressed DOS files. The DLC-205/MCNPXDATA library is included on the MCNPX distribution CD as a convenience to users.

PSR-506/GAMANAL

OP SYS: VMS
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Vax
Format: DOS

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, California, through the OECD NEA Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed this code system for computerized quantitative analysis by gamma-ray spectrometry. GAMANAL provides a complete qualitative and quantitative analysis of mixtures of radioactive species such as fission products by computer interpretation of high-resolution gamma-ray spectra. The program first determines and removes the background or Compton continuum under the peaks in a spectrum to locate the peak regions. This is done by examining the pulse-height spectrum data for background and peak regions and then fitting these data with the proper shape functions. When determining the photon emission rate, corrections are made for the effects of geometry, attenuation, and detector efficiency. Nonlinearities in the equipment are taken into account in setting up the energy scale.

GAMANAL was tested on a VAX-11/780 under VMS V4.4 in 1988 and was not tested when it was contributed to RSICC in February 2001. A Vax Fortran 77 compiler is required. The source files in this package will require modifications to run on other computers. The package is transmitted as a self-extracting compressed file on a DS/HD diskette, which contains the Fortran source and sample problem. After file decompression, there are 230 files that are about 1.79 MB. References: UCRL-51061, Vol. I (March 1972) and UCRL-51061, Vol. IV (June 1972).

Two data libraries of the collection were updated during the month.

DLC-200/MCNPDATA

OP SYS: Unix, DOS
Language: N/A
Computers: Workstation, PC
Format: Tar, DOS

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, contributed a revision to URES, which is included this comprehensive set of cross sections for a wide range of in radiation transport applications for use with the Monte Carlo code package CCC-700/MCNP4C.

URES is a neutron cross-section library for MCNP and MCNPX that includes probability tables to represent unresolved resonances. Processing problems were found for 6 of the isotopes in URES: W-182, W-183, W-184, W-186, Th-232, and U-238. The problems would impact coupled neutron-photon calculations; neutron only problems would not be affected. An updated version of URES, named URESA, has been prepared. For the 6 isotopes listed above, the photon-production data were deleted, and the ZAID's were changed from .49c to .48c. Users should note that the heating (energy-deposition) data are now inconsistent for these isotopes and should not be used. The other 21 isotopes have simply been copied over intact from URES to URESA and their ZAIDs remain .49c. All of the data on URESA will be superseded by data on the ENDF66 library, a major new release planned for later in 2001.

All data libraries in the Unix tar file are in ASCII format and can be used with MCNP4C on all computer platforms supported by the code. Files distributed in compressed mode on the distribution CD can be read under either Windows or Unix. A self-extracting compressed file for Windows users contains both the MCNP4C code system with executables and cross-sections from MCNPDATA in binary format for PC users. Expanding the code system (50 MB) and binary cross section libraries (360MB) under Windows requires ~410 MB of hard disk space. Unix users need more because the ASCII cross sections require 880 MB of hard disk space.

DLC-205/MCNPXDATA

OP SYS: Unix, DOS
Language: N/A
Computers: Workstation, PC
Format: Tar, DOS

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, contributed a revision to URES which is included in this package of standard neutron, photon, and electron data libraries for use with MCNPX. DLC-205/MCNPXDATA is for use with MCNPX and can be used with Version 4B, 4C and later of the MCNP transport code. This data package provides a comprehensive set of cross sections for a wide range of radiation transport applications using the MCNPX Monte Carlo code package.

As noted in the announcement of DLC-200/MCNPDATA above, URES was replaced with a revision designated URESA. Note that MCNPX does not currently use the probability tables. Previously the MCNPXDATA package was available only in tar format. A Windows version of MCNPX 2.1.5 is being released this month, so the ASCII MCNPDATA libraries were downloaded for use with the new PC release.

All data libraries are distributed in compressed mode. Expanded files are in ASCII format and can be used with MCNPX on all computer platforms supported by the code. The data are distributed on CD in a GNU compressed tar file and in a self-extracting compressed file for use under Windows on PC. References: The following documents are distributed in electronic (PDF) form with the package: Revised Appendix G of the MCNP4C manual, README (August 2000), LA-12891 (1994), X-6:HGH-93-77 (revised 1996), XTM:95-259 and LA-UR-96- 24 (1995), X-6:RCL-87-225 (1987), XCI-RN(U)98-041, LA-UR-98-5718, (December 1998), XTM:96-153 (April 1996), and XCI:CJW-99-25 (April 1999).

The aim of the school is to bring together fundamental issues of nuclear radioactivity and nuclear astrophysics as well as some of the technological applications. The indicators show that sciences with a strong social impact will occupy a predominant position in the turn of the century. Nuclear physics is one of the branches of science that is expected to play an important role in this new era. On the other hand, astrophysics has always been an attraction to the human mind. Here, nuclear physics has an essential part. It is thus timely that the nuclear physics community participates actively, either addressing fundamental questions, or applying its knowledge to astrophysics and practical aspects of our society.

There will be a set of invited talks, addressing the most burning issues within the topics of the school, in a format that will allow the participant to get acquainted with some basic ideas, and simultaneously learn about the most recent developments. There will also be some invited seminars and selected short contributions.

A one-page abstract, in LaTex form, is required for the selection of oral contributions. It must be sent by e-mail to NRAD2001@CFIF.IST.UTL.PT. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is June 1. The final decision will be communicated before June 30. The registration fee is 35 000 PTE. It includes coffee breaks, the welcome reception, the school banquet and a copy of the proceedings. Payment must be done on arrival. The deadline for registration is July 31. More information on the school is available on the web at: http://cfif.ist.utl.pt/~nrad2001.
 

Introductory classes are for people who have little or no experience with MCNP. The classes survey the features of MCNP so the beginning user will be exposed to the capabilities of the program, and will have hands-on experience at running the code to solve rudimentary problems. Course topics include Basic Geometry, Source Definitions, Output (Tallies) Specification and Interpretation, Advanced Geometry (repeated structures specification), Variance Reduction Techniques, Statistical Analysis, Criticality, Plotting of Geometry, Tallies, and Particle Tracks, and Neutron/Photon/Electron Physics.

NOTE: While MCNP supports a number of platforms, class computers are usually Unix machines. Experience with Unix will be helpful to the student but is not essential.

Costs For Domestic U.S. Classes: Cost for the class is $1,800. There is a $300 discount if payment is received by the close of registration/early payment deadline for each class. Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) provides the code and data package and documentation for a reduced fee of $310 to all who complete the class and free to students employed by sponsors that fund RSICC.

The class fee includes a notebook with all class viewgraphs (over 300) and handouts. Dinner the first evening is included as part of your registration fee and snacks and refreshments are provided during class breaks. Lodging will be available for roughly $75 per night. Information will be sent by follow-up letter or email when we receive your registration information.

All classes provide interactive computer learning. Time will be available to discuss individual questions and problems with MCNP experts.

The Los Alamos MCNP code is a general and powerful Monte Carlo transport code for photons, neutrons, and electrons. MCNP can be safely described as the "industry standard" with more than 600 person-years of development effort behind it. It is supported on a variety of platforms and is now accessible to Health Physicists, Medical Physicists, and Rad Engineers using desktop or laptop personal computers. This 4.5 day course introduces the basic concepts of Monte Carlo, demonstrates how to put together a MCNP input file, and illustrates some health and medical physics applications of the code. No prior knowledge of Monte Carlo is assumed.

MCNP is ideally suited to the needs of professionals interested in performing radiation shielding and skyshine calculations, detector simulation studies, or dosimetry. With a little practice and study of the examples, many will find they are able to solve problems that have, in the past, been out of reach. Problems that involve a complex geometry can be easily solved using MCNP (e.g., designing a maze entrance to a radiation room). Calculations are based on detailed physics models and very accurate cross section tables that require no energy group compromises to be made.

A copy of the MCNP code package is included in the price of the course. Your copy of MCNP will be provided directly from the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) at Oak Ridge. Only RSICC is authorized to distribute licensed copies of the MCNP code package. All of the input and output files for the class demonstrations will be provided for self-study on a diskette. The course will focus on providing a practical boost toward learning the program and guiding the student toward useful applications. Extensive practice sessions are scheduled using a personal computer in class.

The course will be taught by Dick Olsher and David Seagraves of the Health Physics Measurements Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory. Additional staff help will be provided by members of the Health Physics Measurements Group. Students will 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.
 
 

The Visual Editor is a powerful visualization tool that can be used to rapidly create complex Monte Carlo N Particle (MCNP 4C) geometry models, including lattices, universes, fills, and other geometrical transformations. The Visual Editor can:

Display MCNP 4C geometries in multiple plot windows.
Create surfaces and cells to build a geometry.
Create materials using the local xsdir file.
Store commonly used materials in a material library.
Sub-divide large cells into smaller cells.
Full geometry capabilities including universes and lattices.
Interactively set cell importances from the plot window.
Display source points and collision points in the plot window.

A three-day class is to be held October 8-10, 2001, in Richland, Washington. This class will only focus on the use of the visual editor. Users should already be familiar with the use of MCNP. Computer demonstrations and exercises will focus on creating and interrogating input files with the Visual Editor. Demonstrations of advanced visualization work using MCNP will also be made. The class will be taught on Pentium computers running the Linux operating system or Windows NT version if it is working by then. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own input files for viewing and modifying in the visual editor. Further information on this class can be located at: http://www.pnl.gov/eshs/software/ved/class2.html, or by contacting: Randy Schwarz at 509-372-4042 or email: randy.schwarz@pnl.gov.
 

Class size is limited and courses are subject to cancellation if minimum enrollment is not obtained one month prior to the course. Course fees are refundable up to one month before each class. Classes are cosponsored by RSICC. Foreign nationals must register at least six weeks in advance. For further information, contact Kay at 865-574-9213 or visit the web, http://www.cped.ornl.gov/scale/ trcourse.html.

SCALE Shielding and Source Terms Course (April 23-27, 2001) and (October 15-19, 2001)

The SCALE Shielding and Source Terms Course emphasizes SAS2 and ORIGEN-ARP (depletion/source-term generation) and SAS3 and SAS4 using MORSE-SGC (3-D Monte Carlo neutron/gamma shielding). It also covers SAS1/XSDRNPM (1-D neutron/gamma shielding) and QADS/QAD-CGGP (3-D point kernel gamma shielding).
 

SCALE KENO-VI Criticality Course (April 30-May 4, 2001)

The SCALE KENO VI Criticality Course focuses on KENO VI and the associated criticality analysis sequences in CSAS6. KENO VI is the latest version of the KENO Monte Carlo criticality safety code. KENO VI contains a much larger set of geometrical bodies than KENO V.a, including cuboids, cylinders, spheres, cones, dodecahedrons, elliptical cylinders, ellipsoids, hoppers, parallelpipeds, planes, rhomboids, and wedges. The flexibility of KENO VI is increased by allowing the following features: intersecting geometry regions; hexagonal as well as cuboidal arrays; regions, holes, arrays, and units rotated to any angle and truncated to any position; and the use of an array boundary that intersects the array. Users should be aware that the added geometry features in KENO VI can result in significantly longer run times than KENO V.a. A KENO VI problem that can be modeled in KENO V.a will typically run four times as long in KENO VI as in KENO V.a. Thus the new version VI is not a replacement for the existing version V.a, but an additional version for more complex geometries that could not be modeled previously. Two-dimensional color plots of the geometry model can be generated in KENO V.a, or the model may be viewed using the KENO3D 3-D visualization tool.
 

SCALE KENO-Va Criticality Course (October 22-26, 2001)

The SCALE KENO V.a Criticality Course focuses on KENO V.a and the associated criticality analysis sequences in CSAS. KENO V.a is a widely used 3-D multigroup Monte Carlo criticality safety analysis code that has been in use for approximately 15 years. KENO V.a is a fast, easy-to-use code that allows users to build complex geometry models using basic geometrical bodies of cuboids, spheres, cylinders, hemispheres, and hemicylinders. Two-dimensional color plots of the geometry model can be generated.
