September 11, 2001


The RSICC staff wishes to express its sadness and prayers to those directly affected by the tremendous loss due to the terrorist events in NYC, Washington, and Pennsylvania, September 11, 2001. Staff scattered on travel were immediately contacted and have safely returned. Thank you for the many condolences we have received from around the world.

Taken from ORNL Today, 09/17/01....ORNL remains in a state of heightened security after last week's terrorist activity in Washington and New York. Last Thursday, the folks in Bldg. 6011 hung flags out of all windows on the front side of the building, "in honor of victims, rescuers, and the whole country."

Taken from Washington Post, 09/17/01 …Everyone in the coming months is going to need this capacity of holding more than one thing in mind, of balancing conflicting feelings. Americans were confronted last week by an act of unspeakable hatred for their country, but they also were touched by signs of solidarity and affection and respect around the world. They were shaken by an unprecedented sense of vulnerability, but they also watched as their Congress and executive branch rose to the occasion with firmness and no panic. They felt helpless, but moved forthwith to offer help.

As RSICC staff move into FY02, we will be here to continue to serve the national safety interests in Nuclear Nonproliferation, Defense Programs, and Naval Reactors areas.

MCNP Forum Archives

In its efforts to better serve the user community, RSICC with the support of the Los Alamos National Laboratory MCNP team, recently incorporated MCNP Forum archives from August 1995 to February 2001 into an electronic notebook. The electronic notebook has long been implemented by RSICC so that user feedback on computer codes can be captured. The notebook also serves as a link among users. Current forum questions are already being entered into a separate notebook. Come visit at
http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/ENOTE/past.html.
 

ANST WWW Site on Web

As a service to the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and nuclear engineers in general, RSICC has become the www site sponsor for news and technical articles on the new work under the developing division of ANS, Aerospace Nuclear Science and Technology. Located at http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/ANST_site/ ANST_news_tech.htm features goals, news, and papers that impact the nuclear work in the aerospace industry.

NRC Codes Made Available

Five U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) software packages which were transferred from the Energy Science and Technology Software Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee to RSICC were incorporated into the RSICC computer code collection. Please browse the computer code abstracts available at RSICC's www site for more information on these packages.

CHANGES TO THE COMPUTER CODE and DATA COLLECTION

Four changes were made to the computer code software and data collection; two new code systems, one newly frozen version and one correction were added during the month. Two are from foreign contributions.
 
 

CCC-638/TART2000
OP SYS: Unix, Linux, Windows
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Workstations, PC, MAC
Format: Self-extracting Windows and tar


Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, contributed a newly frozen version of this coupled neutron-photon Monte Carlo transport code system designed to use three dimensional (3-D) combinatorial geometry. Neutron and/or photon sources as well as neutron induced photon production can be tracked. It is a complete system to assist with input preparation, running Monte Carlo calculations, and analysis of output results. TART2000 is also incredibly FAST; if you have used similar codes, you will be amazed at how fast this code is compared to other similar codes. Use of the entire system can save you a great deal of time and energy.

TART2000 extends the general utility of the code to even more areas of application than available in previous releases, by concentrating on improving the physics, particularly with regard to improved treatment of neutron fission, resonance self-shielding, molecular binding, and extending input options used by the code. TART2000 uses the latest ENDF/B-VI, Release 7, data. TART2000 is now distributed only with 650 group ENDF/B-VI neutron interaction data; support of the older 175 group ENDL data has now been dropped. Several utilities are included for creating input files and displaying TART results and data. TART2000 completely supersedes all older versions of TART, and it is strongly recommended that one use only the most recent version of TART2000 and its data files.

TART2000 runs on Cray, Unix workstations (Sun, SGI, HP, DEC-Alpha, Meiko, IBM, etc.), IBM-PC (Windows and Linux) and Power MAC. For use on IBM-PC and Power MAC, the entire system is distributed in executable form, so that no compiler or loader is required. The ABSOFT Fortran compiler was used to create PC executables, which run under 32-bit systems. On all other computers, a Fortran compiler which supports Cray-like pointers is required.

The package is distributed on CD in both Windows and UNIX formats. The CD contains the documentation, source codes for Unix systems, PC executables, data files and test cases for use on a variety of computers. References: UCRL-ID 126455, Rev. 3 (November 2000). Fortran 77; Cray, Unix workstations (Sun, SGI, HP, DEC-Alpha, Meiko, IBM, etc.), IBM-PC (Windows or Linux) and Power MAC (C00638/MNYCP/04).
 
 

CCC-684/NRCDose 2.3.2
OP SYS: Windows
Language: Fortran 77, Visual Basic
Computer: PC
Format: self-installing Windows


J. Stewart Bland Associates, Inc., Annapolis, Maryland, contributed a corrected version of this suite of NRC's computer codes used for evaluating routine radioactive effluents from nuclear power plants with a WINDOWS interface to facilitate ease of use. The new release corrects runtime errors in GASPAR and XOQDOQ modules of the 2.3.1 version. All users are advised to update to the corrected version. RSICC mailed the new release to recipients of the previous release. NRCDose includes LADTAP II, GASPAR II, and XOQDOQ. It is intended for modeling routine, normal effluents under annual average environmental conditions and should not be used for accident dose assessment.

NRCDose runs on IBM PC Pentium type computers. The distributed executables were created with the Microsoft Fortran PowerStation (Standard Edition) Version 4.0. under the Windows operating system. Fortran source files are not included. The codes were tested under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0. The package is transmitted on CD in DOS format.

Fortran; Pentium (C00684/PC586/02).
 
 

PSR-495/TRIGLAV
OP SYS: Linux, Windows
Language: Fortran 90
Computer: PC
Format: self-extracting Windows


 


Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia, through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed this code system to calculate mixed cores in TRIGA Mark II research reactors. TRIGLAV can be applied for fuel element burn-up calculations, for power and flux distributions calculations and for reactivity predictions. The WIMS-D4 program with the original WIMS cross-section library extended for TRIGA reactor specific nuclides is required. TRIGLAV is based on four group, time-independent diffusion equations in two dimensional cylindrical (r, theta) geometries. The diffusion equation is solved using finite differences method with iteration of fission density.

TRIGLAV runs under the MS-DOS and Linux operating systems. The included Windows PC executables were created with Lahey F77L3-EM/32 Version 5. the package is transmitted on CD in a self-extracting, compressed Windows file. References: IJS-DP-7862, Version 1 (March 28, 2000) and IJS-DP-6242 (March 2000). Fortran 77; PC (P00495/PC586/00).
 
 

PSR-509/DANCOFF-MC
OP SYS: Unix, Windows
Language: Fortran 90
Computers: Workstations, PC
Format: tar, self-extracting Windows


The Technical University of Budapest Institute of Nuclear Techniques, Budapest, Hungary, and Delft University of Technology Interfaculty Reactor Institute Mekelweg, Delft, The Netherlands, through the Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed DANCOFF-MC. This program calculates by Monte Carlo method the Dancoff factor which can be used to determine the flux reduction in resonance integral calculations. DANCOFF-MC allows almost arbitrary arrangement of cylindrical or spherical fuel elements: different fuel region diameters, clads and gaps with different sizes, annular rods, arbitrary positions of rods or spherical pellets, and different macroscopic cross sections for each fuel element and its clad. Optionally, it is also possible to calculate the Dancoff factor in a lattice of "grey", i.e., partially transparent, fuel lumps.

DANCOFF-MC runs on DEC Alpha, Sun and Pentium computers. A Fortran 90 compiler is required to run DANCOFF-MC under Unix. The Lahey F95 V5.6 compiler was used to create the PC executables which are included in the package. The executables can be run in a DOS window of Windows95, WindowsNT or better. The codes were also compiled and test cases executed on PC with the Lahey F90 V4.0 compiler and on DEC Alpha and Sun workstations with Fortran 90 compilers. The package is transmitted on a CD which contains a self-extracting compressed Windows file with source files, PC executables, scripts, test cases and information files. Reference: IRI-131-95-003 (June 1997). Fortran 90; Unix workstations and PC (P00509/MNYCP/00).

Advanced Training Course on PENELOPE-2000

Advanced Training Course on PENELOPE-2000 - Physics, Code Structure and Operation is to be held November 5-7, 2001, in Paris, France. Details of the course and participation form can be accessed at http://www.nea.fr/html/dbprog/penelope2001-1.html.

PENELOPE performs Monte Carlo simulation of coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials. A mixed procedure is used for the simulation of electron and positron interactions (elastic scattering, inelastic scattering and bremsstrahlung emission), in which 'hard' events (i.e. those with deflection angle and/or energy loss larger than pre-selected cutoffs) are simulated in a detailed way, while 'soft' interactions are calculated from multiple scattering approaches. Photon interactions (Rayleigh scattering, Compton scattering, photoelectric effect and electron-positron pair production) are simulated in a detailed way.
 
 

Seventh International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium

The Seventh International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, April 17-19, 2002. Six of these interesting and important meetings have been held approximately every 5 years since 1970, with distribution of published proceedings. Most previous meetings were held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and were organized by the Radiation Internal Dose Information Center. Despite the decline in funding and staffing for this center, it was decided that this important symposium series should continue. Due to continued interest of the international community the series will continue approximately every two years, alternating between a U.S. and European site.

All announcements and other mailings for this meeting will be done electronically (no paper mail will be sent). Abstracts (also electronic) are being accepted until September 30, 2001, with authors notified of outcome in approximately October. Contributors will be required to bring an electronic version of their manuscript to the meeting in April 2002; early plans are to have the proceedings published as a supplement to the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. You can contact Michael Stabin (michael.g.stabin@ vanderbilt.edu) if you have questions. The web site is http://www.doseinfo-radar.com/symphome.html.
