To mark the beginning of the second century of nuclear science, the American Nuclear Society's Mathematics and Computation Division 2003 Topical Meeting is organized around the theme: Nuclear Mathematical and Computational Sciences: A Century in Review, A Century Anew. The conference will be held at the Park Vista Hotel, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, April 6-10, 2003. It is co-sponsored by the American Nuclear Society's Reactor Physics, and Radiation Protection and Shielding Divisions, as well as the ANS Oak Ridge/Knoxville Local Section, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Radiation Safety Information Computational Center, the Nuclear Energy Agency of the OECD, and the Korean Nuclear Society.

As the Conference's title suggests, the technical sessions are arranged in two major components. The Anew component includes the typical mix of contributed papers in regular sessions and invited papers in special sessions. Members of the Technical Program Committee have been extended an invitation to help organize special sessions on timely topics, and to stimulate paper submission by colleagues. As customary for M&C topical meetings, full papers must be submitted for review by November 1, 2002. Additional instructions to authors, including format requirements, will be posted on the Conference's web site (see below) at a later date.

The Review component of the conference is a marked departure from the standard Plenary Session format. It is comprised of eight invited lectures by world-renowned leaders in selected topics. Each half-day of conference sessions will commence with one such lecture extending for one hour, followed by a 15-minute Question/Answer session, a 15-minute break, then the regular and special sessions proceed.

The complete list of topics and invited lecturers is:
1. Deterministic Methods for the First-Order Transport Equation, Ed Larsen (University of 
    Michigan) & Jim Morel (Los Alamos National Lab.)
2. Deterministic Transport Methods of the Second Order, Elmer Lewis (Northwestern University)
3. Monte Carlo Methods, Jerome Spanier (University of California at Irvine)
4. Reactor Core Methods, Kord Smith (Studsvik Scandpower)
5. Resonance Theory in Reactor Applications, R. N. Hwang (Argonne National Lab.)
6. Reactor Kinetics and Dynamics, Jack Dorning (University of Virginia)
7. The Role of Perturbation Theory in Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis, Dan Cacuci 
    (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany)
8. Criticality Safety Methods, Elliott Whitesides (Oak Ridge National Lab. - retired)

The topics were selected to provide a broad coverage of the major areas of research in nuclear mathematical and computational sciences in the twentieth century. The lectures will capture for future students and researchers a snap shot of what the field looked like at the turn of the century, and how it got to that point since its inception. The stature of the invited lecturers promises to make this lecture series a unique opportunity for nuclear scientists and engineers to "hear it from the lion's mouth"!

J. A. Lake, R. G. Bennett of INEEL and J. F. Kotek of ANL are authors of an article in the Jan. 2002 issue of Scientific American entitled "Next Generation Nuclear Power." Discussed are the safety, economics, and environmental advantages to the GEN-IV advanced reactors being developed at DOE NE.
 

The ORNL Fusion Energy Division's Martin Peng, Rajesh Maingi, and Dennis Strickler were mentioned in a recent Science magazine article [25 January 2002, Vol 295, p. 602] "Spherical tokamaks are on a roll." The article discusses promising plasma-confining results from spherically shaped fusion reactors, as opposed to typical donut-shaped tokamaks. It's an approach, first suggested by Peng and Strickler in the early '80s.
 
 

La GRANGE PARK, Ill. February 15, 2002--President George W. Bush's endorsement of Yucca Mountain as a suitable geological repository is a major step toward the nation's objective of providing safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste, says the American Nuclear Society.

"While this is just one step toward our ultimate goal of seeing the Department of Energy obtain a license for repository construction, it clears a major hurdle toward solving one of the most controversial issues involving nuclear energy," said ANS President Dr. Gail H. Marcus. "Yucca Mountain faces more challenges ahead, but we are confident President Bush made his decision based on measurable scientific data. We have high confidence that Yucca Mountain is a suitable site, and we are ready to help in the process of proceeding to the next stage of repository development."

The next stop for Yucca Mountain is Nevada, where Gov. Kenny Quinn and the state legislature are expected to veto the recommendation. The expected veto would then send the issue to the U.S. Congress for debate and an up-or-down vote in both Houses.

"It is our hope that Congress will recognize the features of Yucca Mountain that our members, as well as the Department of Energy, embraced when endorsing this site: that it has the characteristics and the engineering to exceed the high regulatory standard for public health and safety," said Marcus. "We're convinced, based on pre-closure and post-closure assessments of Yucca Mountain, that the combination of site and design features provide public health protection with a considerable margin of safety."

Work performed by the DOE, national laboratories and other government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey and the Environmental Protection Agency provide an impressive comprehensive collection of interdisciplinary studies and reports. Those studies concluded that the Yucca Mountain site is well suited to become the nation's first geological repository.

"Yucca Mountain represents a huge step for the future of nuclear energy," added Marcus. "We applaud President Bush for his commitment to nuclear energy, and his strong endorsement of Yucca Mountain."

More information regarding ANS' position on Yucca Mountain can be found at http://www.ans.org/pi/documents/1002899330.html. 

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

CCC-485/BWR-LTAS

PSR-386/IRRAS 4.16 (US distribution only)

DLC-198/TR-EDB
 
 

Four new packages were added to the computer code software and data collection. Two of these were foreign contributions.

CCC-693/ANITA-2000
OP SYS: Unix, Linux, Windows
Language: Fortran
Computers: Workstation & PC
Format: Unix tar & Self-extracting Windows

ENEA - Centro Ricerche, Energia 'E. Clementel,' Bologna, Italy, through the NEA Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed this code package for the activation characterization of materials exposed to neutrons in fusion machines. The main component of the package is the activation code ANITA-4M that computes the radioactive inventory of a material exposed to neutron irradiation, continuous or stepwise. It provides activity, atomic density, decay heat, biological hazard, clearance index and gamma-ray source spectra at shut down and for different cooling times. An interactive utility module, MODBIN, to produce the neutron activation cross section libraries in the required binary ANITA-4M format, is also included. The GRANITA interactive module may plot activation parameters as a function of the cooling time. The main improvements over the previous release (CCC-606/ANITA-4) include:

the number of irradiation time intervals increased to 2000;
different neutron wall loading can be used for each burn time interval;
the photon source calculation in the 18 energy group scale structure was added;
the clearance index can be calculated.

ANITA runs on IBM RS/6000 and on personal computers running either Linux or Windows. An ANITA-2000 executable (called ANITA4M.exe) is included with the PC version of ANITA-2000. It was created with the Lahey Fortran 95 v5.5 compiler on a P3 under Windows 2000. The distribution CD contains Fortran source, PC executables, test cases, data, and documentation written in a GNU compressed Unix tar file and a self-extracting compressed Windows file. References: ERG FUS TN SIC TR 16/2000 Parts I and II (November 2000). Fortran; IBM RS/6000, Linux, Windows PC (C00693/MNYCP/00).
 

CCC-706/MESYST
OP SYS: Unicos
Language: Fortran 77
Computers: Cray
Format: Unix tar

The Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers, Paris, France, through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-Les Molineaux, France, contributed this code system to simulate 3D tracer dispersion in the atmosphere. This system includes three programs: CRE_TOPO prepares the terrain data for MESYST; NOABL calculates three-dimensional free divergence windfields over complex terrain, and PAS computes tracer concentrations and depositions on a given domain. The purpose of this work is to develop a realistic and accurate simulation tool for atmospheric dispersion of pollutants over complex terrains. The factional brownian model, which furnishes more accurate concentration values, is introduced to calculate pollutant atmospheric dispersion. The model was validated on SIESTA international experiments.

MESYST can run on the CRAY T3E parallel machine. Fortran and C compilers are required on all systems. PVM or MPI is required to run in parallel mode. CRE_TOPO, NOABL, and PAS work under UNICOS/mk 2.0. NOABL also runs under Solaris 2.3 and MEIKO 1.4.08. Machine-specific statements are provided in some makefiles for Cray, DEC Alpha and AIX. The codes were not tested at either the NEA Data Bank or at RSICC. No documentation is available to guide a user on installation or execution. The transmittal CD contains a GNU Unix compressed tar file with the reports, source code, makefiles and sample problems. References: TA-1281: 15/12/1999-27/01/2000 and DOE/ET/20280-3, UC-60 (September 1978). Fortran 77; Cray, (C00706/MNYWS/00).
 

PSR-500/MCNP-VISED 4C2
OP SYS: Windows, Linux, Unix
Language: Fortran & C
Computers: PC & Workstation
Format: Self-extracting Windows & Unix tar

The Visual Editor Consultants, Richland, Washington, contributed an updated version of the MCNP Visual Editor that is compatible with the Los Alamos National Laboratory MCNP 4C2 (CCC-701) code. The Visual Editor was developed to make the creation and debugging of MCNP geometries easier. It is a powerful visualization tool that can be used to rapidly create complex geometry models, including lattices, universes, fills, and other geometrical transformations for use with MCNP. 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.

The package will include executables for Windows NT, Windows 95 and Linux plus the C code and Fortran patch for Linux/UNIX computers. The Windows version of the code is now considered the most stable version and is fully functional. The Windows version has all of the capabilities of the Linux version except cylindrical duct creation. References: Informal reports (2002). Pentium and Workstation; Fortran and C (P00500/MNYCP/00).
 

PSR-516/PARET/ANL
OP SYS: Unix, Linux, Windows
Language: Fortran
Computers: Sun & PC
Format: Unix tar & Self-extracting Windows

Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois, contributed a new code system designed for use in predicting the course and consequence of nondestructive accidents in research and test reactor cores. The original PARET code was adapted by the Reduced Enrichment Research and Test Reactor (RERTR) Program to provide transient and thermal-hydraulics analysis for research and test reactors with both plate and pin type fuel assemblies. The PARET/ANL version of the code was subjected to extensive comparisons with the SPERT I and SPERT II (light water and heavy water) experiments. These comparisons were quite favorable for a wide range of transients up to and including melting of the clad. The code also provided good agreement with pulsed TRIGA transients in pin geometry. Revisions include new and more appropriate heat transfer, DNB and flow instability correlations, improved edits, reactor trips, control insertion model, decay heat power model, a time-dependent pump flow model, and a loss-of-flow model with flow reversal. The code now includes a restart option and generates a summary file for further processing of the results. Auxiliary support codes are available for generating properties libraries for both light and heavy water and for post processing of the summary file data. While the PARET/ANL code does not include a plotting package, the processed summary data is cast in a format acceptable to most plotting applications. The code accepts input and generates output in SI units as an option. The PARET/ANL code is Fortran 77 compatible and runs on both PCs (Windows and Linux) and UNIX workstations. Executables created with the Lahey F95 compiler are included for PC users running Windows. All Unix and Linux systems require a g77 or other Fortran compiler. Reference: ANL/RERTR/TM-16 (March 2001). Sun, PC under Linux and Windows 95, 98, or NT 2000 (P00516/MNYCP/00).
 
 

As years have gone by many different codes and applications have been sent to RSICC for stewardship. We currently have over 1500 analytical code packages and distribute as many each year to 73 countries in the world. To help 'categorize' each package, we have developed a database of 'Main Categories' to attach applications to the packages at RSICC. Doing so requires investigation into each code package, user feedback from end use statements, and extensive RSICC staff experience and analysis so that we can deliver useful information each month on the 30 different categories we have devised thus far. Feedback from our Newsletter community is very valuable so please direct your comments and/or suggestions to PDC@ORNL.GOV.

This month we present Accelerator Applications for the main category of analytical tool packages at RSICC. Links to the package abstracts are embedded into the WWW version of the RSICC Newsletter. We hope you enjoy this new feature! Next month we will focus on Space Applications. 
 

RSICC attempts to keep its users/contributors advised of conferences, courses, and symposia in the field of radiation protection, transport, and shielding through this section of the newsletter alphabetically. Should you be involved in the planning/organization of such events, feel free to send your announcements and calls for papers via email to FINCHSY@ornl.gov with "conferences" in the subject line. Please include the announcement in its native format as an attachment to the message. If the meeting is on a website, please include the url.

Every attempt is made to ensure that the links provided in the Conference and Calendar sections of this newsletter are correct and live. However, the very nature of the web creates the possibility that the links may become unavailable. In that case, please call or mail the contact provided.

MCNPX is the LANL all-particle, all-energy (eV-TeV) Monte Carlo transport code based on MCNP4C, LAHET, CEM, etc. MCNPX has 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.  Follow-up consultation for class participants will be provided.

Classes are taught directly by experienced MCNPX code developers and instructors. For more information on code versions and their capabilities, go to the MCNPX Workshops web site http://mcnpxworkshops.com.

Full information, and a separate registration form, for the Workshops are available at http://www.lanl.gov/RPSD2002/workshops.shtml.

TOURS: Three tours have been planned in association with RPSD2002:

1. Monday April 15: "A Taste of Santa Fe" - 3-4 hour guided tour of Santa Fe by bus. The tour will include stops at museums and art galleries. Use this opportunity to plan the rest of your week in Santa Fe.

2. Wednesday April 17: "Explore Northern New Mexico" - 6-7 hour guided tour with stops at Bandelier National Monument and historic Los Alamos. In Los Alamos you will tour the Bradbury Science Museum and have time for lunch in town.

3. Friday April 19: "The Trinity Site" - a special full-day tour to the White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico to view the site where the first atomic bomb was detonated. The tour will include time at ground zero, as well as at the McDonald Ranch House, where the world's first plutonium core for a bomb was assembled. Representatives of the White Sands Missile Range will conduct the tour. Lunch will be provided at the historic Owl Bar & Café in San Antonio, NM, which served many Los Alamos scientists during the test program. Transportation for this tour will be arranged that travelers can depart and be dropped off from either Santa Fe or Albuquerque.

Check the Website http://www.lanl.gov/RPSD2002/tours.shtml for more details. All tours will have both a minimum and maximum registration. In the event of cancellation, full refunds will be provided. Register for tours on the main Conference registration form.

HOTEL: We encourage you to make your reservations early at the Conference hotel, La Fonda. Information and a reservation form are available at http://www.lanl.gov/RPSD2002/hotel.shtml. You can either fill out a form on line, or print the form and send it to the Hotel. In either event, please make sure to note "RPSD 2002 Topical Meeting" in order to qualify for the special discount offered.

EXHIBITOR: There are opportunities for vendors to exhibit their products at RPSD 2002. Full information is available at http://www.lanl.gov/RPSD2002/exhibitor.shtml. Booth space will be available; there are also various sponsorship opportunities. To highlight the exhibitors, a Conference mixer will be held in the exhibit area on Wednesday evening.

STUDENTS: We strongly encourage student participation at RPSD 2002. The student fees are small and we feel that this will be an excellent opportunity for students to participate in a Technical Conference and to meet potential employers (Los Alamos National Laboratory, at least, plans to have a recruiting booth at RPSD 2002). In addition to reduced registration fees, we will arrange for students to share hotel rooms, and offer some payment to students for helping with technical sessions. See http://www.lanl.gov/ RPSD2002/students.shtml for additional information.
