Reliable nuclear cross section data and their uncertainties (sensitivity, covariance) are the basis for the design of nuclear systems. In order for nuclear cross section data to be utilized in application, they must be measured, evaluated, put into standard format, tested, released as part of the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) library, and then processed into specific formats for subsequent use by the analytical models. The evaluation and the processing activities entail significant effort necessary to make the data available for use in nuclear applications.

In some cases, data libraries are included as part of an RSICC code "package". In such cases, the license and export control form for that package covers both the code and its accompanying data.

In those instances in which a separate data library package is required to run the code, RSICC will no longer supply the necessary library unless that library is specifically requested. For instance, prior to April 1, users could request MCNP4C2 and would be sent the MCNP4C2 code package and its associated data package, MCNPDATA. Effective April 1, to receive a separately packaged data library, users must now specifically request the library in addition to the code package. A software license form and export control understanding and agreement form will be required for each package requested.
 
 

In compliance with the Export Administration Act of 1979, the U. S. Department of Commerce through its Bureau of Export Administration regulates and enforces export control for reasons of national security, nonproliferation, international foreign policy and short supply. The regulations and provisions governing exports are detailed in the Code of Federal Regulations 15 CFR 730 through 15 CFR 774, including supplements.

Exports may include commodity items, software and/or technical data transferred outside the United States. Such transfers can occur via mail or shipment, by fax, electronic mail, telephone or computer networking, via hand-carried materials, or verbally through visits and workshops, and/or by any other means. An export is also deemed to have taken place when such EAR controlled items are released to a foreign national within the United States unless that foreign national has been granted U. S. citizenship, holds a permanent resident visa or has been granted status as a "protected person".

Software is one of the groups of items delineated on the Commerce Control List and subject to export control regulations. RSICC's software has been designated by the Department of Commerce as Classification OD999 Specific Software. As such, requesters must sign and submit an Export Control Understanding and Agreement form to receive software through RSICC. Through submission of that export control form, the user agrees to abide by all applicable United States Export Control laws and regulations. The user also agrees to prohibit direct or indirect access to the software by any individual, organization or party engaged in nuclear proliferation activities and/or identified on the Denied Entities List, Denied Parties List, Terrorist Countries List, or Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List specified on the export form.

Because of the potentially serious consequences that may result from the failure to comply with U. S. export control laws and regulations, RSICC users must be aware of their export control obligations, particularly in the use and sharing of RSICC software. Administrative, civil and criminal penalties can result from non-compliance. We strongly suggest you contact your Export Control Coordinator/Liaison to assist you in any matters related to export control. We also refer you to the Bureau of Industry and Security web site (http://www.bxa.doc.gov/) for additional links and further information detailing your export control obligations.
 
 

With the growth of electric power generation expected to reach more than 390 GW units by 2020, the National Energy Policy recommends expansion of nuclear power generating capacity to meet energy diversity and energy security objectives. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology has formed a joint government/industry cost-shared program, Nuclear Power 2010, to develop advanced reactor technologies and demonstrate new regulatory processes to facilitate the construction and licensing of new nuclear power plants in the U.S. A Near-Term Deployment Working Group directed by the DOE Nuclear Energy Research Advisory Committee issued a "A Roadmap to Deploy New Nuclear Power Plants in the United States by 2010" which recommends actions to be taken to support the deployment of these advanced nuclear power plants. The Roadmap and additional information about Nuclear Power 2010 can be found at www.nuclear.gov. Source: http://www.nuclear.gov/planning/NP2010FACTSHEET.pdf.
 
 

Attention parents of high school juniors and seniors who may be interested in nuclear engineering as a possible career. There will be a nuclear engineering summer camp held July 21-26 and July 28-August 2, 2002 in Rolla, Missouri. Please note that all educational fees, boarding, and lodging expenses for the camp are covered by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and Ameren UE (formerly Union Electric Company). However, there is a $50 application fee, which will be refunded to a student only if he/she is not accepted in the camp.

Last year, 64 students from various parts of the country attended the summer camp. The students had very good experiences. Adam Zabriskie from Idaho Falls, ID wrote, "I had a wonderful time at Rolla. I learned, had fun, and got to travel. It was the best time I had all summer."

For more information, please see the website http://www.nuc.umr.edu/summercamp/camp.html, call 573-341-4720, or send e-mail to nuclear@umr.edu.
 
 

The following information was taken from the U.S. News:

DOMINION stated in April it plans to pursue an early site permit at its North Anna nuclear power plant site in Virginia. Dominion was among the utilities that told NRC in a meeting that they plan to seek the permits, which would give them early NRC approval of potential sites for new reactors without having to commit to building new units there. Entergy said it expected to announce the selection of a site within the next two to three weeks. Exelon previously told NRC it would announce its site by June 30. All three utilities are targeting 2003 for submitting their applications to NRC. Officials from all three companies also said they plan to apply for DOE grants to help pay for the NRC review of their applications. The DOE deadline for grant applications was April 15.
 
 

Three U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) software packages 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-310/SFACTOR

CCC-316/XOQDOQ-82

PSR-197/METD
 
 

Three changes were made to the computer code collection this month. Two newly frozen packages were released, and an addition was made to one package.

CCC-553/RASCAL 3.0.2 (abstract coming soon)
OP SYS: Windows
Language: Basic & Fortran
Computers: Pentium
Format: Windows

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Athey Consulting, Charles Town, West Virginia, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington, contributed a newly frozen version of the RASCAL code system. This version, which is designated Version 3.0.2 (March 2002 release), estimates reactor source term, atmospheric transport and doses resulting from radiological emergencies and can be used to assist in making protective action decisions. The Radiological Assessment System for Consequence AnaLysis (RASCAL) was developed for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It is designed to be used in the independent assessment of dose projections during response to radiological emergencies. The system supplements assessments based on plant conditions and quick estimates based on hand-calculational methods. The tools are designed to provide a comparison to EPA Protective Action Guidance and thresholds for acute health effects. RASCAL will be used by NRC personnel to conduct an independent evaluation of dose and consequence projections and for training and drills. The model was developed to allow consideration of the dominant aspects of source term, transport, dose, and consequences. The software consists of 4 tools accessed from a menu program (or shell). These 4 tools are:

• Source Term to Dose model (STDose) of RASCAL provides estimates of the integrated doses and consequences resulting from the accidental release of radionuclides to the atmosphere. Source terms are computed for reactor accidents, UF6 releases, uranium fires and explosions, and other materials accidents.

• Field Measurement to Dose model (FMDose) computes emergency worker limits and early-phase and intermediate-phase doses and derived intervention levels (DILs) from the analyses of field measurements.

• Decay Calculator (DecayCalc) computes radiological decay and daughter ingrowth.

• Meteorological Data Processor (MetProc) is the STDose module used for entering meteorological data and preparing the data for use by the atmospheric transport and diffusion models in RASCAL.

CCC-665/HABIT 1.1
OP SYS: DOS
Language: Fortran
Computers: PC
Format: Self-extracting Windows

The HABIT package was developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington, and has been updated with additional test cases. No other changes were made to the previous 1999 release. HABIT 1.1 is a suite of computer codes designed for evaluating control room habitability in the event of an accidental release of toxic chemicals or radioactive materials. EXTRAN 1.2, CHEM, TACT5, FPFP_2, and CONHAB are included in the system. Given information about the design of a nuclear power plant, a scenario for the release of toxic chemicals or radionuclides, and information about the air flows and protection systems of the control room, HABIT can be used to estimate the chemical exposure or radiological dose to control room personnel.

HABIT 1.1 runs on IBM PC or compatible under DOS 5.0 or higher and can be run in a DOS window of Windows95. The codes were compiled with Microsoft PowerStation V 1.0a compiler, and the user interface was compiled with Microsoft VisualBasic for DOS. The package is transmitted on a CD ROM as a self-extracting, compressed Windows file which includes source code, executables, sample problem input and output.

CCC-705/MCNPX 2.3.0 (abstract coming soon)
OP SYS: Unix or Linus (no Windows)
Language: Fortran 77 & C
Computers: Workstations & PC
Format: tar-compressed

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, contributed a newly frozen version of this Monte Carlo N-particle transport code system for multiparticle and high energy applications. MCNPX 2.3.0 extends the CCC-660/MCNP4B code to all particles and all energies. Photonuclear capability is included in this release. 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. MCNPX eliminates the need now present in LCS to transfer large files between separate codes.

MCNPX includes a test library of cross sections for running the sample problems, but the test library is not suitable for real problems. Running the code requires continuous energy cross section data included in DLC-205/MCNPXDATA or equivalent data. To receive the data from RSICC, users must also request the MCNPXDATA package and must submit a software license and Export Control form for the data.

MCNPX executes on most computers running Unix or Linux operating systems. No Windows version is available. C and Fortran 77 compilers and the GNU make utility are required for installation. RSICC tested this release on the following systems: IBM RS/6000, Redhat Linux Version 6.1, Sun UltraSparc, HP B1000, and DEC Alpha. Information about MCNPX development can be found on the web site http://mcnpx.lanl.gov. The package is transmitted on CD as a GNU compressed tar file. Reference: "MCNPX User's Manual" (2002). Fortran 77 and C. IBM RS/6000 AIX, DEC Alpha Digital Unix, SGI IRIX 32 and 64-bit, HP HP-UX version 10, Sun Solaris, Intel I586 Linux (C00705/MNYCP/01).
 
 

As years have gone by many different codes and applications have been sent to RSICC for stewardship. We currently have over 1700 analytical code and data 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 Medical 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. Next month we will focus on Computation and Data Coefficients.
 

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.

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, Korean Nuclear Society, and the Canadian 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 is 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  (ForschungszentrumKarlsruhe, 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"!

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.

The 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.
