Changes to the Computer Code and Data Collection
CCC-704/SLIDERULE
1.0
OP SYS: Windows
Language: Visual C++
Computers: PC
Format: Self-Extracting Windows
The SlideRule developers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, requested that RSICC circulate this notice regarding dose terminology and the "Solve" capability of the electronic version of the "Nuclear Criticality Slide Rule."
All reported radiation absorbed doses (rads) are "tissue-dose" estimates, not "free-air-dose" estimates.
The "Solve" capability for each of the five types of incidents can provide erroneous results for the determination of specific (i.e., Neutron, Gamma, Neutron Skyshine, Gamma Skyshine, Total Skyshine), "Estimated Prompt Doses Based on Total Fission Yield and Distance from Incident" (i.e., the lower left figure). The "Total Radiation" and Total Skyshine" are calculated correctly. When using the "Solve" feature for the lower left figure to determine the prompt dose of a specific radiation source (i.e., Neutron, Gamma, Neutron Skyshine, Gamma and Skyshine) one must approach the solution in a reverse mode. That is, iteratively solve for a known parameter (e.g., "Total Fissions" or "Distance") by changing a specific dose value until the desired "Total Fissions" and "Distance" is returned by the "Solver."
No changes have been made to the RSICC package since its release in January 2002. A functional hard copy of the Slide Rule is NOT included in the RSICC package but may be ordered from the following website: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/sliderule/.

CCC-722/NAAPRO
OP SYS: Windows
Language: C++
Computers: PC
Format: WinZip file
The Institute for Nuclear Research, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, contributed the Neutron Activation Analysis PRognosis and Optimization Code System. NAAPRO predicts the results and main characteristics (detection limits, determination limits, measurement limits and relative precision of the analysis) of neutron activation analysis (instrumental and radiochemical). Gamma-ray dose rates for different points of time after sample irradiation and input count rate of the spectrometry system are also predicted. The code uses standard Windows user interface and extensive graphical tools for the visualization of the spectrometer characteristics (efficiency, response and background) and simulated spectrum. This release is designated NAAPRO, Version 01.beta.
NAAPRO simulates gamma-ray spectrum of activation products for the specified analysis conditions. These are analysis time mode, analyzed sample mass and elemental composition, characteristics of irradiating neutron flux and irradiation conditions, gamma-spectrometry measurement geometry and background conditions, as well as detector and spectrometry system parameters. During calculation of gamma-ray yields of activation products the burnup and buildup of both radioactive and stable isotopes are taken into account.
No source files are included in the package. The included NAAPRO executable was built with Borland C++ Builder 5 compiler and runs under Windows 9x, 2000, or XP on personal computers. NAAPRO was tested at RSICC on a Pentium IV 2.8 GHz running Windows XP with Service Pack 1.0. NAAPRO is transmitted on CD-ROM in a WinZip file. References: Informal papers (May and June, 2004). C++; Windows 9x, 2000, XPC on PC (C722PC58600).

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 by experienced MCNPX code developers and instructors. More information on code versions and capabilities is available at MCNPX Workshops web site http://mcnpxworkshops .com.
Nuclear Data for Science and Technology "ND2004" - International Conference
The International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology will be held September 26-October 1, 2004, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is an OECD-Nuclear Energy Agency Conference, which is held approximately every 3 years. Recent conferences in this series were held in Antwerp (1982), Santa Fe (1985), Mito (1988), Jüelich (1991), Gatlinburg (1994), Trieste (1997) and Tsukuba (2001). This International Conference focuses on nuclear data, their production, dissemination, testing and application.
