| CCC-545/SCALE4.3
OP SYS: UNIX, DOS Language: Fortran 77, C Computers: PC, workstation Format: DOS, tar | Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
updated the PC version of this modular code system for performing
standardized computer analyses for licensing evaluation for UNIX
workstations and personal computers. Several source files and
executables in the package were updated with modifications which
allow them to run under both Windows95 and WindowsNT Vers. 3.51
for workstation. All modules now run under either DOS 6, Windows
3.1, Windows95, or WindowsNT except for the GIF related graphics
processors which do not run under WindowsNT or Windows 3.1. PC
users who have already received the package may contact RSIC to get
the updated files which are available on three 1.44 DS/HD 3.5-in.
diskettes in self-extracting compressed DOS files. No modifications
were made to the Unix version. In its present form, the system has the
capability to perform criticality, shielding, and heat transfer analyses
using well-established functional modules tailored to the SCALE
system. Spent fuel characteristics for these analyses can be obtained
from a module that performs a depletion calculation. The Unix version of SCALE-4.3 runs on IBM RS/6000, DEC, SUN, HP, and SGI workstations. Makefiles are included to facilitate installation. SCALE-PC runs on 486 and Pentium personal computers with a math coprocessor and at least 8 MB extended memory. A 486 or Pentium PC is recommended. Nominal hard disk requirements vary from 60 MB for a minimum installation to install the executables and data files (except the 238-group library) to 350 MB for a complete installation, including space for compiling, linking, and running sample problems. Executables included in the initial 4.3 PC package were created using the Lahey F77L-EM/32 Fortran compiler version 5.20 and the PharLap DOS Extender and virtual memory manager under DOS 6.22. The executables added in this update were linked under Windows95. Included in both packages are documentation files written in either WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.1 format on CD-ROM. Workstation version: includes source codes, binary data libraries, makefiles, scripts, and sample problem input and output, transmitted in a UNIX compressed tar file on either cartridge tape or CD-ROM, plus OFFSCALE, ORIGNATE, and README in DOS format. Thermal codes (HTAS1, HEATING 7, OCULAR) are included in the UNIX package but are NOT included in the PC package. PC Version: requires one CD-ROM or QIC-80 compatible tape which contains source codes, executables, binary data libraries, and sample problem input and output; written in DOS format compressed with programs of Pkware, Inc. ORIGEN-ARP is distributed only with the PC version. References: NUREG/CR-0200, Rev. 5 (ORNL/NUREG/CSD-2/R5), Vols.

CCC-643/CITATION-LDI 2 | OP SYS: DOS Language: Fortran 77 Computers: PC 386 Format: DOS Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed two updated PC
versions of this nuclear reactor analysis code system called CITATION-PC and CITALDI-PC. CITATION 2.0 is designed to solve problems
using the finite difference representation of neutron diffusion theory
treating up to three space dimensions with arbitrary group-to-group
scattering. The x-y-z, theta-r-z, hexagonal z, and triagonal z geometries
may be treated. Depletion problems may be solved and fuel managed
for multi-cycle analysis. Extensive first order perturbation results may
be obtained given microscopic data and nuclide concentrations.
Statistics problems may be solved and perturbation results obtained with
microscopic data. This version of CITATION was released by ORNL as
CITATION - Rev. 2, Supplement 3 in July 1972 and ran on
mainframes. It was frist ported to PC by AECL in October 1988.
CITATION-PC in this release incorporated minor changes includng the
removal of overlay statements introduced in 1988. CITALDI-PC is a
new modified version with list-directed input. | The codes run on personal computers equipped with an 80386 processor or better. The executables were created with the Lahey Fortran V5.1 and 5.2 compilers under DOS 6.22. They can be run in a DOS window of Windows95. At least 578 kB RAM must be available to run the executables included in the package. The package which includes source, executables, and test cases is transmitted on two 1.44 DS/HD 3.5-in. diskettes in self-extracting compressed DOS files. No cross sections are included.

OP SYS: AIX Language: Fortran Computers: IBM RISC 6000 Format: tar Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed a newly frozen version
K1 of the SAMMY code system for multilevel R-matrix fits to neutron
data using Bayes' equations. This version differs from the previous
version (H1) primarily in that the input/output protocols for the
temporary files were modified with concomitant modifications in the
array-storage system. Users should notice this only via the resultant
increase in execution speed. Improvements include the incorporation of
self-shielding and multiple-scattering corrections in the calculation of
capture yields. Other additions include the abilities to fit differential
elastic angular distributions, to calculate Maxwellian (stellar) averages
for capture cross sections, and to reconstruct point-wise cross sections
on an automatically generated energy grid. | The system runs on the IBM RS/6000 and has been ported to DEC Alpha computers under both Open/VMS and OSF1 operating systems. Virtually no changes were required in the FORTRAN. SAMMY-K1 is transmitted in compressed tar format on either a CD-ROM or cartridge tape.

One change was made to the data library collection during the month. A new data library was packaged and added to the collection. | |
| DLC-185/BUGLE-96
OP SYS: Any Language: Fortran Computers: All Format: tar | ORNL has contributed a revised multigroup cross-section library based
on ENDF/B-VI Release 3 for LWR shielding and reactor pressure
vessel dosimetry applications. This new broad group library (47n,20g),
which is designated BUGLE-96, represents an improvement over the
BUGLE-93 library released in February 1994 and replaces that data.
The cross-section processing methodology is the same as that used for
producing BUGLE-93 and is consistent with ANSI/ANS 6.1.2. As an
added feature cross-section sets having upscatter data for four thermal
neutron groups are included in the BUGLE-96 package. The
upscattering data should improve the appication of this library to the
calculation of more accurate thermal fluences, although more computer
time will be required. The incorporation of feedback from users has
resulted in a data library that addresses a wider spectrum of user needs. The new package consists of four sets of data. BUGLE-96 is a complete replacement for all files previously contained in DLC-175/BUGLE-93. Above the thermal region, BUGLE-96T contains the same cross section data as BUGLE-96 with the thermal upscattering cross sections retained. SAILOR-96 contains the same cross sections as BUGLE-96 with the ANISN identifiers arranged to be plug compatible with the DLC-76/SAILOR data package. SAILOR-96T contains the same cross sections as BUGLE-96T with the ANISN identifiers arranged to be plug compatible with DLC-76/SAILOR. The BCBN Fortran program is included to read the formatted ANISN records and write them as unformatted records. The package is available in compressed Unix tar files on either CD-ROM, DC 6150 (150 MB), 4-mm DAT (8GB), or 8-mm (2.3)GB cartridge tapes.

Dr. Rusi P. Taleyarkhan
The Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville is offering three five-day short courses of interest to radiation transport specialists during Tennessee Industries Week (TIW-31), August 12-16, 1996.
Computational Methods in Reactor Analysis and Shielding -- Engineers, scientists, and technical managers who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of the computational methods and computer codes currently used in nuclear reactor analysis and shielding will be interested in this intensive one-week short course. A good understanding of the models and associated numerical methods is essential for the successful use of the codes in designing new systems or improving the performance and safety of existing systems.
Areas to be covered include multidimensional diffusion theory methods and perturbation theory methods for applications in reactor statics, space-dependent kinetics, and fuel depletion; transport theory methods including the discrete ordinates method, integral transport theory, and the Monte Carlo method; and cross section generation and processing utilizing the AMPX and SCALE systems developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Special emphasis in the course is placed on the Monte Carlo method because of its widespread use and importance for nuclear system analysis brought about primarily by the increased availability of high performance workstations. The course ends at noon on Friday.
Monte Carlo Analysis -- Monte Carlo is often the method of choice to solve complex problems in radiation shield design. The transport analyst must often choose between Monte Carlo and deterministic methods like discrete ordinates; or the nature of the design problem may dictate that he perform a coupled
(Monte Carlo/discrete ordinates) calculation. Therefore, to use Monte Carlo and other transport methods effectively, the analyst must understand the theoretical and computational fundamentals. Rather than use an existing program, it is sometimes advantageous to create a new special-purpose Monte Carlo program. The procedures that are involved in preparing a user-written Monte Carlo program will be described in terms of the classical and conceptually simple straight-ahead, one-speed, slab transmission problem.
Many advanced topics will be included that will permit optimum use of existing computer codes such as MORSE and MCNP. Special attention will be given to the understanding of the adjoint calculation. New topics involving the biased adjoint Monte Carlo calculation will be presented.
In addition, a generalized albedo option for the MORSE code will be described. This version employs albedos having a spatially-dependent point-of-emergence and permits an adjoint analysis when using the albedo option. Advantages and disadvantages of the adjoint mode versus the forward mode of analysis will be described. The full range of variance reduction techniques will be studied for both forward and adjoint calculations.
The Monte Carlo method offers the expectation that the true solution to the problem as modeled can be achieved. However, this may lead to a false sense of credibility - in particular when calculations are performed by relatively inexperienced users (the majority of people who use the Monte Carlo method do so only occasionally). Monte Carlo calculations are subject to major errors and/or misinterpretations because currently used statistical measures may be insufficient. Other methods for statistically characterizing Monte Carlo methods will be described. Some of these methods have been incorporated into an experimental version of the MORSE code. The modifications will be described along with descriptions of problems which are subject to undersampling.
The relationship of the Monte Carlo method to the other transport methods such as discrete ordinates will be described, including comparisons of computational advantages and disadvantages. The MORSE and MCNP computer codes will be described as required to illustrate the general features of large Monte Carlo computer programs. This course ends at noon on Friday.
Nuclear Criticality Safety -- Engineers, scientists, and technical managers who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of nuclear criticality safety will be interested in this intensive one-week short course. The topics covered in the course are based primarily on the experience of the six instructors which totals over 130 years of nuclear criticality safety related experience. Such a wealth of experience needs to be shared with the criticality safety community including both new professionals in the field as well as experienced professionals.
The course topics include illustrative applications using the SCALE system developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory with emphasis on the Monte Carlo code KENO Va, standards, regulations, review of accidents, hand calculation methods, subcritical limits, code validation techniques, emergency response, process upsets and recovery actions, and transient excursion modeling. The course ends at noon on Friday.
The registration fee is $1195 per person for each course. The deadline for registration in these three courses is July 31, 1996. For additional information contact T. W. Kerlin, Head of the Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996 (phone 423-974-2525).
