Area Code Changes for RSICCThe area code for parts of East Tennessee changed
from 423 to 865 effective November 1, 1999. The transition period will
extend to April 24, 2000, during which time both area codes can be used.
This period should provide enough time for the customer to make necessary
changes in modems, faxes, automatic dialers, speed calling, pagers, and
cellular phones for numbers dialed within the Knoxville-Oak Ridge region.

CHANGES TO THE COMPUTER CODE COLLECTIONANITA-4 was contributed by the Commission of the European Communities, Joint Research Center, Ispra, Italy, through the NEA Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. ANITA-4 computes the radioactive inventory of a material subject to neutron irradiation, continuous or stepwise and provides activity, atomic density, decay heat, energy of decay gamma-rays and ingestion hazard of each nuclide. It also provides total activity, decay heat, contact dose equivalent, gamma-ray spectra, and other relevant parameters, for the irradiated material, versus cooling time. As an option, these parameters may be plotted as a function of the cooling time. The code includes a complete data base which allows one to perform calculations for all the elements with atomic number smaller than 84 (up to bismuth). The cross-sections and the decay data library were developed in fusion technology applications from the following: (1) the EAF-4.1 neutron activation data library for the standard 100-group GAM-II neutron group structure, (2) the JEF-2.2 decay data library and FENDL/D-2.0, and (3) the ICRP dose coefficients for ingestion and inhalation of radionuclides. The PC installation was done under MS-DOS under Windows 95 with Lahey F77L/EM-32 Version 5.2, and the executables are included. The IBM RS/6000 installation was tested at RSICC under AIX 4.2 with the xlf compiler. The package is transmitted on CD-ROM in both DOS and Unix formats. Reference: Draft 1998 report and EUR 12622 (1989). Fortran 77; IBM RS/6000 and Pentium (C00606MNYCP01). Universitat de Barcelona and Institut de Tecniques Energetiques, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, through the NEA Data Bank, contributed the PENELOPE code system to perform 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. Gamma-ray interactions (Rayleigh scattering, Compton scattering, photoelectric effect and electron-positron pair production) are simulated in a detailed way. PENELOPE can be run on almost any operating system supporting a Fortran 77 compiler (Unix, MS-DOS, Windows95, Windows NT, vms, etc.). The executables were created using the Lahey F77L/EM-32 compiler (Vers. 5.20) and linker (Version 5.10). The code was tested on DEC Alpha and Pentium computers. The package is transmitted on one 1.44MB diskette which contains the source, PC executables, and test cases written in a self-extracting, compressed DOS file. References: UBRPG-1998-01 (Feb. 1998) and 799 (June 1996). Fortran 77; DEC Alpha and PC (C00682MNYCP00). Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, contributed this visualization tool for KENO geometry models. KENO3D is a powerful state-of-the-art visualization tool that enables KENO-V.a users to interactively display their three-dimensional geometry models. The Monte Carlo criticality program KENO V.a is distributed within the CCC-545/SCALE4.4 package and is not included in this distribution. Familiarity with KENO V.a is assumed. The KENO3D interactive options include:
Internet Explorer 5 or later is required to use the KENO3D help files. Microsoft C++ Version 6.0 was used to create the executable included in the package. Due to the proprietary nature of the ACIS® software, source code is not available, and each and every user will be charged a royalty fee. The required ACIS® software is bundled into the executable. The package is transmitted on one CD-ROM which includes the documentation files, executables, and test case input written in DOS format. Reference: README.html (Sept. 1999).

MCNP Workshops for the Year 2000
Introductory classes are for people who have little or no experience with MCNP. The classes survey the features of MCNP so the beginning user will be exposed to the capabilities of the program and will have hands-on experience at running the code to solve rudimentary problems. Course topics include basic geometry, source definitions, output (tallies) specification and interpretation, advanced geometry (repeated structures specification), variance reduction techniques, statistical analysis, criticality, plotting of geometry, tallies, and particle tracks, and neutron/photon/electron physics. Advanced classes are for people with MCNP experience who want to extend their knowledge and understanding. Most areas of MCNP operation will be discussed in detail, with emphasis on advanced geometry, advanced variance reduction techniques, perturbation enhancement & cumulative tallies. Time will be available to discuss approaches to specific problems of interest to students. NOTE: While MCNP supports a number of platforms, class computers are usually UNIX machines. Experience with UNIX will be helpful to the student but is not essential. Year 2000 classes will showcase the latest release of MCNP, Version 4C. Major new features that will be discussed include:

Reactor Analysis and Criticality Safety Short CoursesMonte Carlo Analysis is often the method of choice to solve complex problems in criticality and 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 MCNP. Special attention will be given to the understanding of the adjoint calculation. 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. 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 MCNP computer code will be described as required to illustrate the general features of large Monte Carlo computer programs. 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 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 registration fee is $1195 per person for each
course. The deadline for registration in these courses is August
1, 2000. For additional information contact Lydia Salmon, Dept.
of Nuclear Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996 (phone
