This material was prepared as an account of Government sponsored work and describes a code system or data library which is one of a series collected by the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC).

Two changes or additions were made to the computer code collection during the month. One new code system was packaged and added to the collection, and one code system was extended with an additional hardware version. Both changes resulted from foreign contributions.
The Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, through the OECD NEA Data Bank in Gif-sur-Yvette, France, contributed a personal computer version of MARMER, a point-kernel shielding code system to calculate the dose rate, energy absorption rate, energy flux or gamma-ray flux due to several sources at any point in a complex geometry. The geometry is described by the MARS geometry system which makes use of combinatorial geometry and an array repeating feature. Source spectra may be defined in several ways including an option to read a binary file containing nuclide concentrations calculated by ORIGEN-S. Therefore, MARMER makes use of a nuclide data library containing half-life times, decay energies, and gamma yields for over 1000 nuclides. This PC code is based on the 1990 VAX 6000 release which included ORIGEN-S and a preprocessor named PREORI. Although the PC version does not include ORIGEN, it allows one to use ORIGEN-2 (PCH) output for specifying nuclide composition. Executables created with Lahey F77L-EM/32 Version 5.11 are included in the package which is transmitted on one diskette. Reference: IRI-131-89-03/2 (June 1990). Fortran 77; IBM PC (C00579/PC486/00).
The Inst. f. Reaktorsicherheit, Vienna, Austria, through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Gif-Sur-Yvette, France, contributed this code system to calculate reactivity transients. RETRANS calculates power excursions in light water reactors initiated by reactivity insertions due to withdrawal of control elements. The neutron physical model is based on the time-dependent two-group neutron diffusion equations. The state of the coolant is approximated by a table built into the code. RETRANS solves the heat conduction equation and calculates the heat transfer coefficient for representative fuel rods at each time-step. Modeling is limited to R-Z geometry and one-phase-flow.
The code system runs on SUN Sparcstations under the Sun OS 5.6 (Solaris 2.6) operating system with the Fortran 77 compiler version 4.2. The package is transmitted on a diskette with source and test case in a UNIX tar file. Reference: Computer Physics Communications 38, CPC00507 (May 1985). Fortran 77; SUN SPARC 60 (C00669/SUN05/00).

The MCNP code developers will present one introductory class at Los Alamos National Laboratory and two classes will be taught in Europe in 1999. The dates for these classes are
The introductory class is for people who have little or no experience with MCNP. The intermediate to
advanced class will be held for people who have used MCNP and want to extend their knowledge and
gain depth of understanding. We plan to showcase the preliminary 4C version of MCNP that will be
in a pre-release status. The new features that will be discussed include:
Other capabilities of MCNP to be covered are:
All classes provide interactive computer learning, with time available to discuss individual questions and problems with MCNP experts or to pursue in more detail topics mentioned in the talks. Please note that other classes are offered based on MCNP. For more information and to register for the LANL classes, contact Judi Briesmeister, jfb@lanl.gov.

The Third International Conference on Isotopes (3ICI) will be held in the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver, Canada, September 6-10, 1999. The conference will be hosted by TRIUMF, Canada's national accelerator facility and a major center for isotope production and applications in research and medicine, in conjunction with the Canadian Chapter meeting of the International Isotope Society.
The scientific program will consist of plenary and parallel oral sessions and poster presentations.
Topics will include the following:
Persons interested in presenting an oral or poster paper should prepare a one page abstract in accord with the instructions on the web page: http://www.triumf.ca/3ici/. Further information is available from Ms. Elly M. Driessen, TRIUMF, 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6T 2A3 (phone 604-222-7352, fax 604-222-1074, email ici@triumf.ca).
We have received several requests from SCALE users for organising the next SCALE training course in Europe. As you may know already, from 20-24 September 1999 the "International Conference on Nuclear Criticality Safety (ICNC'99)" will take place in Versailles, France; http://www.ipsn.fr/icnc99/. We have found it therefore convenient to organise this training course the week before that conference. This will facilitate both attendance in the criticality safety training course and be part of the last major event in criticality safety of this decade (sorry but I shall not use the term millennium).
We plan to hold this training course in the premises of the French National Institute for Nuclear Science and Techniques (INSTN) located about 6 miles from Versailles. The course will be given by the authors and code managers from the ORNL (http://www.cad.ornl.gov/scale).
The technical programme of the workshop has been designed by Steve Bowman, SCALE Project Leader, Computational Physics & Engineering Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (phone +1 423-574-5263, fax+1 423-576-3513, email st5@ornl.gov). An attendance certificate will be delivered at the end of the course. This course is organised in co-operation with the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC). More precise information, including the exact participation fee, location, transportation and accommodation possibilities will be provided later.

The Tenth International Symposium on Reactor Dosimetry will be held September 12-17, 1999, in Osaka, Japan. About every three years this symposium provides a forum for the interchange of state-of-the-art techniques, databases and standardization of radiation metrology. The Symposium will be of value to those involved in reactor dosimetry, including researchers, manufacturers and representatives from industry, utilities and regulatory agencies. The Symposium is jointly sponsored by the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the European Working Group on Reactor Dosimetry (EWGRD). It is organized by ASTM Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications and EWGRD.
The Symposium theme is dosimetry for the assessment of irradiated reactor materials and reactor
experiments, featuring radiation metrology techniques, databases and standardization. Inquiries and
requests to be added to the mailing list should be sent to one of the following:

Personnel from the X Division of Los Alamos National Lab have agreed to teach a four-day short course on MCNP September 29-October 2, 1999, at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC. The first 20 paid applicants will be accepted and the cost ($1800) will be reduced if payment is received by August 1, 1999. Registration will close on September 1, 1999. This introductory class is for people who have never used MCNP or have very limited experience with the code and will include interactive computer sessions. Topics to be covered include basic geometry and advanced geometry, source definitions, tallies, data, variance reduction, statistical analysis, plotting (geometry, tallies, and particle tracks) and neutron/photon/electron physics. Time will be available to discuss individual questions and problems with MCNP experts or to pursue topics mentioned in the talks. The class will use the pre-release version 4C of MCNP. New features that will be briefly discussed include macrobodies, unresolved resonance treatment, perturbation enhancement, alpha eigenvalues, and cumulative tallies. A manual will be provided for use in the classroom. As co-sponsor of the workshop, RSICC will provide a CD with the code package and the data after the class is over for a nominal cost of $300 payable to RSICC. Apply by e-mail to Dr. T. S.
