RSICC CODE PACKAGE CCC-803

1.         NAME AND TITLE

DRAGON2PARTISN: Cross-Sections Data Generation for PARTISN4.0.

2.         CONTRIBUTORS

Alberto Talamo, Illinois, USA through the Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

3.         CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

C; PC/LINUX (C00803PCX8600).

4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

DRAGON2PARTISN is an auxiliary program for generating ASCII input cross section data for the code PARTISN (version 4.0) by reading the ASCII output cross section data from the code DRAGON (version 3.05). This program is suitable for reactor design since it can generate hundreds of macroscopic cross sections for PARTISN in few seconds while reading different materials distributed in multiple output files of the DRAGON code.

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

None listed.

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

No restrictions on the number of energy groups or materials are noted because the program uses dynamic memory allocation.

7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

A few seconds.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

DRAGON2PARTISN can be compiled and installed on a PC with Linux OS.

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Linux operating system and GNU gcc compiler are required.
