RSICC CODE PACKAGE CCC-825

1.         NAME AND TITLE

XSUN-2013: Windows interface environment for transport and sensitivity-uncertainty software TRANSX-2, PARTISN and SUSD3D.

2.         CONTRIBUTORS

Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia, through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

3.         CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Xbase++ Alaska, Windows (C00825PCX8600 NEADB ID: NEA-1882/01).

4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

The Cross-section Transport Sensitivity and Uncertainty (XSUN) package is a Windows interface for running deterministic transport computer code sequence. At present, the system integrates the codes for the nuclear cross-section preparation (TRANSX-2.15), the code PARTISN for 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional neutron and gamma transport calculations and the SUSD3D code for the nuclear data sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. XSUN was developed to help users in preparation of input cards, rapid modification and execution of these codes. User-friendly plotting codes are also available to produce 2D color schemes of PARTISN geometries (e.g. x-y, r-Theta, etc…) and for 3-dimensional visualization of neutron fluxes and spectra.


5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

The user - computer interface is based on the Xbase++ Compiler 1.90.331 and Alaska 32-Bit Linker.


6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

This is a beta version, available for friendly-testing.


7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Running time is case-dependent.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

PC, x86 or x86_64

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Windows Operating Systems.
