1. NAME AND TITLE

MIGROS3: A Code for the Generation of Group Constants for Reactor Calculations from Neutron Nuclear Data in KEDAK Format.

2. CONTRIBUTOR

Kernforschungszentrum, Karlsruhe, Germany.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran 77; IBM 3033 (P00265/I0370/00).

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

Group averaged neutron cross sections, energy resonance self shielding factors, elastic transfer elements up to P5 approximation, the inelastic, (n,2n) and (n,3n) transfer elements, fission spectra, etc., for coarse groups (26 groups in the standard case) in the fast neutron energy range are calculated.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Microscopic group cross sections are calculated from pointwise nuclear data, from resolved Briet-Wigner resonance parameters and statistical resonance parameters. Energy resonance self shielding factors are calculated from resolved Briet-Wigner parameters, from statistical parameters and from pointwise tabulated neutron cross sections. The elastic transfer elements are based on experimental angular distributions. The inelastic transfer elements use the resolved excited levels. In the continuum's range a statistical model given by an analytic function or tabulated values are used for the calculation of transfer matrices for inelastic scattering, (n,2n), and (n,3n) reactions. The fission spectra are calculated by the Watt or the Maxwellian formula.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

The evaluated neutron data used by MIGROS3 must be in KEDAK format.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The sample problem took about four minutes of CPU time on the IBM 3033.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

MIGROS3 runs on the IBM 3033.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

A Fortran-IV compiler is required. In particular, the IBM Enhanced Fortran IV compiler was used.
