1. NAME AND TITLE

UNIFY-ECN: A Program to Calculate Fast Neutron Data for Structural Materials.

2. CONTRIBUTOR

Chinese Nuclear Data Center, Beijing, China.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran 77; CDC Cyber 825/170.

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

Based on the unified model the UNIFY code is used for the calculation of the fast neutron data for structural materials, which involves: (1) cross section- total cross section, all kinds of reactions channels, the cross section of the discrete levels and continuum emission, (2) angular distribution- elastic scattering angular distribution and its Legendre coefficients and transition matrix elements,the Legendre coefficients of the discrete levels in the inelastic scattering channels, (3) energy spectra, (4) double differential cross section of the inelastic channel and of the neutron outgoing channels.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Gaussian integration is used in the program for all kinds of numerical integrations.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

The UNIFY code can be used for the incident neutron energies from 1 KeV to 20 MeV. The numbers of the incident energies could not exceed 50.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

For En=14 MeV, 200 seconds of CPU computer time is needed, while En=20 MeV requires 500 seconds. But for lower energies it is very fast.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

UNIFY-ECN runs on the CDC Cyber 825/170.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The code was written in Fortran 77 and requires the ICSSCU subroutine from the Internal Mathematics and Statistics Library (IMSL). ICSSCU is a subroutine whose function is to fit cubic splines.
