RSICC CODE PACKAGE PSR-572

1.         NAME AND TITLE

ENDVER/GUI: The ENDF File Verification Support Package.

 

AUXILLARY PROGRAMS:

EXFOR and CINDA databases, and software providing data search and presentation

PREPRO 2004 - ENDF pre-processing code

ZVVIEW interactive graphic data display package

2.         CONTRIBUTORS

International Atomic Energy Agency, Nuclear Data Section, Vienna, AUSTRIA through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

3.         CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

FORTRAN, JAVA-2, C, C++; PC Windows, Linux (P00572PCX8600).

4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

Experimental and evaluated nuclear reaction data are compiled world-wide in EXFOR and in ENDF format, respectively. The ENDVER package can be used to convert EXFOR data into computational C4 format, display them and compare graphically with the contents of a specified evaluated data file. The package also contains utilities to retrieve selected materials from a master library in ENDF format, extract cross sections (including differential and double differential data) and output them in two-column PLOTTAB "curves" format.

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

The ENDVER/GUI package is intended as a utility for evaluators and data compilers to display experimental data from the EXFOR database and compare them to comparable data in evaluated nuclear data files.

The package has two parts:

- Data retrieval and manipulation program package

- Graphics User Interface

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

None stated.

7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Entirely dependent on problem size.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

ENDVER/GUI runs in PC console mode within Windows XP, Vista and 7 operating systems or Linux. After installation ENDVER/GUI takes about 600 Mbytes storage size. 

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The source code was written in FORTRAN, JAVA-2, C, C++.  For recompilation, compliant compilers are required.  Users are also required to have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed.
