RSICC CODE PACKAGE PSR-585

1.         NAME AND TITLE

ETOE-2 - Cross-Sections Library for Program MC**2 Generator from ENDF/B.

2.         CONTRIBUTORS

Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL through the Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

3.         CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran + Assembler; IBM 3033 (P00585I303300).

4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

ETOE (ENDF/B to MC**2 data conversion) accepts cross section data from a mode 2 ENDF/B tape and prepares the binary cross section and Legendre polynomial tape for the MC**2 code written by Argonne National Laboratory. The ETOE program processes formats I, II, and III ENDF/B data tapes.

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

ETOE prepares input to the MC**2 program using a mode 2 ENDF/B tape. The DAMMET program may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format I data. The DAMMET and RIGEL programs may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format II data and RIGEL may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format III data.

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

The restrictions as to storage limitations and options are basically those imposed by the 1966 ENDF/B restrictions and the MC**2 program.

7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

      The average running time varies from 3 to 6 minutes on the CDC3600 per material processed dependent on resonance scattering calculations and Legendre polynomial calculations.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

65k memory and 7 magnetic tapes - standard input, standard output, ENDF/B, MC**2, 2 scratch tapes, and an overlay tape are required for the CDC3600. The IBM360 version requires 600k bytes of memory.

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

SCOPE 6.2B (CDC3600), OS/360 (IBM360).
