Technical Meeting on Nuclear Data Processing

23-26 September 2019, IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria

Agenda

The Agenda is available here.

Background

The Meeting is a follow-up of meeting of this subject in September 2018 ("TM on DP") and a previous meetings on this subject. A number of codes became available that can process evaluated nuclear data files. The focus is on (but not limited to) the ability to prepare data in ACE format for Monte Carlo calculations.

Objectives

The purpose of the Technical Meeting is to assess the current status and availability of nuclear data processing systems, with emphasis on their capability/capacity to support Monte Carlo calculations, including the treatment of self-shielding in the unresolved resonance region.

Scope

The GNDS format as an alternative to the traditional ENDF format was essentially finalised. Information of the current status and development plans for codes that can process this format is needed.

The code-verification project is in progress to validate codes that can generate libraries in ACE format. Results on the first stage (without self-shielding) were discussed at the previous meeting. Results on the second stage that includes self-shielding in the unresolved resonance range will be reported.

Road-map for the next stage of testing the self-shielding treatment in the codes generating ACE files is to be laid out.

Information on the status of other nuclear data processing codes is required.
