  • Shielding Experiments Data Base (SINBAD) at RSICC or NEADB

    • Work is in progress on the International Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments Project.
     

Training Courses & Tutorials

For 2001, the following training courses, tutorials or code user group meetings are proposed :

  • MCNP  training course(s) (introductory and/or advanced) (2-6 April 2001 at Imperial College, London, UK and possibly in autumn),

  • TRIPOLI-3.5 (Monte Carlo) training course, (end of May),

  • MC Visual Editor  training course, (summer),

  • PENELOPE-2000  (electron-photon transport) workshop with tutorial, (late autumn),

  • NJOY  (Evaluated Nuclear Data Processing) Workshop / user group meeting, 15 May 2001 at Cadarache,

  • TART-2000  (Monte Carlo) tutorial (tentative)

  • Tutorials on deterministic radiation transport codes (tentative)

  • KENO-VI  and KENO-3D  (Monte Carlo) (tentative)

2000 - 2001

The year 2000 is coming to a close. We have survived the Y2K psychosis with no problems. The year 2000 has been a good vintage for the Computer Program Service. We take the opportunity of this first e-newsletter, to thank you all for your interest and support in the service. Particular thanks go to those who have contributed new codes and data in 2000. Their generous approach to sharing their work and know how is benefitting a very large community. Those who have not contributed, but continue to use the service, are invited to share their work (by release to the NEADB).

We wish you all a happy and prosperous 2001
