• List of the programs by subject field 
• Searches by keywords can be made
• The list of MCNP (ACE format) libraries has  been updated. There is now a large set of such libraries available based on the most recent evaluations and for several temperatures.

Integral Experiments Data for Model and Code Validation

• Shielding Experiments Data Base (SINBAD) at NEADB or RSICC 
• Work is in progress on the International Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments Project. See IRPhE . Here you can download a recent summary (July 2002). Further information can be obtained from Enrico Sartori (sartori@oecd-nea.org )
• The International Fuel Performance Experiments Database (IFPE) was recently enriched with new experiments and some evaluations of the experiments were revised. 

Workshops, Training Courses & Tutorials planned for 2003: 

• 2nd International Workshop on 'Advanced radiation transport simulation with PENELOPE (electron-photon transport)', to be held in Salou (Tarragona) from 8-10 January 2003.(Penelope User Group meeting)
• Workshop on Common Tools for Deterministic Radiation Transport, for Monte Carlo and Hybrid Codes (25-26 September 2003 in connection with the conference SNA-2003). The intention is to present in particular recently developed tools for modelling 3D problems, including in particular automated mesh generation, (X-Y-Z), (R-THETA-Z) and the visualisation of the corresponding results to facilitate interpretation and for improved documentation.  Presentation and discussion of methods and ideas for ensuring that the same models are used in MC and DT for benchmarking; development of compatible and common mesh generation and visualisation tools for MC and DT; Methods for 3D Sensitivity Analysis / Uncertainty Analysis should also be demonstrated. The Data Bank Executive Group has strongly recommended the development of such tools. If you are interested in participating, please fill in the form.
