For more details see
weekly updated list (on Mondays)
- The list of hyperlinks
to abstracts of Monte
Carlo codes sorted by area of application has recently been updated.
- Results
from recent conferences addressing the Monte Carlo (MC) methods
- We have prepared
specific lists of available codes with links to their description for
the following applications;
- The January 2001
issue of the SCALE Newsletter is now available on the Web. It may be
found through the usual button clicks from the SCALE home page or you
may go directly
- Other useful
links about codes has recently been expanded.
- Searches
by keywords can be made
Integral
Experiments Data for Model and Code Validation
Compilations and evaluations
have been updated concerning the :
- International
Fuel Performance Experiments Data Base IFPE
- Shielding Experiments
Data Base (SINBAD) at RSICC
or NEADB
Work is in progress
on the International Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments Project. Further
information can be obtained from Enrico Sartori (sartori@oecd-nea.org)
Training
Courses & Tutorials:
For 2001, the following
training courses, tutorials or code user group meetings are proposed :
- MCNP
training course(s) (advanced 2-6 April 2001 at Imperial College, London,
UK and introductory mid-September 2001 at Saclay, France),
- TRIPOLI-3.5
(Monte Carlo) training course, (2-4 October, 2001 at NEA, Paris),
- MC
Visual Editor training course, (tentative),
- PENELOPE-2000
(electron-photon transport) workshop with tutorial, (November 2001,
NEA, Paris),
- NJOY
(Evaluated Nuclear Data Processing) Workshop
/ User Group meeting, 15 May 2001 at Aix-en-Provence, France,
- SCALE
4.4A - Criticality, Shielding, Source Term (tentative)
- Tutorials on deterministic
radiation transport codes (tentative)
The proposed courses, tutorials etc. will be held depending on user interest
and participation. For more information please contact : sartori@oecd-nea.org

Activities
in acquisitions and dispatches during 2000
Graphs describing the
evolution over the years of the Computer Program service concerning new
acqusitions / revisions of computer codes and integral experiments data,
the profile of users for 2000 as well as dispatch by area of interest are
shown here.
You will note that the number of integral experiments benchmark data has
decreased compared to 1999. The major reason is that one of the databases
has not undergone updates in 2000 and requests for it were therefore much
smaller than in the previous year. The request for Computer Program packages
increased over the previous year. Customers profile has not changed much
from the previous year. Half of the requests come from the national or governmental
funded laboratories, one quarter from academia and one quarter from industry
and engineering companies.
