useful links about codes has recently been expanded.
Web Accesses to the Computer
Program Service
During
the last six years we have observed a spectacular increase of accesses to
the information on the Computer Program Service: Computer Readable Computer
Program Manuals
A major effort was devoted to
transforming paper-based documentation into electronic form and to include
it in the Master File system. Our plan is to distribute in the future all
information concerning computer programs including manuals in computer readable
form be it via Internet or on CD-ROM. The completion of the conversion of
manuals from paper form to PDF form (requires Acrobat Reader) is scheduled
for end of 2002. More than half of the computer program packages are now
in full computer readable form. This should then improve the response time
to client requests.
Computer Program Abstracts
on CD-ROM
A new edition of the Computer
Program Abstracts on CD-ROM (based on ACCESS), will be distributed end of
August / early September 2001.
Training
Courses, Workshops & Tutorials:
The
summary & proceedings of the NJOY
(Evaluated Nuclear Data Processing) Workshop
/ User Group meeting, 15 May 2001 at Aix-en-Provence, France, have been
completed.
A
brief summary of a recent Workshop on Transport
Theory, held at the Imperial College London and sponsored by the Nuclear
Science / Data Bank Committees
For
2001, the following training courses, tutorials or code user group
meetings are proposed :
PENELOPE-2000
(electron-photon transport) workshop
with tutorial, (5-7 November 2001, NEA, Paris),
Tutorials
on deterministic radiation transport codes (tentatively early 2002).
The intention is to present also recently developed tools for modelling
3D problems, including automated mesh generation, (X-Y-Z), (R-THETA-Z)
and the visualisation of the corresponding results to facilitate interpretation
and for improved documentation. 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.
