Access to the CPS Web pages has been growing over the recent years. Graphs with trends have been updated recently.

Integral Experiments Data for Model and Code Validation

Compilations and evaluations have been updated concerning the :
  • 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. 

Training Courses & Tutorials: 

     Recently completed Workshops / Courses
  • Workshop on Computing Radiation Dosimetry (CRD-2002) with embedded training course on MCNPX - Monte Carlo Code System for Multiparticle & High Energy Applications, was held at the Instituto Tecnologico e Nuclear (ITN), Sacavem, Lisbon, Portugal 22-28 June 2002.
The MCNPX specific training was held from 24-28 June. The Workshop proceedings will be printed in the autumn 2002. More details are provided in the CRD-2002 Web page

For 2002 the following training courses/workshops are planned: 

  • MCNP - Introductory Course including MCNP5 Features, from 9-13 September 2002 at the University of Stuttgart, Germany
  • SCALE Physor 2002 Workshop in Korea 14-18 October 2002, hosted by KAERI 
  • MCNPX Training course (November 2002 at SCK-CEN, Mol, Belgium)
  • PENELOPE (electron-photon transport) workshop with tutorial, (end 2002/ early 2003, at NEA in Paris) (see previous  workshop report)
  • AMPX-2000 Cross-Section Processing System (summer, autumn 2002), Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. (proposed programme)
    • Tutorials on deterministic radiation (DT) transport codes (tentatively early 2003). The intention is to present also 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.


    The proposed courses, tutorials etc. will be held depending on user interest and participation. For more information please contact : sartori@oecd-nea.org
