ORIGIN: ENDF/B-IV

 

WEIGHTING SPECTRUM: Maxwellian (1/E) fission spectrum with a one percent tolerance.

 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORYX-E increases the versatility of the program ORIGEN , the isotope generation and depletion code package by providing basic cross section and decay information for light element, fission-product, and actinide nuclides.
This data library package results from data compiled for ORNL Chemical Technology Division's work with ORIGEN and from a 2-year effort of the cross section evaluation working group (CSEWG) fission product task force.

4. METHODS

The data is generated from ENDF/B-IV and is formatted for input to the ORIGEN code. Applications include calculations for waste projection, decay heat, nuclear safeguards, and fuel cycle economics.

The data library is generated from the ENDF/B-IV fission product data. The capture cross section of all fission product nuclides for which capture cross section information is given (about 180 nuclides) were processed into 124 energy groups using MINX. Multigroup cross sections were generated at 0 degrees with infinite dilution and one broad thermal group. Fine group data was generated using a Maxwellian (1/E) fission spectrum with a one percent tolerance.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

To collapse the cross sections, update the ORIGEN data tape, and run an ORIGEN sample problem took about one minute on the IBM 360/91 (CPU) for about 10 time steps.

8. RELATED OR AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

COLAPS - can be used to collapse the fine cross sections by weighting with a user-specified reference spectrum.
UPDATE - will update the ORIGEN fission product data library using the cross sections generated with COLAPS.
Both utilities are included in the data package.
