3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

Convert the energy distribution data format (in ENDF/B-IV file 5) from various types of laws to tabulated data points in linear-linear interpolation form.

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

1) Convert the function parameters to tabulated data with sufficient energy points
2) Linearization
3) Add zero-value points at the ends of the energy region
4) Normalization

[ top ]

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

The input data file must be correctly coded in ENDF/B-IV format especially file 5.

[ top ]

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

10 seconds on IBM 3081. 4.2 seconds are required for the test problem on VAX. In general, execution times depend on the size of the input data file.

IAEA0898/02

The test case included in this package has been executed by NEA-DB on a VAX-11/780 in 4.2 seconds of CPU time.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

For ENDF/B-IV file 5 which is already in linear tabulated data form, F5TAB may be useful for re-normalization if some of the data has been changed.
