3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION
The APPLE-2 code has the following functions:
(1) It plots multi-group energy spectra of neutron and/or gamma ray fluxes calculated by ANISN, DOT-3.5, and MORSE.
(2) It gives an overview plot of multi-group neutron fluxes calculated by ANISN and DOT-3.5. The scalar neutron flux phi(r,E) is plotted with the spatial parameter r linear along the Y-axis, logE along the X-axis and log phi(r,E) in the Z direction.
(3) It calculates the spatial distribution and region volume integrated values of reaction rates using the scalar flux calculated with ANISN and DOT-3.5.
(4) Reaction rate distribution along the R or Z direction may be plotted.
(5) An overview plot of reaction rates or scalar fluxes summed over specified groups may be plotted. R(ri,zi) or phi(ri,zi) is plotted with spatial parameters r and z along the X- and Y-axes in an orthogonal coordinate system.
(6) Angular flux calculated by ANISN is rearranged and a shell source at any specified spatial mesh point may be punched out in FIDO format. The shell source obtained may be employed in solving deep penetration problems with ANISN, when the entire reactor system is divided into two or more parts and the neutron fluxes in two adjoining parts are connected by using the shell source.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION
(a) The input data specification is made as simple as possible by making use of the input data required in the radiation transport code. For example, geometry related data in ANISN and DOT are transmitted to APPLE-2 along with scalar flux data so as to reduce duplicity and errors in reproducing these data.
(b) Most the input data follow the free form FIDO format developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and used in the ANISN code.
Furthermore, the mixture specifying method used in ANISN is also employed by APPLE-2.
(c) Libraries for some standard response functions required in fusion reactor design have been prepared and are made available to users of the 42-group neutron, 21-group gamma ray coupled cross section set GICX40. For fluxes calculated with arbitrary cross sections, response functions must be supplied by card input.
(d) When drawing energy spectra of fluxes calculated with the GICX40 set, there is no need to input energy group structure data as they are built into the APPLE-2 code.
(e) Reaction rates calculated with more than one flux may be drawn on a graph for comparison.
(f) The graphical outputs are devised so that they may readily be used in reports.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM
Variable
dimensioning is employed in APPLE. There is no practical limitation to the number of reaction rates to be calculated and plotted on a graph, but the same type of plot symbol will appear for every 17th reaction rate curve.
If a problem requiring a core size larger than 50 kwords is to be solved, two cards in the FTMAIN routine of APPLE specifying blank common should be changed:
COMMON D(XXXXX)
LIMM=XXXXX
