3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED

ETOE (ENDF/B to MC**2 data conversion) accepts cross section data from a mode 2 ENDF/B tape and prepares the binary cross section and Legendre polynomial tape for the MC**2 code written by Argonne National Laboratory. The ETOE program processes formats I, II, and III ENDF/B data tapes.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

The restrictions as to storage limitations and options are basically those imposed by the 1966 ENDF/B restrictions and the MC**2 program (ACC Abstract 355).

[ top ]

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The average running time varies from 3 to 6 minutes on the CDC3600 per material processed dependent on resonance scattering calculations and Legendre polynomial calculations.

NESC0350/04

NEA-DB executed the test case included in the package on IBM 3081K in 35 CPU seconds.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

ETOE prepares input to the MC**2 program (see reference 2) using a mode 2 ENDF/B tape. The DAMMET program (ACC Abstract 384) may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format I data. The DAMMET and RIGEL programs (ACC Abstract 475) may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format II data and RIGEL may be used to create the mode 2 binary tape for ENDF/B format III data.

11. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS

65k memory and 7 magnetic tapes - standard input, standard output, ENDF/B, MC**2, 2 scratch tapes, and an overlay tape are required for the CDC3600. The IBM360 version requires 600k bytes of memory.

NESC0350/04

To execute the test case of the package on IBM 3081K, 136K bytes of main storage are required.

13. OPERATING SYSTEM OR MONITOR UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED: SCOPE 6.2B (CDC3600), OS/360 (IBM360).

NESC0350/04

The test case was executed on IBM 3081K under MVS-SP.

14. ANY OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS

The CDC3600 version of ETOE is made up of six overlays. Overlays 1-5 process the ENDF/B tape data. Overlay 6 rearranges the Legendre polynomial expansion data to the MC**2 format. An initial (additional) input card (format 6I6) is required for the IBM360 version, assigning the logical unit numbers required. Field 1 (cols. 1-6) identifies the card input unit, field 2 (cols. 7-12) the ENDF/B data tape unit, field 3 (cols. 13-18) the MC**2 tape unit, field 4 (cols. 19-24) the elastic and inelastic scattering cross section scratch unit, field 5 (cols. 25-30) the Legendre coefficient scratch unit, and field 6 (cols. 31-36) the W table unit.
