3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION
The KENO2MCNP program was written to convert KENO V.a input files to MCNP Format. This program currently only works with KENO Va geometries and will not work with geometries that contain more than a single array. A C++ graphical user interface was created that was linked to Fortran routines from KENO V.a that read the material library and Fortran routines from the MCNP Visual Editor that generate the MCNP input file. Either SCALE 5.0 or SCALE 5.1 cross section files will work with this release.

4. METHODS
The C++ binary executable reads the KENO V.a input file, the KENO V.a material library and SCALE data libraries. When an input file is read in, the input is stored in memory. The converter goes through and loads different sections of the input file into memory including parameters, composition, geometry information, array information and starting information. Many of the KENO V.a materials represent compositions that must be read from the KENO V.a material library. KENO2MCNP includes the KENO V.a FORTRAN routines used to read this material file for creating the MCNP materials. Once the file has been read in, the user must select 'Convert' to convert the file from KENO V.a to MCNP. This will generate the MCNP input file along with an output window that lists the KENO V.a composition information for the materials contained in the KENO V.a input file. The program can be run interactively by clicking on the executable or in batch mode from the command prompt.
