3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

SUSD calculates sensitivity coefficients for one and two-dimensional transport problems. Variance and standard deviation of detector responses or design parameters can be obtained using cross-section covariance matrices. In neutron transport problems, this code is able to perform sensitivity-uncertainty analysis for secondary angular distribution (SAD) or secondary energy distribution (SED).

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The first-order perturbation theory is used to obtain sensitivity coefficients. The method described in the distributed report is employed to consider SAD/SED effect.

[ top ]

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

Variable dimension is used so that there is no limitation in each array size but the total core size.

[ top ]

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

It depends on type, dimension and size of problems to be solved.

NEA-1151/03

This revised version of the code has only been compiled by NEA-DB on IBM 3090 and VAX 8810 computers. No test cases were available for execution.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

GROUPSR: An additional code module for the NJOY code system to prepare partial cross sections for SAD sensitivity analysis.
SEADR: An additional code module for the NJOY code system to prepare group group covariance matrices for SAD/SED uncertainty analysis.
