3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION

HAMMER   performs    infinite
lattice,  one-dimensional cell  multigroup calculations,  followed
(optionally)  by one-dimensional,  few-group, multiregion  reactor
calculations with neutron balance edits.
top ]
4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Infinite lattice parameters are calculated by
means of multigroup transport theory, composite reactor parameters
by few-group diffusion theory.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

   Cell calculations - maxima of
         30 thermal groups
         54 epithermal groups
         20 space points
         20 regions
         18 isotopes
         10 mixtures
          3 thermal upscattering mixtures
        200 resonances per group
        no overlap or interference
        single level only
   Reactor calculations - maxima of
         40 regions
         40 mixtures
        250 space points
          4 groups

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

LITHE requires  1 minute,  HELP 9  minutes,
and HAMMER 2 minutes on the IBM360/65.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

HAMMER  combines  THERMOS  (NESC
Abstract  184),  MUFT, ZUT,  TUZ,  FOG  (NESC Abstract  28),  plus
thermal Fourier  transform, epithermal  integral transport  space-
dependent group  fluxes, and neutron  balance edits from  a single
set of input data as well as a library of cell results, compatible
reactor/exponential   assembly  criticality   searches  from   the
library.
top ]
8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

LITHE prepares a  thermal library
for  the  HAMMER  version  of   THERMOS  and  includes  epithermal
scattering sources.  HELP  prepares an epithermal library  for the
HAMMER  versions  of  MUFT, ZUT,  TUZ,  and  cell  space-dependent
calculations.  It  accepts slightly  modified MUFT  libraries plus
resonance parameters, either probability matrix or inelastic cross
sections.
