Note:

The IAEA-NDS-reports should not be considered as formal publications. When a nuclear data library is sent out by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section, it will be accompanied by an IAEA-NDS-report which should give the data user all necessary documentation on contents, format and origin of the data library.

IAEA-NDS-reports are updated whenever there is additional information of relevance to the users of the data library.

For citations care should be taken that credit is given to the author of the data library and/or to the data center which issued the data library. The editor of the IAEA-NDS-report is usually not the author of the data library.

Neither the originator of the data libraries nor the IAEA assume any liability for their correctness or for any damages resulting from their use.

FENDL/MG-2.0 AND FENDL/MC-2.0

The processed cross-section libraries for neutron-photon transport calculations

Version 1 of February 1998

Summary documentation by
H. Wienke and M. Herman

Summary

The data libraries FENDL/MG-2.0 and FENDL/MC-2.0 contain cross section data in multigroup and continuous-energy ACE format respectively, derived from FENDL/E-2.0, a library of selected evaluated neutron-nucleus and photon-atom interaction cross-sections for nuclides of importance for neutron-photon transport calculations for fusion reactor design, in the energy range from 10-5 eV up to 20 MeV [Ref. 1]. The library FENDL/E-2.0 has been developed from the previous version FENDL/E-1.1 [Ref. 2] by including thirteen replacing evaluations and six evaluations for additional materials. The new evaluations were selected from candidate ones submitted by five national projects viz. JENDL-FF (Japan), BROND (Russia), EFF (European Union), ENDF/B-VI (USA) and CENDL (China). The multigroup and continuous-energy cross-sections have been produced with the nuclear data processing system NJOY [Ref. 3]. For the evaluations taken over of FENDL/E-1 the processed cross section data, produced for FENDL/MG-1.0 and FENDL/MC-1.0 by R.E. MacFarlane [Refs. 4,5,6]), were included. The processed data for the new evaluations were provided by the contributing projects. Whenever necessary, these data were supplemented at IAEA/NDS using NJOY94.105.

A. Multigroup cross section data library FENDL/MG-2.0

The subdirectory [FENDL2.TRANSPORT.PROCESSED.FENDLMG] contains the following files:

- GENDF formatted files (filename extension .G), output of the NJOY module GROUPR (neutron-interaction and photon-production cross section data only).

- MATXS formatted files (filename extension .M), for use in the coupled neutron-photon transport calculations with discrete-ordinate codes such as ANISN, ONEDANT, etc. These MATXS files were generated by post-processing the .G files mentioned above, using the MATXSR module of the NJOY code system, along with the GENDF files of photon-atom interaction data. The latter, produced with the NJOY module GAMINR, are not included in the present subdirectory.

- A file named AAAREADME.WWW which contains the summary of information presented in this report.

The multigroup data library FENDL/MG-2.0 has a total size of 332.1 Megabytes (uncompressed) and contains 57 data files in GENDF format (198.4 Megabytes) and the same number of files in MATXS format (133.7 Megabytes). Each data file corresponds to one material. The list of available GENDF and MATXS formatted data files is given in Appendix A. Appendix C describes the MATXS format.

Specifications:

The specifications for processing the FENDL/E-2.0 library into the multigroup coupled neutron-photon library are:

    - Neutron groups: 175, in Vitamin-J structure
    - Gamma groups: 42, in Vitamin-J structure
    - Neutron weight function: VITAMIN-E (IWT=11 in NJOY)
    - Gamma weight function: 1/E with roll-offs (IWT=3 in NJOY)
    - Legendre order for neutrons and photons:
      P-6 for transport calculations correction to P-5
    - Temperatures:
      300 Kelvin (plus 600, 900, 1500 Kelvin for data from JENDL-FF)
    - Dilution factors: see Table 1
    - Reconstruction, linearization and thinning tolerances used in
      RECONR: 0.2%
    - Accuracy for resonance reconstruction up to 7 digits
    - Reactions included:
            All reactions contained in the evaluations
            Energy balance heating (MT-301)
            Kinematic heating (MT=443)
            Damage (MT=444)
            Thermal data only for H-2, Be-9, C-12, N-14, O-16, Al-27, V-51,
                         Fe-56, Zr-nat, Ga-nat, Nb-93, Mo-nat,  Sn-nat, W-nat, Au-197
            Gas production data: see Table 2

B. Library of continuous-energy data FENDL/MC-2.0

The subdirectory [FENDL2.TRANSPORT.PROCESSED.FENDLMC] contains neutron and coupled neutron-photon pointwise cross section data files in the ACE (ASCII) format, with filename extension ACE, intended for use in the Monte-Carlo code MCNP. The data have been derived with the ACER module of the NJOY system. Files with extension .XSDIR consist of one line with the correct "file" and "route" entries. These .XSDIR files have also been included in the index file XSDIR-FENDL used by the MCNP code.

The specifications used in processing with NJOY/ACER are:

    - Temperature: 300 Kelvin = 2.585E-8
    - No thinning
    - Reactions included:
            All reactions present in evaluations
            Damage (MT = 444, only for Al-27, Fe-56, Ta-181 and Au-197)
            No thermal data
            Gas production data (see Table 2)

The library has a total size of 149.5 Megabytes (uncompressed). It contains 57 data files. Each data file corresponds to one material. The list of available ACE formatted data files is given in Appendix B.

C. File name conventions in FENDL/MG-2.0 and FENDL/MC-2.0:

In both sublibraries (FENDL/MG-2.0 and FENDL/MC-2.0) the file name convention is the same as the one in FENDL/E-2.0 eg:

"H002BR2.M,-.G,-.ACE,-.XSDIR" H-2 data from BROND-2;
"SI030E6.M,-.G,-.ACE,-.XSDIR " Si-30 data from ENDF/B-VI;
"MO000JFF.M,-.G,-.ACE,-.XSDIR " Mo-nat data from JENDL-FF;
"FE056EFF3.M,-.G,-.ACE,-.XSDIR " Fe-56 data from EFF-3;
"TA181J3.M,-.G,-.ACE,-.XSDIR " Ta-181 data from JENDL-3.1.

The atomic number is always written with three digits, starting with '0' when smaller than 100 and '00' when smaller than 10.

The inputs for NJOY, as used by R.E. MacFarlane, the contributors of the new evaluations and by the IAEA/NDS, for generating the multigroup and ACE data files, are given in Appendix D. These should help the users to check, repeat or extend the work.

Appendix C: Brief description of "MATXS" Format

The MATXS files are produced by MATXSR module of NJOY. The MATXSR module of NJOY reformats multigroup constants from the GENDF tape (i.e the output file of GROUPR for neutron interaction cross sections and photon production cross sections or the output file of GAMINR for photon atomic interaction cross sections) into the MATXS interface format. The MATXS file has a very general organization to hold arbitrary vectors and matrices. The file is first divided into "data types" such as neutron scattering, photon production, gamma scattering, and neutron thermal data. Each data type is assigned a name (NSCAT, NG, GSCAT, NTHERM). Data types are distinguished by the choice of incident and secondary group structures. Each data type is divided into materials specified by nuclide, temperature, and background cross section. Each material is further subdivided into "vector partials" and "matrix partials". These reaction partials are labeled with Hollerith names so there is no limit on the quantities that can be stored. MATXSR reads cross sections from the GENDF tape, assigns the Hollerith names, and packs the cross sections into MATXS format. The code TRANSX 2.0 [Ref. 9], for instance, serves to interface MATXS cross section libraries to nuclear transport codes such as ANISN, ONEDANT etc. TRANSX reads nuclear data from a library in MATXS format and produces transport tables compatible with many discrete-ordinates (SN) and diffusion codes. The FENDL multigroup library may be post-processed using TRANSX to produce tables for neutron, photon or coupled transport for specific application calculations.

The MATXS format is briefly described below [priv. comm. R.E. McFarlane]:

Material cross section file:

This file contains cross section vectors and matrices for all particles, materials, and reactions; delayed neutron spectra by time group; and decay heat and photon spectra. Formats given are for file exchange only.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE FENDL-2 LIBRARY

(As recommended at the IAEA Advisory Group Meeting on FENDL,

held at IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria, March 1997.)

The master copy of the FENDL-2 library resides with the Nuclear Data Section of the International Atomic Energy Agency. To facilitate user access to the library the official copy of FENDL-2 will be distributed to the major nuclear data centres in Europe (NEA Data Bank, Paris), Japan (JNDC, Tokai-mura), Russia (CJD,Obninsk) and USA (NNDC, Brookhaven and RSIC, Oak Ridge). As agreed between data centers, sharing common FENDL information, the recipients are receiving now the same products from all above centers. The data are available and may be further distributed to the user community according to the customer service options given below. Each FENDL sub-library will be in a single data set, i.e. Activation, Decay, etc. in the 8 mm tape, 6 mm tape, 4 mm tape or standard 9 track magnetic tape (6250 bpi or 1600 bpi) and CD-ROM options. The interested scientists may request FENDL-2 (or parts of it) directly from the IAEA/NDS or from one of these centers.
