                     In Summary: International Conference on
                  Nuclear Data for Science and Technology
   The most recent Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology was
  held 9-13 May 1994 at the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee USA. Two
  hundred forty-eight scientists from 29 countries were registered. They
  presented almost 300 papers. These included 48 invited presentations. Sessions
  were divided into 11 plenary sessions, 9 sessions of contributed oral reports,
  2 sessions of contributed poster reports, 1 tutorial session, and a
  round-table discussion on Friday afternoon. The topics for the plenary
  sessions included: International Cooperation and Initiatives; Standards and
  Facilities; Experiments; Theory; Evaluation and Validation; Large Evaluated
  Data Files; Applications I; Fission and Fusion; Medium Energy; Applications
  II; and Applications III. The session on Applications II, held Friday morning,
  featured C. Rubbia (CERN in Switzerland), C. Bowman and A. Michaudon (Los
  Alamos National Laboratory) discussing the uses of spallations sources in
  fission and basic physics applications. This session was opened to the public,
  and about 310 people attended. M. Kellett of the University of Birmingham in
  the United Kingdom won the best student paper award. The title of Honorary
  Chairman was bestowed upon R. W. Peelle in recognition of his many
  contributions and influences to the field of Nuclear Data. Dr. Alvin Weinberg
  was the featured speaker at the awards banquet.
   The Conference was organized and sponsored by the Oak Ridge National
  Laboratory. Additional sponsors were the U. S. Department of Energy, the
  University of Tennessee, the American Nuclear Society, the American Physical
  Society, the European Nuclear Society, and the International Union of Pure and
  Applied Physics. Cooperation was also provided by the International Atomic
  Energy Agency and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. Assistance with the social
  breaks was provided by EG&G Ortec, Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., and
  the Tennessee Valley Authority.
   The papers were of excellent quality, the weather was mild and pleasant
  during the week of the Conference, and the hotel management provided excellent
  facilities and prompt attention to the social activities. And the peak of a
  partial solar eclipse occurred during the lunch break on Tuesday--a fitting
  celestial display for a scientific meeting!

                 CHANGES TO THE COMPUTER CODE COLLECTION
   Four changes were made to the computer code collection during the month.
  One new code system was packaged and added to the collection and three
  existing code packages were replaced with newly frozen versions. One change
  resulted from a foreign contribution.
  CCC-414/DIAMANT2
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language: Fortran 77
  Computers: PC 386
  Format: DOS
   The Nuclear Research Center in Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany,
  through the NEA Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed the newly
  frozen version 2.0 of DIAMANT2, which solves the two-dimensional static
  multigroup neutron transport equation in planar regular triangular geometry.
  Both regular and adjoint, inhomogeneous and homogeneous problems subject to
  vacuum, reflective or input-specified boundary flux conditions are solved.
  Anisotropy is operational in this new release for the scattering source.  The
  discrete ordinates approximation for the angular variable is used in finite
  difference form which is solved with a diamond difference approximation.
   DIAMANT2 runs on IBM 386 personal computers under the DOS operating system.
  Both the Fortran 77 source and executable are included in the package which is
  transmitted on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB) diskette in self-extracting
  compressed DOS files.  Reference:  KfK 4133 (June 1987).  Fortran 77; PC 386
  (C00414/PC386/00).
  CCC-613/VALE 1.1
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language: Fortran 77
  Computers: PC 386/486; workstations
  Format: tar, DOS
   Oak Ridge National Laboratory released a newly frozen version of this
  multigroup diffusion theory neutronics code system for solving two- and three-
  dimensional problems for trigonal geometries.  VALE, Version 1.1, corrects a
  conflict in naming the interface data files on workstations and a problem
  related to direct access block size and record length specifications.  Other
  minor changes were also made in this release.
   VALE runs on either IBM 386 and 486 personal computers or IBM RISC/6000
  workstations and is transmitted on two DS/HD 3.5-in. (1.44 MB) diskettes in
  tar format or one DS/HD 3.5-in. (1.44 MB) diskette in self-extracting
  compressed DOS files.  The package includes source files, PC executables and
  sample cases.  References:  ORNL-5792 (Aug. 1981), ORNL-5711 (June 1981), and
  ORNL-5229/R1 (July 1979).  Fortran 77; PC 386 and 486 (C00613/PC386/01) or IBM
  RISC/6000 (C00613/IRISC/01).
  CCC-629/SESOIL
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language: Fortran 77
  Computers: PC
  Format: DOS
   Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed this one-dimensional, vertical
  transport code system for the unsaturated soil zone.  SESOIL performs long-
  term simulations of chemical transport and transformations in the soil.  The
  model uses theoretically derived equations to represent water transport,
  sediment transport on the land surface, pollutant transformation, and
  migration of the pollutant to the atmosphere and groundwater.  The processes
  modeled by SESOIL are categorized into three cycles:  hydrology, sediment, and
  pollutant transport.  The RM/Fortran Compiler, Version 2, was used to create
  the executable included in the package.  The Fortran source, executable, and
  sample input and output are transmitted on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB)
  diskette in DOS format.  Reference:  PUBL-SW-200-93 (June 1993).  Fortran 77;
  IBM PC (C00629/IBMPC/00).
  PSR-333/CHENDF 6.9
  OP SYS:
  Language: Fortran 77; ANSI 77 Fortran
  Computers: Many
  Format: DOS
   The National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton,
  New York, contributed a newly frozen version of these utility codes written to
  process ENDF-6 formatted files including all formats approved up to and
  including the October 1993 CSEWG meeting except for the Generalized R-Matrix
  resonance region format and the generalized format for covariances (file 30).
  The programs are written in ANSI-77 Fortran and should operate on any computer
  with sufficient memory and a Fortran compiler conforming to this standard.
  The SETMDC program is included to convert the source codes from one mode to
  the other.  The standard batch mode version is indicated by "ANS" code and
  the interactive version by "VAX" code.  One DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB) diskette
  written in self-extracting compressed DOS files is used for transmitting the
  package.  Reference:  Informal report (Nov. 1993).  Fortran 77; Vax family and
  IBM (P00333/MNYCP/01).
