VIXEN:a Code to Check Physical Consistency of Photon-Production Data in Revised ENDF Format

摘要

The VIXEN code reads the neutron cross-section and photon-production data files in ENDF format, checking them for format syntax, consistency, and physical realism. The code is intended to help cross-section evaluators and reviewers produce an ENDF data set free of typographical, syntactical, and simple physics errors. Suspected errors are flagged on the output listing, and quantities useful to the reviewer (e.g., total photon energy released and average photon energy of a continuum) are listed. The code, written in FORTRAN IV, is presently operational on CDC 6600, CDC 7600, and IBM 360 computers, and requires a 42k10 core memory. It is available from the Radiation Shielding Information Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
