EASY-II: a system for modelling of n, d, p, {\gamma} and {\alpha} activation and transmutation processes
EASY-II is designed as a functional replacement for the previous European
Activation System, EASY-2010. It has extended nuclear data and new software,
FISPACT-II, written in object-style Fortran to provide new capabilities for
predictions of activation, transmutation, depletion and burnup. The new
FISPACT-II code has allowed us to implement many more features in terms of
energy range, up to GeV; incident particles: alpha, gamma, proton, deuteron and
neutron; and neutron physics: self-shielding effects, temperature dependence,
pathways analysis, sensitivity and error estimation using covariance data.
These capabilities cover most application needs: nuclear fission and fusion,
accelerator physics, isotope production, waste management and many more. In
parallel, the maturity of modern general-purpose libraries such as TENDL-2012
encompassing thousands of target nuclides, the evolution of the ENDF format and
the capabilities of the latest generation of processing codes PREPRO-2012,
NJOY2012 and CALENDF-2010 have allowed the FISPACT-II code to be fed with more
robust, complete and appropriate data: cross-sections with covariance,
probability tables in the resonance ranges, kerma, dpa, gas and radionuclide
production and 24 decay types. All such data for the five most important
incident particles are placed in evaluated data files up to an incident energy
of 200 MeV. The resulting code and data system, EASY-II, includes many new
features and enhancements. It has been extensively tested, and also benefits
from the feedback from wide-ranging validation and verification activities
performed with its predecessor.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
Annotated directory of US Government information system projects of potential interest to NASA/SSPO
The purpose of this research activity was to develop a list for NASA of major U.S. government information systems contacts who are able to cooperate with NASA on technical interchange. The list contains the names of appropriate managers involved in major information system projects, U.S. government office officials, and their hierarchy up to the highest officials whose major responsibilities include government information systems development
Space Shuttle interactive meteorological data system study
Although focused toward the operational meteorological support review and definition of an operational meteorological interactive data display systems (MIDDS) requirements for the Space Meteorology Support Group at NASA/Johnson Space Center, the total operational meteorological support requirements and a systems concept for the MIDDS network integration of NASA and Air Force elements to support the National Space Transportation System are also addressed
