NADS – Nuclear and Atomic Data Systems

NADS is a Java Applet that allows for one to view Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (ENDL) formatted data. NADS (Version 1.3) supports tables, 2-D, 3-D, and 4-D data plots, and a database viewer. The current viewable databases are ENDL v94, ENDL v99, ENDF/B5, ENDF/B6 (alpha release) and Radchem. Cross section heating and processed data are now available. User comments are desired to help shape this product and they may be submitted within the NADS applet or by email to mckinley9@llnl.gov. The only requirement is an internet connection and a web browser with Java 1.4.1+.

If you wish to use the data directly on the LC machines, then you can access them at /usr/gapps/data/nuclear. Please link and do not copy the data to conserve disk space.

To get added to the NADS email list, send an email to mckinley9@llnl.gov.
