NDF – Nuclear Data File

The NDF package includes processing codes to generate nuclear reaction data for discrete-ordinate particle transport codes.  Processing reduces the data by judiciously binning them with respect to incident and outgoing particle energies and generates flux-averaged speeds, cross-sections, transfer matrices, deposition energies, production energies and fission information.  The package also includes a code library with routines to access the processed data.

Current efforts include generating data to account for thermal motions of the target. This affects cross-section (sometimes called thermal broadening) and outgoing particle energy / angle data.
