XSUN-2022/SUSD3D n/γ sensitivity-uncertainty code package with recent JEFF-3.3 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 covariance data

Abstract

A new version of the XSUN-2022 computer code package is under preparation to be released through NEA Data Bank which includes the latest updates of the SUSD3D sensitivity/uncertainty (S/U) code and the corresponding cross section and covariance matrix libraries based on the JEFF-3.3, ENDF/B-VIII.0 and FENDL-3.2 evaluations. The XSUN code package is a user–computer interface environment, written in Xbase++ ® and using Compiler 1.90.331 and Alaska 32-Bit Linker, for user-friendly pre- and post-processing of the input and output data for a complete and self-consistent set of deterministic codes. The flowchart integrates the codes TRANSX, PARTISN, and SUSD3D, all available from the OECD/NEA Data Bank and RSICC. The codes are used for the preparation of multigroup nuclear cross-section, neutron and gamma transport calculations for criticality and shielding calculations and nuclear data sensitivity and uncertainty calculations, respectively. XSUN-2022 is the 3rd released version, after XSUN-2013 and -2017.
