Use of a general-purpose heat-transfer code for casting simulation

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Erickson, W.C.

1975-07-01

The practical use of numerical techniques in simulating casting solidification dictate that a general purpose heat transfer code be used and that results be obtained in an easy-to-analyze format. Color film plotting routines were developed for use with NASA's CINDA-3G heat transfer code; the combination of which meet the above criteria. The subroutine LQSLTR written for SINDA, the successor to CINDA-3G, was verified by comparing calculated results obtained using LQSLTR with those obtained using the specific heat method for handling the heat of fusion. Excellent agreement existed when similar data was used. When the more restrictive requirement of a 1 0 F melting range was used, comparable results were obtained. Uranium and lead rod castings were cast in instrumented graphite molds and the solidification sequence simulated using CINDA-3G. Discrepancies attributed to initial assumptions of instantaneous mold filling, uniform melt temperature, and intimate metal/mold contact were encountered. Further calculations using a model incorporating a gap between the mold and casting showed that the intimate contact assumption could not be used; a three-dimensional model also showed that the thermocouple assemblies used with the platinum--platinum-10 percent rhodium were a significant perturbation to the system. An L-shaped steel casting was simulated and the results compared to those reported in the literature. The experimental data for this casting were reproduced within the accuracy permitted by the thermal conductivity of the sand, thus demonstrating that agreement can be obtained when the mold material does not act as a chill.

INIS, CINDA, the EXFOR data and the world information flow

Tubbs, N.

1976-01-01

The role and working methods of specialized data compilation centres are considered in relation to the CODATA/UNISIST study on data dissemination and some technicalities of the use of network linked computers for scientific information retrieval. This general approach suggests that INIS should be used in the ''data referral'' function for nuclear science, and that data requests should in interactive retrieval be routed in cascade from INIS to the appropriate specialized data file. An outline sketch of a cheap and highly decentralized network shows that only a simple data file pointer need be added to INIS in order to make it suitable for use as an aid to retrieving numerical data.

Japan Nuclear Reaction Data Center (JCPRG), Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University, Steering Committee progress report

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

NONE

2007-11-15

The Japan Nuclear Reaction Data Center (JCPRG) was approved as an organisation of Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University and established on April 1, 2007. In addition to nuclear data activities carried out by JCPRG (Japan-Charged Particle Nuclear Reaction Data Group), the centre is concerned with the evaluation of nuclear reaction data in nucleosynthesis in the universe. In order efficiently to compile reaction data obtained by using radioactive ion beam, the centre signed a research contract with RIKEN Nishina Center. We are scanning 16 journals for Japanese charged-particle and photo-nuclear nuclear reaction data compilation. From April 2006 to March 2007, CPND and PhND in 45 references (453 records, 1.83 MB) have been newly compiled for NRDF. Usually new data are released at the JCPRG web site several months prior to EXFOR. Since the 2006 NRDC meeting, we have made 104 new entries and have revised or deleted 142 old entries. Intensive numerical data compilations have been done. These data were shown in tabular form in dissertations which are (partially) published in Journals. About 30 new entries were compiled from these data. We have prepared CINDA batches for CPND published in Japan every half year. Each batch covers 6 issues of each of 4 Japanese journals JPJ, PTP, NST and JNRS. Bibliographies for neutron induced reaction data have been compiled by JAEA Nuclear Data Center as before. A new web-based NRDF search and plot system on MySQL was released in July, 2007. New compilation, which has been finalized for NRDF, but not for EXFOR, can be obtained from this site. DARPE (another NRDF search and plot system written in Perl) is also available at http://www.jcprg.org/darpe/. EXFOR/ENDF (http://www.jcprg.org/exfor/) search and plot system is available. We have also developed following utilities: PENDL (http://www.jcprg.org/endf/) and RENORM (http://www.jcprg.org/renorm). We are developing a new search system of CINDA. This is an extension of EXFOR/ENDF search

From mid-2004 onwards, the major nuclear reaction databases (EXFOR, CINDA and Endf) and services (Web and CD-Roms retrieval systems and specialized applications) have been functioning within a modern computing environment as multi-platform software, working under several operating systems with relational databases. Subsequent work at the IAEA has focused on three areas of development: revision and extension of the contents of the databases; extension and improvement of the functionality and integrity of the retrieval systems; development of software for database maintenance and system deployment.

CINDU: Catalogue of Numerical Neutron Data Available from the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Good, W. K.; Attrae, P. M.; Ekberg, K.; Lemmel, H. D.; Lorenz, A.; Otstavnov, P. [IAEA, Nuclear Data Unit, Vienna (Austria)

1967-08-15

As a consequence of the progress in the field of international data exchange, and in compliance with the recommendations of the International Nuclear Data Committee (INDC) to the Director General of the IAEA, the Nuclear Data Unit has established a neutron data compilation center for the purpose of promoting international acquisition and exchange of basic neutron data. A specific orientation was given to this activity last year with the adoption of Operation Post-Box, according to which other major data centers submit either voluntarily or on request contributions of data to a fund held by the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit, which is in turn freely distributed to the remaining major data centers and to individuals. In the course of the last 12 months, this fund of data, embodied in the Nuclear Data Unit DASTAR file, has increased considerably as a result of the contributions by the data centers of Brookhaven, Obninsk and Saclay, as well as from collections from the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit service area. The CINDU catalog, submitted herewith, is an index of the current data holdings of the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit as of first August 1967. It serves a dual function: firstly, to act as an essential aid in the operation of the Post-Box concept, and secondly to inform data users within the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit service area of the current holdings in Vienna. A method to locate available data at any one of the data centers, including the IAEA Nuclear Data Unit, exists now in CINDA in the form of an indicator at the right hand side of the page. In addition to the external reference function filled by CINDA, the present CINDU catalog serves an internal function as the bibliographic part of DASTAR as well. This internal function required slight modifications of the CINDA format, in order to provide more comprehensive information and retrieval capabilities in the overall operation of the DASTAR system. The present form of the CINDU catalog is working satisfactorily; however

Comparison of the results of several heat transfer computer codes when applied to a hypothetical nuclear waste repository

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Claiborne, H.C.; Wagner, R.S.; Just, R.A.

1979-12-01

A direct comparison of transient thermal calculations was made with the heat transfer codes HEATING5, THAC-SIP-3D, ADINAT, SINDA, TRUMP, and TRANCO for a hypothetical nuclear waste repository. With the exception of TRUMP and SINDA (actually closer to the earlier CINDA3G version), the other codes agreed to within +-5% for the temperature rises as a function of time. The TRUMP results agreed within +-5% up to about 50 years, where the maximum temperature occurs, and then began an oscillary behavior with up to 25% deviations at longer times. This could have resulted from time steps that were too large or from some unknown system problems. The available version of the SINDA code was not compatible with the IBM compiler without using an alternative method for handling a variable thermal conductivity. The results were about 40% low, but a reasonable agreement was obtained by assuming a uniform thermal conductivity; however, a programming error was later discovered in the alternative method. Some work is required on the IBM version to make it compatible with the system and still use the recommended method of handling variable thermal conductivity. TRANCO can only be run as a 2-D model, and TRUMP and CINDA apparently required longer running times and did not agree in the 2-D case; therefore, only HEATING5, THAC-SIP-3D, and ADINAT were used for the 3-D model calculations. The codes agreed within +-5%; at distances of about 1 ft from the waste canister edge, temperature rises were also close to that predicted by the 3-D model

The report summarises the work done in the field of nuclear data at the Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA (Web: http://www-nds.iaea.org/, e-mail: services at iaeand.iaea.org) for the period 1 May 2000 - 30 April 2001. Data compilation activities are related to CINDA data collection. CINDA 2000 was published as a cumulative issue including literature published and data files compiled/updated between 1988 and 2000. After a working version of the EXFOR database updating program CSIMER was obtained and the dictionary maintenance programs DAN2X4 and MAKE B ACK were modified at NDS (to take care of last year's format change of the DANIEL dictionaries), a backlog in processing incoming TRANS files could be worked up and dictionary transmission 9077 was implemented and distributed in spring 2001 (following dictionary transmission 9076 of Summer 2000). New evaluated data libraries, files and data processing codes are advertised for distribution to the NDS customers. Some of these products were obtained through the network of co-operating centres, others comprise the results of the IAEA/NDS CRP projects. They include: IAEA Photonuclear Library; Charged-Particle Cross Section Database for Medical Radioisotope Production; FENDL/A in Pictures Presentation; PREPRO2000: 2000 ENDF/B Pre-processing Codes; Reference Neutron Activation Library (RNAL); POINT2000: A temperature Dependent ENDF/B-VI, Release 7 Cross Section Library. The EXFOR CD-ROM relational database under ACCESS-97 was finalized with a further improvement of the functionality, an acceleration of the data search, gathering statistics, simplification of the installation procedure of the plotting utility, CD-ROM Start up utility. An enhanced search facility on reaction products, including fission products specified only in data table, was developed (April 2001 EXFOR/Access version). The collaboration with other centres in the development of new approaches to the nuclear database management and data dissemination was

The CINDA-3G computer code has been adapted to analyze the thermal responses and operating limitations of two fusion reactor first-wall concepts under normal cyclic operation. A component of an LMFBR computer code has been modified and adapted to analyze the ablative behavior of first-walls after a plasma disruption. The first-wall design concepts considered are a forced-circulation water-cooled stainless steel panel with and without a monolithic graphite liner. The thermal gradients in the metal wall and liner have been determined for several burn-cycle scenarios and the extent of surface ablation that results from a plasma disruption has been determined for stainless steel and graphite first surfaces

In addition to the external reference function filled by CINDA, the present CINDU catalog serves an internal function as the bibliographic part of DASTAR as well. This internal function required slight modifications of the CINDA format, in order to provide more comprehensive information and retrieval capabilities in the overall operation of the DASTAR system. The present form of the CINDU catalog is working satisfactorily; however, suggestions and comments on the system, and in particular corrections to the contents, are welcome.

The neutron capture cross sections of the 109 Ag(n, γ) 110 mAg, 186 W(n, γ) 187 W and 158 Gd(n, γ) 159 Gd have been measured at 55 and 144 keV by the activation method with filtered neutron beams of the Dalat nuclear research reactor. The cross sections were determined relative to the standard capture cross sections of 197 Au using highly purity metallic foils of Ag, W, Gd and Au. The high efficient HPGe detector was used for the gamma rays measurement from the samples, and absolute efficiency calibration was performed by using a set of standard radioisotope sources and a multi-nuclides standard solution. The present results were compared with the previous measurements listed in EXFOR-CINDA, and the evaluated data of ENDF/B-VI. (author)

An international network of co-operating data centres is described who maintain identical data bases which are simultaneously updated by an agreed data exchange procedure. The agreement covers ''data exchange formats'' which are compatible to the centres' internal data storage and retrieval systems which remain different, optimized at each centre to the available computer facilities and to the needs of the data users. Essential condition for the data exchange is an agreement on common procedures for the data exchange is an agreement on common procedures for the data compilation, including critical data analysis and validation. The systems described (''EXFOR'', ''ENDF'', ''CINDA'') are used for ''nuclear reaction data'', but the principles used for data compilation and exchange should be valid also for other data types.

National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) maintains a number of data bases containing bibliographic information and evaluated as well as experimental nuclear properties. An evaluated computer file maintained by the NNDC, called the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), contains nuclear structure information for all known nuclides. The ENSDF is the source for the journal Nuclear Data Sheets which is produced and edited by NNDC. The Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF), on the other hand is designed for storage and retrieval of such evaluated nuclear data as are used in neutronic, photonic, and decay heat calculations in a large variety of applications. The NNDC maintains three bibliographic files: NSR - for nuclear structure and decay data related references, CINDA - a bibliographic file for neutron induced reactions, and CPBIB - for charged particle reactions. Selected retrievals from evaluated data and bibliographic files are possible on-line or on request from NNDC

This report contains the bibliographic index data on photonuclear reactions and on their inverse ones, in the format similar to CINDA for neutron nuclear data. As photonuclear reactions the electron-induced reaction data are also included. As the inverse reactions considered are those induced by neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helion and alpha particles. The index covers major journals on nuclear data published in 1995 to 1992, for all nuclides through hydrogen (H) to einsteinium (Es). The bibliographic index contains information on target nucleus, incident beam, type of reaction and quantity, energy range of incident beam, laboratory, type of work, reference citations, first author's name, and short comment. The index also contains the indication for information on cross-section data. All the index data are listed in the order of target element, target, mass and incident particle, and in the chronological order of reference data. Also a brief description is given on the data format, the abbreviations used and the journals surveyed. (author)

6th International Symposium on Thermal Expansion

CERN Document Server

1978-01-01

This 6th International Symposium on Thermal Expansion, the first outside the USA, was held on August 29-31, 1977 at the Gull Harbour Resort on Hecla Island, Manitoba, Canada. Symposium Chairman was Ian D. Peggs, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, and our continuing sponsor was CINDAS/Purdue University. We made considerable efforts to broaden the base this year to include more users of expansion data but with little success. We were successful, however, in establishing a session on liquids, an area which is receiving more attention as a logical extension to the high-speed thermophysical property measurements on materials at temperatures close to their melting points. The Symposium had good international representation but the overall attendance was, disappointingly, relatively low. Neverthe­ less, this enhanced the informal atmosphere throughout the meeting with a resultant frank exchange of information and ideas which all attendees appreciated. A totally new item this year was the presentation of a bursary to ...

2017-09-01

JANIS (JAva-based Nuclear Data Information System) software is developed by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank to facilitate the visualization and manipulation of nuclear data, giving access to evaluated nuclear data libraries, such as ENDF, JEFF, JENDL, TENDL etc., and also to experimental nuclear data (EXFOR) and bibliographical references (CINDA). It is available as a standalone Java program, downloadable and distributed on DVD and also a web application available on the NEA website. One of the main new features in JANIS is the scripting capability via command line, which notably automatizes plots generation and permits automatically extracting data from the JANIS database. Recent NEA software developments rely on these JANIS features to access nuclear data, for example the Nuclear Data Sensitivity Tool (NDaST) makes use of covariance data in BOXER and COVERX formats, which are retrieved from the JANIS database. New features added in this version of the JANIS software are described along this paper with some examples.

A total of 70 EXFOR entries for neutron induced experiments, were compiled and transmitted to the other data centres. Forty six (46) of these entries concerned new experiments. More than 600 new entries were compiled into the CINDA database in the same period. The updated CD-ROM version of the CINDA database has once again been distributed. In 2000 the Data Bank compiled ∼100 new data sets from charged particle induced experiments and these are currently undergoing testing before being entered into the EXFOR database. Due to additions to the database structure, a complete re-writing of the loading/retrieval programs (conversion from FORTRAN coding to PERL scripts) and hardware upgrades the loading has been delayed somewhat. Two versions of the JEFF-3.T general-purpose starter file were produced in 2000, following improvements to the evaluations through the correction of format and physics errors. New evaluations are incorporated as they become available (e.g. EFF files) or when changes to the initial recommendations (e.g. for Fission Products and Minor Actinides) are decided based on additional evidence. The validation of the file is ongoing in the form of calculations of a subset of the JEF-2.2 benchmarks. Special emphasis is being put on PWR uranium lattices, since earlier results showed a slight systematic underestimation of the reactivity of these lattices. For the production of the Radioactive Decay Data starter file, comparisons were made between the two libraries recently produced in the UK, UKPADD-6.1 and UKHEDD-2.2, and further evaluations based on NUBASE and ENSDF data. The first version of the JEFF-3.T Decay Data file, containing ∼3700 nuclides, was produced in late 2000 and extensive testing was applied including the development of specific methods for energy balance checks. These have been implemented into the FIZCON code, renamed EFIZCON. The NEA Data Bank has taken an initiative on behalf of the WPEC sub-group concerned with the High Priority

IAEA nuclear databases for applications

Schwerer, Otto

2003-01-01

The Nuclear Data Section (NDS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides nuclear data services to scientists on a worldwide scale with particular emphasis on developing countries. More than 100 data libraries are made available cost-free by Internet, CD-ROM and other media. These databases are used for practically all areas of nuclear applications as well as basic research. An overview is given of the most important nuclear reaction and nuclear structure databases, such as EXFOR, CINDA, ENDF, NSR, ENSDF, NUDAT, and of selected special purpose libraries such as FENDL, RIPL, RNAL, the IAEA Photonuclear Data Library, and the IAEA charged-particle cross section database for medical radioisotope production. The NDS also coordinates two international nuclear data centre networks and is involved in data development activities (to create new or improve existing data libraries when the available data are inadequate) and in technology transfer to developing countries, e.g. through the installation and support of the mirror web site of the IAEA Nuclear Data Services at IPEN (operational since March 2000) and by organizing nuclear-data related workshops. By encouraging their participation in IAEA Co-ordinated Research Projects and also by compiling their experimental results in databases such as EXFOR, the NDS helps to make developing countries' contributions to nuclear science visible and conveniently available.

1969-05-15

This report of the NDU covers the interval June 1968 to May 1969. For clarity of the records, it should be stated that this period was also the first year of the existence of the INDC; however, as such, it was the first in name only since essentially the committee had existed for several years, first as the ad hoc INDSWG and then as the Interim INDC. Thus there have been also previous reports by the NDU whose activities have been reported under the sub-titles of Meetings, Standards, Data Compilation and Exchange, and some additional item to cover items such as document exchange since these are continuing in nature. Although there are reasons for a change in such a presentation, the present report essentially adheres to the previous form to preserve continuity. A minor change has been made in the ambiguous case where the Agency convenes a Meeting on, say, Standards in which case the present approach is to include the corresponding report under Meetings rather than Standards. It is anticipated that the NDU may be encouraged by the INDC to continue to be involved in a small way in evaluation; in addition, it was noted that the Standards Panel reviewed cross sections which are candidates along with those of the fissile nuclides at 2200 m/sec for sustained evaluation monitoring by the NDU. It seemed appropriate to include together standard cross sections and standard cross section evaluations, thereby distinctly locating the recent 2200 m/sec. re-evaluation within this report. The activities of the NDU for June 1968 to May 1969 are grouped then under the principal headings of Meetings, INDC Secretariat Activities, Data Centre Activities, and Evaluation and Standards.

IAEA/NDS requirements related to database software

Full text: The Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA disseminates data to the NDS users through Internet or on CD-ROMs and diskettes. OSU Web-server on DEC Alpha with Open VMS and Oracle/DEC DBMS provides via CGI scripts and FORTRAN retrieval programs access to the main nuclear databases supported by the networks of Nuclear Reactions Data Centres and Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Centres (CINDA, EXFOR, ENDF, NSR, ENSDF). For Web-access to data from other libraries and files, hyper-links to the files stored in ASCII text or other formats are used. Databases on CD-ROM are usually provided with some retrieval system. They are distributed in the run-time mode and comply with all license requirements for software used in their development. Although major development work is done now at the PC with MS-Windows and Linux, NDS may not at present, due to some institutional conditions, use these platforms for organization of the Web access to the data. Starting the end of 1999, the NDS, in co-operation with other data centers, began to work out the strategy of migration of main network nuclear data bases onto platforms other than DEC Alpha/Open VMS/DBMS. Because the different co-operating centers have their own preferences for hardware and software, the requirement to provide maximum platform independence for nuclear databases is the most important and desirable feature. This requirement determined some standards for the nuclear database software development. Taking into account the present state and future development, these standards can be formulated as follows: 1. All numerical data (experimental, evaluated, recommended values and their uncertainties) prepared for inclusion in the IAEA/NDS nuclear database should be submitted in the form of the ASCII text files and will be kept at NDS as a master file. 2. Databases with complex structure should be submitted in the form of the files with standard SQL statements describing all its components. All extensions of standard SQL

This meeting was convened with the aim to review the activities of the Nuclear Data Section (NDS) covering the period 2000-2003, and to advise the IAEA/ NDS regarding the programme/budget for the two-year period of 2004-2005. The deliberations in plenary and working group sessions led to a lengthy series of conclusions and recommendations that are given in the full report. Conclusions of particular note are as follows: Nuclear data compilation activities (CINDA and EXFOR) are unique and are judged to be proceeding well. The 13-centre data exchange network is well co-ordinated and led by the NDS. However, the organisation of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network needs to be simplified through the appointment of an overall co-ordinator (overseer) from within NDS. Additional efforts are also recommended to compile charged particle data; The geographical distribution of data services via on-line retrieval is satisfying. The mirror site established in Brazil is functioning reasonably well, and the establishment of a smaller regional facility in India is recommended; The Committee expressed apprehension that, with the retirement/loss of several experienced staff members, some of the activities of the NDS may be seriously hampered. The INDC strongly recommends that all emerging NDS vacancies are occupied as soon as possible with suitable staff possessing the appropriate expertise; The Committee recognised that data dissemination and international co-ordination represent a very important component of the NDS activities. It was seriously concerned about the reduction in the programme portion of the budget and recommended restoring it to its previous level; The Committee judged the four CRP proposals now in the process of start-up, viz. neutron standards, model parameters, Th-U fuel cycle and therapeutic radionuclides, as very important, and recommended their urgent initiation; Based on extensive discussions, following two new CRPs were highly recommended: updated decay

After surveying current world needs for bibliographic and compilation activities in the field of neutron data, the report of this Panel of 31 individual technical experts, considers the immediate and future role of the world's neutron data centres in this task. In Chapter V the Panel's findings are summarized in the form of recommendations directed to the centres and their associated national and international advisory committees together with all users of the centres. The Panel's recommendations can be summarised as follows: a) The need for bibliographic indexing and numerical compilation of neutron data on an international basis has been clearly demonstrated and should continue for the foreseeable future; b) The operation of CINDA has been extremely satisfactory; c) Neutron data should be compiled at all energies by all centres subject to any mutually agreed exceptions and priorities; d) A fine-meshed classification scheme for neutron reactions should be formulated and put into use before the end of 1969 in accordance with the timetable; e) A scheme for associating a detailed statement of the main characteristics of each experiment with compilations of the resulting data should be formulated and put into preliminary operation before the end of 1969; f) The immediate primary tasks of the principal data centres are to complete the compilation of existing numerical data, whilst keeping abreast of new data, and to agree and implement an improved compilation, storage and retrieval system; g) Input of experimental data can be facilitated by specific measures; h) Centres should publish review publications which they believe will serve the user community; i) The centres should provide data to users in a variety of media: printed listings, graphs, paper tape, punched cards and magnetic tape - but should encourage standardization within each medium so as to free effort to meet special requirements of users having limited computer facilities; j) Centres should hold and
