News from the NEA data bank

The OECD/NEA Data Bank collects, tests and distributes computer programs and numerical data in the field of nuclear energy applications. These codes cover: cross section and resonance integral calculations, spectrum calculations, generation of group constants and cell problems, static design studies, depletion, fuel management, cost analysis, power plant economics, space time kinetics, coupled neutronics hydrodynamics thermodynamics and excursion simulation, radiological safety, hazard and accident analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow, deformation and stress distributions, structural analysis and engineering design studies, gamma heating and shield design, data preparation processing and management, general mathematical and computing system routines, materials, environmental and earth sciences, chemistry, magnetic fusion research. Copies of the programs can be obtained from the NEA Data Bank. (A.B.)
