New versions of VENTURE/PC, a multigroup, multidimensional diffusion-depletion code system

VENTURE/PC is a microcomputer version of the BOLD VENTURE code system developed over a period of years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). It is a very complete and flexible multigroup, multidimensional, diffusion-depletion code system, which was developed for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory personal computer (PC) based reactor physics and radiation shielding analysis package. The major characteristics of the code system were reported previously. Since that time, new versions of the code system have been developed. These new versions were designed to speed the convergence process, simplify the input stream, and extend the code to the state-of-the-art 32-bit microcomputers. The 16-bit version of the code is distributed by the Radiation Shielding Information Center (RSIC) at ORNL. The code has received widespread usage
