Installation of VENUS-2 code for the analysis of transition phase of LMR HCDA

VENUS-2 is a two-dimensional coupled neutronics-hydrodynamics program that calculate the dynamic behavior of an LMFBR during a prompt-critical disassembly excursion. The code, was developed by the Argonne National Laboratory(ANL) in 1972, was originally written in FORTRAN-4 computer language to run on the CDC7600 or IBM3033 computer systems. A number of modifications were done on the code to make it work in the DIGITAL Fortran system of the MS-Windows. In particular, an effort has been made to revise I/O status system and graphical plotting routines using Excel and Origin 6.0. Test runs with the sample problem show that the modified VENUS-2 code provides the results in general agreement to sample outputs described in the manual
