A computer code, POD, was developed for neutron-induced nuclear data evaluations. This program is based on four theoretical models, (1) the optical model to calculate shape-elastic scattering and reaction cross sections, (2) the distorted wave Born approximation to calculate neutron inelastic scattering cross sections, (3)the preequilibrium model, and (4) the multi-step statistical model. With this program, cross sections can be calculated for reactions , , , , , , He), , , , , and in the neutron energy range above the resonance region to 20 MeV. The computational methods and input parameters are explained in this report, with sample inputs and outputs.
