Development of an automatic nuclear data validation system VACANCE

Tada, Kenichi   ; Suyama, Kenya

JAEA provides the evaluated nuclear data library JENDL. Usually, the integral experiments are used for the validation. Since this validation process takes long time and much effort, the automated system has been desired. To realize the automated system, nuclear data processing, analysis of the integral experiments and editing calculation results are required. With regard to the nuclear data processing, JAEA has started to develop the new nuclear data processing system FRENDY. Using FRENDY, the nuclear data can be automatically processed. Taking advantage of FRENDY, we developed the automatic nuclear data validation system VACANCE. VACANCE has many functions, e.g., searching and modifying the input file, available for the parallel computation and restart calculation, editing the calculation results. Combination of FRENDY and VACANCE enables us to carry out the efficient nuclear data validation cycle. In this presentation, the outline and functions of VACANCE are demonstrated.
