Understanding NJOY





The NJOY Nuclear Data Processing System is used to convert evaluated nuclear data in ENDF format into forms useful for applications. As a bridge between physics and engineering, it is best used by people with some knowledge of things like nuclear reaction theory, resonance theory, or scattering theory on one side, and some knowledge of things like particle transport codes, reactor core calculations, or radiation medicine on the other. In this short course, we will introduce you to the NJOY system, give you a quick outline of the physics of nuclear data, and show you how some of the main applications in nuclear technology link to NJOY results.

Understanding NJOY uses online web pages to introduce you to the subject of nuclear data processing. Normally, you can just follow the NEXT links. To browse through the pages in other orders, use the INDEX links.

If you have an operating version of NJOY 97 and the appropriate data files, you can work through a set of EXERCISES designed to illustrate some of the important features of the code. To do the exercises in order, just follow the NEXT links. To browse through the pages in other orders, use the INDEX links.
