3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED

The ANISN system treats neutron and gamma transport in one-dimensional plane, spherical and cylinder geometry. The multigroup cross sections prepared by the programs LIANE and SUPERTOG are processed by the program RETTOG, which produces a binary library with Legendre expansions. The binary library can be updated and edited with the program LGR/B. The photon multigroup cross sections are created with the program GAMLEG/A. If  the bulk of the data is too large, the program TAPEMA produces a special group-by-group library. The volume sources are calculated from a reduced set of input data and punched in a format suitable for input to ANISN, using the program PRESOU. The program ANISN calculates fluxes by groups, space intervals, angle and any number of reaction rates. The energy and space dependent fluxes are stored  on tape and can be reprocessed, edited and plotted with the program  ANISEX, which also permits to calculate supplementary reaction rates. The program ANISN can condense cross sections into a reduced  number of groups. The ANISN system is used as a reference system for the evaluation of approximation methods (space-diffusion or point- kernel) or forthe preparation of multigroup libraries for 2- dimensional transport codes (DOT). In particular it is used for shielding problems with high attenuation in water reactors and fast  reactors.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Method of discrete ordinates. The program has been designed to treat deep penetration with detailed calculation of spectrum as function of angle. Tests for pointwise convergence have also been introduced.
