The information below represents the complete specification of the classes in the njoy module. For examples of usage, please refer to the User’s Guide entry for NJOY Automation.

Njoy99 Class

class pyne.njoy.Njoy99

acer()

Generate ACE-format cross section libraries using the MODER, RECONR, BROADR, PURR (if dilutions present), THERMR, and ACER modules.

burnup()

Process burnup data for the complete library. This requires a file whose name starts with chain, e.g. chaincandu, that contains information about the energy from all isotopes generated using single DRAGR runs. The ‘chain’ file is generated automatically.

draglib(fp=0)

Generate a DRAGLIB file using the MODER and DRAGR modules and add/update the new isotopic data in the DRAGLIB file.

Parameters :

fp : int

If fp is 1, the scattering information are stored as diagonal matrices in the DRAGLIB.

gamma()

Generate photo-atomic (gamma) group ENDF file using the MODER, RECONR, and GAMINR modules.

gendf(eaf=0)

Generate a multigroup GENDF file using the MODER and GROUPR modules. This requires that the pendf() method has already been called.

Parameters :

eaf : int

If eaf is 1, simplified processing is performed to be compatible with the EAF nuclear library.

makeFp(eaf=0)

Creates a PENDF, GENDF, and DRAGLIB file for a single fission product.

Parameters :

eaf : int

If eaf is 1, simplified processing is performed to be compatible with the EAF nuclear library.

matxs()

Generate an ASCII MATXS file using the MODER and MATXSR modules.

pendf(eaf=0)

Generate a pointwise PENDF file from the ENDF raw data using the MODER, RECONR, BROADR, PURR (if dilutions present), and THERMR modules. This is the starting point for all other datatype generations including DRAGLIB, ACE, WIMSD, etc.

Parameters :

eaf : int

If eaf is 1, simplified processing is performed to be compatible with the EAF nuclear library.
