Data Libraries

The SCALE code system includes several problem-independent multigroup cross-section libraries. The generally recommended libraries are the ENDF/B-V 238- and the 44-group neutron libraries and the 27neutron-18gamma group library based on ENDF/B-IV. Other data libraries included in SCALE are the ORIGEN-S nuclear data libraries (decay data, branching ratios, etc.), the ORIGEN-S card-image cross-section libraries, a thermal properties data base, and a library of standard composition materials.
