Graphical Post-Processor Created for the ORIGEN2 Code
- Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA (United States)
ORIGEN2 is an isotope generation and depletion code developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It is commonly used to determine the isotopic activity, concentration, and heating as a function of irradiation and decay time. Additionally, ORIGEN2 calculates the gamma-ray and neutron source as a function of time. Because the output generated by ORIGEN2 is often very large, a post-processor was created for ORIGEN2 to graphically display the isotopic concentration (g), activity (C), and decay heat (W) as a function of time. By making the ORIGEN2 output available in a graphical form, the scientists can better understand their calculations and browse through the output to graph important results.
