ILLICO: a vectorized multigroup multidimensional nodal neutron diffusion code

;
A new three-dimensional neutron diffusion nodal code, ILLICO, has been developed and tested. The ILLICO theory is a modified extension of two-dimensional HNGFM. The new code has been implemented on the CRAY X-MP/48 at the Univ. of Illinois. Vectorization is shown to result in speed up by a factor of 3. The three-dimensional International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) light water reactor (LWR) benchmark problem is solved in less than three quarters of a second.
