VIBE is a new graphical user interface to identify and interpret sensitivity data from SCALE/TSUNAMI that was distributed with SCALE 6.0. VIBE enables users to group-collapse sensitivity data and then sort and filter the collapsed data to identify important processes in applications or experiments, providing an improved means of preselecting experiments for use in criticality code validation. VIBE also enables users to query DICE, the database of ICSBEP, to gain more information about experiments present in the handbook. Data from VIBE can be exported for criticality code validation studies with other TSUNAMI sensitivity and uncertainty analysis tools. VIBE also supports other sensitivity data distributed by ICSBEP and will be integrated with DICE for the 2009 release of the IHECSBE.
