Python Library For Reading Endf Files

RESOURCE

Abstract

Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDFs) are the most common way to store nuclear data. However, they are a hard-to-read format that few people or programs can read. OpenMC, an open source project, developed a way to read Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) into a useful form for python. This library will remove all unnecessary code from OpenMC to focus solely on reading nuclear data. In addition, it will handle parsing Grouped cross-section data from an ENDF file, which OpenMC does not currently handle.
