description: "FUDGEFudge provides (Python based) tools to:\n• Store and modify nuclear\
  \ data.\n• Convert ENDF-6 formatted nuclear data [1] into Generalized Nuclear\n\
  Data (GND) structure [2].\n• Convert LLNL’s ENDL formatted nuclear data [3] into\
  \ GND.\n• Plot data from GND files.\n• Check for physics problems in GND files.\n\
  • Process nuclear data for use by Monte Carlo and/or deterministic\ncodes. Fudge\
  \ contains hooks for the future addition of nuclear data\nprocessing routines.\n\
  The Fudge release includes samples of published ENDF-6 formatted data that\ncan\
  \ be converted to the new GND format.\nThis software is the next release in a series\
  \ of releases that began with GND\nversion 0.1 [2]."
