Develop and enhance capabilities for depletion, decay, activation, and emission calculations through the Oak Ridge Isotope GENeration (ORIGEN) code.

Advancement on three fronts:

•nuclear data (e.g. decay, fission yields, uncertainty data), •Application Programming Interface (API) to allow external linkages to ORIGEN, and •capability development such as solvers, user interfaces, and new/improved integration in SCALE and other code systems   Increased usability and applicability of a cutting-edge and widely-used ORNL code to establish ORNL expertise.
