Nuclear Reference Data Portal

Look up cross-section libraries by nuclide, browse the periodic table, and copy ready-to-use material cards for MCNP, Serpent, and OpenMC — ZAIDs and suffix guidance also apply to SCONE ACE inputs.

Library suffixes — what each is for

MCNP and Serpent use suffixes like .80c, .71c, .20t; SCONE ACE libraries embed the same nuclide naming — your nuclearData.materials ZAID indices must match tables in the ACE file you load. Use .XXc for continuous-energy neutron data (thermal through fast). Use .XXt for thermal S(α,β) when modeling bound scatterers (water, graphite, etc.). Use .XXp for photon transport.

ReactorMC Community Library

A shared database where nuclear engineers upload, tag, and discuss reactor input files — benchmarks, teaching models, and production decks for every Monte Carlo code.

Share your models

Upload MCNP, OpenMC, Serpent, or SCONE input files with descriptions, tags, and reactor metadata.

Review and discuss

Comment on models, suggest improvements, and rate community contributions — more eyes, fewer errors.

Search and reuse

Find the reactor you need — PWR pin cells, BWR assemblies, full-core BEAVRS — and start editing instead of building from scratch.
