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.
