A Nuclear Cross Section Data Handbook

the future generation of this document as automatic as the prevailing computer
systems would allow. Included among these tasks (all of which fall under the FCL
umbrella) is a routine called GNRATE whkh automatically generates and stores
the pie-charts and cross-section curves for any evaluation on the MCNP library from
an input file; the MAKE routine, which automatically fetches the data produced by
the GNRATE routine for an evaluation, enumerates the number of plots, formats
the heading data or text, the pie-charts, and the cross-section curves, and stores
all of this data in the appropriate directories where it is retrieved by the CSHELL
program.
The point to emphasize here is that although the generation of this document
took a great deal of time, it is a task that will only have to be performed once;
that is to say that the task of producing this or similar volumes has been almost
completely automated; consequently, the update of a single nuclide, several nuclides,
or the entire volume can be readily accomplished.
