About the Download Page

Hey, we are all in this together! As a Professor in Nuclear Engineering, I am in a position to pursue the promotion of inter-university/industry cooperation on things nuclear. One of the obvious things that we can do is share open domain knowledge such as course material, computer codes, etc.

I wonder how many times point kinetics or some other little tidbit has been coded. Why can't we do it once, submit it to scrutiny and be done with it? Once we agree that it is a sound bit of code we can give it the CNS stamp of approval and make it part of an official verified library, sort of like IMSL, EISPACK and others. We all have our favourite bits that we collected over the years. We all win if we share them. What goes around, comes around, as they say.

As I am very interested in collecting snippets of engineering code and lecture / study material that is useful to students, profs, and others, I would be willing to act as a clearing house but welcome all the help I can get. If anyone has any of the following, please don't hesitate to let me know. I will attempt to put it on the web for all to relish:

• A favourite bit of code that they have written, eg, subroutines for correlations
• Shareware or freeware that they find useful
• Links to other sites that have such info
• Reactor simulation packages
• Reviews of commercial packages
• Lecture / study material
• Worked examples

If you send me something, the material should be a form that I could easily put on the web. That way, I can get your gem on the web faster. Ideally, you should:

• Zip up your code complete with a readme.txt file, sample input data, etc. so the user has everything in one place.
• Email me the zip file along with a description that I can put on the download page.
