From page 26... ... The third heading describes inconsistencies between document and code whose effect cannot be determined by the committee. Finally, the fourth heading lists many transcription errors discovered by the committee; most of them probably resulted in trivial effects on the calculations, but a few could have a large effect (for example, if such an error coincides with a critical calibration measurement) Read the entire page →
From page 27... ... .rel" files in the \rrates subdirectories for individual nuclides. For example, examination of the "lOOKWmed.rel" files indicates that the reactor supposedly represented by files of these names started operation at day 335 in 1944. Read the entire page →
From page 28... ... The value assigned to eps (10-6) was supposed to approximate the maximum possible relative error in the Simpson rule integration, but the error in the code means that the maximum relative error is of order the square root of eps (10-3) Read the entire page →
From page 29... ... At the beginning of a month, the release rate is taken to be the average value for that month; then, throughout the month, the release rate is linearly changed until at the end of the month it is equal to the average release rate in the following month. The same linear interpolation has been performed for river flow rates (in subroutine "getflow") Read the entire page →
From page 30... ... The data entered in the workbook "reactor operations.xls" contain numerous errors. The committee noted the following errors in the sheet "Reactor Data", but the technique used by the committee to discover these errors does not guarantee the ansence of other errors.
