MIND mind {1}


This keyword allows the input of a parameter indicating the minimum number of atoms which are regarded as significant for the output of the inventory. It is usually not important to consider a few atoms of a nuclide. The default value is 1, but this means that inventory tables with an extremely large number of unimportant nuclides will be output, and it is recommended that a value such as 1.0E+05 be used for the mind parameter. It is possible to use a parameter value less than 1 if information on a wide range of nuclides is required.

Note that the value of mind corresponds to the amount of material specified; it does not refer to number of atoms for a unit mass. A request for a small mind will produce meaningful results only if the atol parameter of the TOLERANCE keyword is also set to a suitable small value, less than the value of mind.

Example usage, where nuclides with inventory less than 1.0E+05 will be omitted from the inventory output:
