Output interpretation
All FISPACT-II calculations possess at least two output files: an output file [fileroot].out and a runlog file [fileroot].log. The output contains a sequence of text outputs which are summarised in the following sections.
Contents
Header and run information
The output file always begins with a header identifying the release version of the code:
============================================================================== | | | F I S P A C T - I I | | ------------------- | | | | Transmutation-Activation Inventory Code | | United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority | | | | Release 3.00 September 2015 | | Copyright (c) 2009-15, UK Atomic Energy Authority | | | ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source CVS Tag: $Name: Release-3-00-00 $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after which a run identification box is printed with a summary of the nuclear data, user input and simulation data. Note that only the initial nuclear data are identified here, although simulations with multiple nuclear data and/or spectra will have these summarised at the end of the output.
Printed after the header information is the box containing unique identifying information for the run, for example with a simulation of the Fusion Neutron Source (FNS) 5 minute irradiation of Inconel-600 at position #3 (part of the FISPACT-II fusion decay heat validation:

ATOMS output data
Each instance of the ATOMS keyword in the input file cause the output of a set of data in the output file:
- Table keys (first ATOMS only)
- The time line
- Iron information (if IRON is used)
- The inventory, including:
- The heading line
- A line for each nuclide above the MIND threshold
- Nuclide table totals
- Inventory summary
- Inventory by element (if NOCOMP is not used)
- Gamma spectra
- Gamma-dose totals
- Dominant nuclide lists (if NOSORT is not used)
- Bremsstrahlung corrections (if BREMSSTRAHLUNG is used)
