Please note that:

  1. Research licences are only for academic or public sector research establishments
  2. Research licences at a nominal fee are available for UK universities and close collaborators
  3. Research licenses specifically forbid use in contract work

The OECD-NEA Data Bank offers a licencing and distribution service through the various members states. The version 4.0 is available as NEA-1890:

Please note that these distributions come with specific licence agreements which include many limitations, for example forbidding use in commercial applications. Those interested in using FISPACT-II for such applications should contact the UKAEA directly.

Training Courses, Meetings and User Help

The FISPACT-II user manual provides a detailed description of the code, keywords, outputs and methods. This is complemented by the online FISPACT-II Wiki and FISPACT-II Forum, which provide more code details and discussions with feedback from the code developers.

From the 3-00-00 version onward, the code is distributed with a getting started section which covers several simulations with step-by-step walkthrough.

The lecture materials from the most recent OECD-NEA Data Bank workshop on FISPACT-II are available in the documentation section.
