N2 - A collaboration of four laboratories (Argonne, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and the Paul Scherrer Institute) has written a set of scripting tools to serve as an easy user interface to the CINDER '90 transmutation code, which is developed by Los Alamos. The script enables simpler and thus more accurate operation of the CINDER '90 code system than was possible using the suite of pre-processor codes previously employed. As part of this development, we generated a set of example problems that reflect common radioactivation problems in and around accelerator facilities. The test problems are used both to illustrate the use of CINDER '90 and the scripting tools in addressing accelerator activation problems, and to test features of the scripting tools for accuracy and usefulness. We describe the test problems and share our experience in validation and verification activities using several different FORTRAN language compilers to compile the individual codes that are part of the CINDER '90 package.
