N2 - SAMMY1 is a production code that still contains a lot of old-style FORTRAN (F77) code. While the code is widely used and performs well, the legacy code base makes it difficult to maintain and to add new features. However, because it is a production code, it cannot lose any functionality while being modernized. In addition, new features need to be added to support the changing needs of the evaluators to analyze data obtained with new equipment and at higher resolution. In addition, as the data are analyzed with higher fidelity and new models within SAMMY, the processing codes and formats must keep pace. This will ensure that any new SAMMY evaluation can be processed by AMPX and can be tested and used in transport codes like SCALE2 for maximum benefit of the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) mission.
