Getting Started

What is endf?

endf is a Python package for reading and interpreting ENDF-6 and ACE format nuclear data files. Compared to other packages that provide functionality for working with ENDF and ACE files, this package has numerous advantages:

• Easily installable through pip

• Thoughtful API design targeting Python first

• Offers both a low-level interface for working with the raw data in an ENDF file as well as a more intuitive high-level interface

• Fast file-loading performance thanks to optimized read routines

• Fully documented, tested, and type-hinted

Installation

The endf package can be installed by running:

python -m pip install endf
