Abstract:
Nuclear transmutation is a process in which conversion of one isotope into another isotope takes place as product of nuclear reactions. PyNE is nuclear engineering toolkit for python. In this paper simulation of transmutation is shown using PyNE in python. Initially PyNE was installed in python to access all the library files. PyNE has all the library file within itself, which has been imported and then simulation has been done. In this paper transmutation of Fe-56 is given. All the stages of transmutation are simulated and at the end total time required for transmutation is also given. Transmutation of any material can be performed using this toolkit under defined circumstances.
