3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION -
The Nuclide Explorer (NKE) program is a tool for retrieving interactively detailed data on radionuclides properties.
The data that can be retrieved are: 
a) elements information (average mass, density, neutron cross sections); 
b) nuclear ground/metastable states properties (half-life and decay channels percentage);
c) decay alpha, beta, gamma, electron, positron radiation information (spectra and lines);
d) fission products yields (for various fissionable target nuclides); 
e) thermal neutron cross sections and resonance integrals (capture and fission);
f) fission spectrum average threshold neutron reactions cross sections for (n,p), (n,alpha), (n,2n), (n,n') and (n,gamma) reactions.
Fast neutron fission has been added.
It contains data on more than 3000 nuclides (approximately 3700 ground and metastable states). The data were mined from various public data bases.


4. METHODS - Users interact with the main program screen which is Ségre nuclide chart to obtain detailed nuclide/element information. It contains a built-in decay calculator and filter utility. For instance users can filter data using various criteria (e.g. half-life, decay modes and particles energies).


5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM -


6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - The program runs interactively.


7. UNUSUAL FEATURES -


8. RELATED OR AUXILIARY PROGRAMS - CHAINSOLVER (IAEA1404) and CHAINFINDER (IAEA1405).


9. STATUS
IAEA1384/01: 16-SEP-2003 Obsolete
IAEA1384/02: 16-SEP-2003 Tested at NEADB
