SUMMARY
The discussion centers on integrating the Nemtab cross section library into the PARCS neutronics code. Users can set cross section data in PARCS using either the XSEC card or the PMAXS option in the DEPL card. The participant seeks clarification on whether it is possible to directly input the Nemtab library into PARCS or if conversion to PMAX files is necessary. The consensus indicates that conversion to PMAX files is required for compatibility with PARCS.
