The National Transport Code Collaboration (NTCC) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supported activity designed to facilitate research towards development of fusion energy as a potential energy source for the future. A part of this activity is to provide a mechanism for sharing of commonly used software tools in the modeling of magnetically confined fusion plasmas - the NTCC Modules Library website https://w3.pppl.gov/NTCC.
While this site allows public download of source code and build procedures for said software, recipients are required to agree to terms of use as outlined below. These terms of use are meant to facilitate ongoing collaboration, continued distribution of fixes and improvements to the software by authors, communication on software performance by users, and appropriate acknowledgement of the authors' contributions.
The NTCC Modules Library codes represent the work of multiple authors from several institutions. Each code is accompanied with instructions for build and use, as well as a summary of capability, often accompanied with references to published literature that gives more detailed descriptions. The documentation contains contact information for the software authors and/or PPPL support personnel. The NTCC codes do not contain any nuclear material information or information that can be used for the design or development of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons or of any weapons of mass destruction. The code does not contain any proprietary or commercially owned information.

1. The University of Strathclyde uses all reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the data provided and any information given, but the University makes no warranty, expressed or implied as to its accuracy, integrity, fitness for purpose and shall not be responsible for the use to which the data is put by the User and/or any consequences arising out of any inaccuracies or omissions.
2. Any downloaded OPEN-ADAS file is made available here for the personal use of the User only.
