Controller function for adding cross section data from EAF format file.

pyne.dbgen.eaf.make_eaf_table(nuc_data, build_path=”)

Function for adding EAF group and table to HDF5 storage.

Parameters:

nuc_data : str

Path to nuclide data file.

build_path : str

Directory where EAF data is located.

pyne.dbgen.eaf.parse_eaf_xs(build_file)
