Rationale

The Naval Nuclear Lab has developed an open-source code, pySDAR, implementing the algorithm described in the standard practice E3076. This code became publicly available to users in January 2024. The NNL team has also presented pySDAR during E08.03.05 task group meetings, E08 workshop, E08 symposium and ASTM STP publications. Having an open-source code available to users would greatly increase the use of this standard and reduce the analysis uncertainty due to users independently implementing the code. The intent of this work item is to reference pySDAR within E3076, provide users with the website to access the software and provide users awareness of additional validation data sets (also available on this website).
