U N C L A S S I F I E D Abstract The Los Alamos suite of atomic physics codes for generating atomic structure data, and for generating radiative and collisional data, as well as autoionization rates, using the semi- relativistic and fully relativistic distorted-wave methods, is described. The data is used in the new opacity code, ATOMIC, for opacity calculation and non-LTE kinetic modeling. Some examples of modeling results will be given.

U N C L A S S I F I E D New Opacity Code ATOMIC Replacement for the legacy LEDCOP opacity code. Provide automation, modularity, flexibility, documentation, easy to improve and SQE. Improve the atomic physics (j-split levels, no data fitting, transitions from higher l). Improve the EOS calculation(extend to higher density). Enhance LTE and non-LTE capabilities. Enhance Low-Z and High-Z capabilities.
