MF6 LAW=2 represents discrete two body scattering in which only angular distribution data is given (knowing that the outgoing energy of the secondary particle can be determined through kinematics when the angle is known). When calculating heating numbers based on LAW=2, ACER assumes that the yield of the secondary particle is 1, which is correct in all cases except when MT5 is used as a lumped reaction. Heating numbers in ACER for photonuclear files using LAW=2 in an MT5 entry are now correctly multiplied by the yield.
A warning message is printed out whenever this situation is detected.
Test 78 was added as part of this correction.
