A new software package, the Fission Induced Electromagnetic Response (FIER) code, has been developed to analytically predict delayed gamma-ray spectra following fission. FIER uses evaluated nuclear data and solutions to the Bateman equations to calculate the time-dependent populations of fission products and their decay daughters resulting from irradiation of a fissionable isotope. These populations are then used in the calculation of gamma-ray emission rates to obtain the corresponding delayed gamma-ray spectra.
