A nuclear model pertinent to the generation of certain classes of nuclear data is described. The analysis is structured so as to minimize difficulties in its numerical implementation. The model involves the simultaneous treatment of particle excitations in a deformed potential well, together with rotational and vibrational collective excitations. Details of certain aspects of the theory are presented with comparisons of calculated and measured level structures for several nuclei of interest in shielding technology.
