The Monte Carlo kinetic code EIRENE (Sect.2) is used for simulating the behavior of neutral species in the edge of tokamak plasma and coupled with fluid plasma codes for a self-consistent description to be compared with measured experimental conditions. The data and visualization toolbox HYDKIN (Sect.3) has been developed as a pre-processing tool for validation of those atomic and molecular (A &M) data used in EIRENE simulations, such as cross sections and reaction rates for plasma-neutral and neutral-neutral collisions. The restructuring that is being performed to increase HYDKIN readability and usability is here presented (Sect.4).
