We are developing an atomic code, YAC, for elements from low to high Z that explicitly includes the detailed term structure. Detailed electron configurations are produced from a list of super-configurations. These detailed configurations are used as effective energy levels for population kinetics. Further, a list of all possible atomic processes such as photo-excitation (ionization), electron collision excitation (ionization) and autoionization is generated further from these configurations and, except for the radiative transitions, these are calculated by using the configuration-average model. The spontaneous radiative transitions are calculated using detailed term accounting model. The preliminary result for hard X-ray emission from laser-irradiated plasma of U is presented.
