Small Class Size, A Computer for Every Student, Taught by MCNP Experts, Excellent Training Materials for Future Reference

I believe this is a great course for users at any level.  I had never used the Visual Editor or MCNP before the class but the curriculum is so thorough and so well laid out that I was able to keep up with users with many years of experience, who also expressed considerable satisfaction with the class.  The best part is that the class can be taken again and again after you leave using the supplied manuals, exercises, and software.  The tools from the class become a valuable resource for general use of the Visual Editor and MCNP.  It was probably the best week I have ever spent learning anything associated with the nuclear industry.

Testimonials:

I would certainly recommend the class to any of my colleagues who plan to use the code.  In fact, I plan to discuss the code with our Nuclear Systems Analysis Division and send them your way.  The following is an excerpt from my trip report:

"The Visual Editor provides tools for creating complex geometries rather easily and includes error checking and 2-D & 3-D visualization to assist in the interpretation.  When you look at the code that is generated you can only wonder as to how it would be possible to do this otherwise and how you could ever validate that what you have is what you want or is correct."

Awesome environment.  Saved 150 hours of teaching myself.

The MCNP Visual Editor is a critical element to developing MCNP models.  Flaws with geometry and other MCNP errors are easily identified, saving countless hours of debugging.  Plotting particle tracks has proved particularly useful for radiation shielding, as scattering paths are easily identified.  As a daily user of MCNP, the Visual Editor has a permanent spot on my “Quick Launch” bar.
