This workshop will be taught using the latest version of MCNP6.  This will provide a unique learning experience for those looking for a deeper understanding of the MCNP6 code.

 

Intermediate Workshops cover the entire spectrum of MCNP6 but proceed at a much faster pace and are more in-depth than Introductory Classes. These workshops are open to new users; the first day is a review of basics. However, the intermediate workshops are targeted toward more experienced users and are more problem solving than lecture classes. Intermediate workshops feature flexible course content, skip topics of least interest to the participants, and provide significantly more depth than introductory classes.

 

 

The Intermediate Workshop is truly a hands-on workshop and not a lecture. We provide expertise that does not have to follow a script, but can take the participants anywhere they wish to go nearly everywhere in the world of MCNP. After the first day each Intermediate Workshop is different, tailored to the specific needs and interests of those participating.  

 

 

The latest MCNP6 distributed by RSICC is used in this workshop. Additional MCNP6 Topics:

  • ACT card for controlling activation

  • Cyclic time-bin option

  • Photofission multiplicity option

  • Pulsed source options

  • Delayed-particle production

  • Tally tagging

  • Tally plot upgrades

  • LET tally

  • Focused beam sources

  • PTRAC coincidence option

  • MCPLOT arithmetic commands

  • LLNL photofission multiplicity option

  • Receiver-operator characterization (ROC) tally option

  • Pulse-height light tally: triple and quadruple coincidences

  • Time-dependent F8 tallies using the pulse-height light option

The class will be taught using the standard MCNP6 graphics package.
