Advanced MCNP6 Workshop

Important Dates

Workshop Dates:  March 6-10, 2017

Last Date to Cancel registration for a refund:  February 6, 2017

The workshop will be cancelled if the minimum number of participants is not reached by February 6.

 

All participants are required to bring their own laptop with both MCNP and the cross-section DATA installed.

 

Dr. Deokjung Lee, PhD, Associate Professor Interdisciplinary School of Green Energy, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (T. 052-217-2940 C. 010-2863-6255) is hosting this workshop.  To register, contact Randy Schwarz (see detailed information below).

Workshop Fees

Amounts are in U.S dollars.  Payment must be made in U.S. dollars.

 Workshop Description

Participants MUST get MCNP from RSICC prior to the class.   Email proof by following the steps in this .pdf file.  You must email this proof to Randy Schwarz with your registration. 

 

Because this is an advanced workshop, participants must already be familiar with basic geometries, sources, materials, and tallies.

 

The workshop schedule is here:  Schedule

 

This workshop will be taught using the latest version of MCNP.

 

The class will be taught by Randy Schwarz and John Hendricks.  This will provide a unique learning experience for those looking for a deeper understanding of the MCNP code.

 

These workshops go at a much faster pace and cover more material in greater depth than the MCNP/X introductory workshops.  The small workshop size enables a variable format that focuses on topics of interest to the individual participants and on participant's specific Monte Carlo problems.

 

Topics included are:

• Variance reduction - how to speed up and converge your problems better than ever;

• Mistakes even the most experienced MCNP users make 10% of the time.

• Latest code capabilities - tally tagging, pulse height anti-coincidence detectors, delayed gammas, spontaneous photons from radioactive sources, and more.

The latest MCNP 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 MCNP graphics package.  

Lodging and Facilities

This workshop will be held in Daejeon, South Korea, in the Yousung hotel.

 

The address for the hotel is:  9, Oncheon-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon
