Monte Carlo N-Particle Simulations for Nuclear Detection and Safeguards: An Examples-Based Guide for Students and Practitioners (Hendricks John S.)
This open access book is a pedagogical, examples-based guide to using the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP(R)) code for nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation applications. This book fills a gap in the existing MCNP software literature by teaching MCNP software usage through detailed examples that were selected based on both student feedback and the real-world experience of the nuclear safeguards group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The MCNP code, general-purpose software for particle transport simulations, is widely used in the field of nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation for numerous applications including detector design and calibration, and the study of scenarios such as measurement of fresh and spent fuel.
Benefiting from the MCNP input and output files are explained, and the technical details used in MCNP input file preparation are linked to the MCNP code manual.
