Current status of MCNP6 as a simulation tool useful for space and accelerator applications

open access: yes, 2012
For the past several years, a major effort has been undertaken at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to develop the transport code MCNP6, the latest LANL Monte-Carlo transport code representing a merger and improvement of MCNP5 and MCNPX. We emphasize

Applicability of the Krško nuclear power plant core Monte Carlo model for the determination of the neutron source term

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021
A detailed geometrical model of a Krško reactor core was developed using a Monte Carlo neutron transport code MCNP. The main goal of developing an MCNP core model is for it to be used in future research focused on ex-core calculations.

Benchmark study of TRIPOLI-4 through experiment and MCNP codes [PDF]

open access: yes2011 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation, Measurement Methods and their Applications, 2011
Reliability on simulation results is essential in nuclear physics. Although MCNP5 and MCNPX are the world widely used 3D Monte Carlo radiation transport codes, alternative Monte Carlo simulation tools exist to simulate neutral and charged particles' interactions with matter. Therefore, benchmark are required in order to validate these simulation codes.
