Demonstration of OpenMC as a framework for atomic transport and plasma interaction

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
Abstract Modern tooling is demanded for predicting the transport and reaction characteristics of atoms and molecules, especially in the context of magnetic confinement fusion. DEGAS2, among the most common and capable tools currently in use, shares many fundamental similarities with the OpenMC framework, which was primarily developed for
