Abstract: ABSTRACT In Monte Carlo criticality analysis under material distribution uncertainty, it is necessary to evaluate the response of neutron effective multiplication factor (keff) to the space-dependent random fluctuation of volume fractions within a prescribed bounded… read more here.

Abstract: Monte Carlo criticality simulations are widely used in nuclear safety demonstrations, as they offer an arbitrarily precise estimation of global and local tallies while making very few assumptions. However, since the inception of such numerical… read more here.
