A Monte Carlo Burnup Code Linking Mcnp and Rebus*
The REBUS-3 burnup code, used in the ANL RERTR Program, is a very general code that uses diffusion theory (DIF3D) to obtain the fluxes required for reactor burnup analyses. Diffusion theory works well for most reactors. However, to include the effects of exact geometry and strong absorbers that are difficult to model using diffusion theory, a Monte Carlo method is required. MCNP, “a general-pur...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations
A Monte Carlo simulation using the PRESTA version of the EGS4 code has been employed as an investigative tool to calculate the absorbed dose in water close to 192Ir wire implants. It has been shown that a treatment planning system, such as GE Target II, using the Sievert integral and the Meisberger polynomial is only able to reproduce the Monte Carlo results at radial distances of 1 mm and fart...
متن کاملAntithetic Sampling for Sequential Monte Carlo Methods with Application to State Space Models
Abstract. In this paper we cast the idea of antithetic sampling, widely used in standard Monte Carlo simulation, into the framework of sequential Monte Carlo methods. A version of the standard auxiliary particle filter (Pitt and Shephard, 1999) is proposed where the particles are mutated blockwise in such a way that all particles within each block are, firstly, offspring of a common ancestor an...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations of dose distribution for the treatment of gastric cancer with proton therapy
Proton therapy is a common form of external radiation therapy based on the manipulation of Bragg peak of this beam, it can treat the tumor by delivering high levels of doses to it, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues against radiation. In this work, the dose distribution of proton and secondary particles such as neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons in gastric cancer proton therap...
متن کاملSystematic Uncertainty Due to Statistics in Monte Carlo Burnup Codes: Application to a Simple Benchmark with TRIPOLI-4-D
A new burnup code, TRIPOLI-4-D, has been developed at CEA Saclay. It relies on the use of TRIPOLI-4 for the Monte Carlo neutron transport part, and on MENDEL nuclide depletion solver for the burnup calculation. Its main characteristics are pointwise energies, probability tables for the unresolved resonances range, potential fine multigroup calculation of reaction rates, the fourth order Runge-K...
