Rhoades, W A; Childs, R L

TORT is designed to solve very large two- or three-dimensional neutron and/or photon transport problems on a Cray or comparable computer using the method of discrete orginates. Extensive adaptability to new systems has been provided. Several flux solution procedures and acceleration methods are provided. The code can be used in stand-alone mode or under control of a driver. Problem specification requirements are similar to those of the DOT code, but are simpler and more convenient. The new zone specification format can be converted to a combinatorial geometry form for use in Monte Carlo codes. Several applications papers and a benchmark experiment relating to TORT have been produced. 70 refs., 3 figs., 9 tabs.
