Title: TART input manual. Revision 3.0.3

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10127636

TART is a Monte Carlo neutron/photon transport code on the Cray computer. The size of the code is problem dependent. The computer algorithm that determines the code size takes into consideration the numbers of zones, time steps, isotopes, and combinations of isotopes that are given as input. The basic code limitations are listed in the section ``Code Limitations.`` These constraints will be relaxed upon user request. The basic difference between TART and the ALICE, option in TART, is in the treatment of neutron in on and photon production cross sections. The method of treating cross sections in TART is described in UCRL-50400 Vol. 17, Part d. The multi-band method properly treats the resonance self-shielding effects that occur in many calculations. With the exception of NAME and BOX options, all input options are field free, space delimited and may be either fixed or floating format. The options may be in any order and any contradictions are settled in favor of the last option entered. Zone, material, and boundary numbers need not be in continuous order. This report lists first a minimum input file with which to describe a problem. Default values are given. A complete description of each option is then given under general groupings. This report will conclude with the input for sample problems.
