A Monte Carlo method is developed that computes sensitivities or derivatives of the k-eigenvalue with respect to interface boundary locations for uniform expansions or contractions. The method is implemented in a research version of MCNP6, and its results are compared with reference solutions obtained from equivalent multigroup calculations with PARTISN (discrete ordinates) and direct Monte Carlo perturbations.
