Specialized Monte Carlo Program 18-0, GE-ANPD Program 349, is a digital computer program that applies Monte Carlo methods to simulate neutron and gamma - ray life histories in reactor-shield assemblies. The code is specialized to provide only as much geometry and importance sampling capabilities as are needed for analysis of selected reactorshield systems. Specialization in these areas results in a more efficient code for analysis of reactor-shield systems than can be achieved by application of more general-purpose Monte Carlo codes. The program is coded for an IBM-704 with a fast memory capacity of 32,768 storage locations. Seven magnetic tape units are required, but no magnetic drum storage is necessary. (auth)
