The research involves calculational and administrative support for the LOTUS Project at the Swiss Institute of Technology at Lausanne, Switzerland. This project incorporates a modern experimental facility for performing a wide range of fusion-related experiments. The neutron source for these experiments is a series of Haefely tubes which are capable of producing approximately 5 x 10/sup 12/ 14 MeV D-T neutrons per second. The calculational support predominantly involves Monte Carlo analyses using the MCNP code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Additional modifications, or patches, have been developed for MCNP as results of this project. These patches include capabilities for (1) modeling of the Haefely source, (2) performing data sensitivity analyses, and (3) performing geometric sensitivity analyses.
