Recent developments in discrete-ordinates electron transport

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5469119

The computational state-of-the-art for coupled electron-photon transport (CEPT) calculations is not as developed as that for neutron transport calculations. The only production codes currently available for CEPT calculations are condensed-history Monte Carlo codes such as ETRAN and the ITS codes. A deterministic capability for production calculations is clearly needed. In response to this need, the development of a production discrete-ordinates code for CEPT calculations is described. The purpose of this paper is to describe the basic approach which is being taken, discuss the current status of the project, and present some new computational results.
