MCNP, a general Monte Carlo code for neutron and photon transport: a summary

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5519826· OSTI ID:5519826
The general-purpose Monte Carlo code MCNP can be used for neutron, photon, or coupled neutron-photon transport, including the capability to calculate eigenvalues for critical systems. The code treats an arbitrary three-dimensional configuration of materials in geometric cells bounded by first- and second-degree surfaces and some special fourth-degree surfaces (elliptical tori).
