Alpha (time-absorption eigenvalue) calculations are not an explicit calculational option in MCNP. However, alpha-like calculations can easily be performed with MCNP using the KCODE option with neutron energy or time cutoffs. These alphalike calculations are described and tested here. Approximate alpha flux distributions may easily be calculated by this method.
