A three-dimensional Monte Carlo model has been developed for accurate boiling water reactor (BWR) neutron and gamma fluence calculations using continuous-energy MCNP. Unlike earlier light water reactor models being run in the fixed-source mode with simplified geometries, this model is run in the criticality mode with actual geometry and material composition. The MCNP fast flux shapes in the downcomer region are qualified against measurements and are compared with results from two-dimensional deterministic DORT calculations.
