The MCNPX code is now in limited release in a beta-test version. We provide a brief status report on the physics modules now in the code and of the enhanced capabilities to use new evaluated neutron data. We also present new benchmark calculations in which LAHET and MCNPX are compared with experimental results from the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute.
