- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
Recent work on the VIM Monte Carlo code has aimed at advanced data libraries, ease of use, availability to users outside of Argonne, and fission source convergence algorithms in eigenvalue calculations. VIM is one of three US Monte Carlo codes in the USDOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program and is available through RSICC and the NEA Data Bank.
