COG is a modern, general-purpose, high fidelity, multi-particle transport code with a long history of use in criticality safety studies at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This code was released to the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) for distribution to the public for the first time in January 2006. This paper provides an overview of the code development history, a description of features and capabilities of interest to the criticality safety practitioner, and our plans in support of the next public RSICC release.
