Abstract
For several years the Monte Carlo code MCNP has been widely used at ENEA (Italian Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment) both for photon and neutron transport mainly in fixed-source problems. Before MCNP version 4 containing electron transport became available, it was decided to acquire a Monte Carlo electron/photon transport capability, implementing in MCNP algorithms based on a new electron model, underpinned by the multi-scattering theory of Moliere. However, since MCNP4 uses the Goudsmit-Saunderson theory, the two versions may be regarded as complementary. The code, developed at ENEA-Bologna principally for radiation protection and dosimetry applications, was named MCNPE-BO and brief descriptions as well as some benchmarking problems have already been published. This report is intended to give a complete description of the code and the electron algorithm that it employs. A short review of the main differences between MCNPE-BO and MCNP4 and the input parameters is given. Two appendices with a detailed description of the inputs of MCNPE-BO and PEGS, the cross-section pre-processor, are annexed to this report.
