Title: Impact of MCNP unresolved resonance probability-table treatment on uranium and plutonium benchmarks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:319741

Versions of MCNP up through and including 4B have not accurately modeled neutron self-shielding effects in the unresolved resonance energy region. Recently, a probability-table treatment has been incorporated into a developmental version of MCNP. This paper presents MCNP results for a variety of uranium and plutonium critical benchmarks, calculated with and without the probability-table treatment.
