To obtain a Monte Carlo solution of a deep penetration radiation transport problem, importance sampling is required. The adjoint function has been shown to be a good importance function. However, to fully utilize the adjoint information, a distinction must be made between two adjoint functions: the event-value function and the point-value function. The proper use of these functions in Monte Carlo importance sampling is discussed and illustrated, and methods of biasing three-dimensional deep penetration Monte Carlo shielding calculations using importance functions obtained from a two-dimensional discrete ordinates adjoint calculation are developed.
