Separations Campaign (TRP)
During the first two quarters of the work, the tasks included training students in the use of Monte Carlo codes used in radiation transport studies and the assessment of neutron multiplication factors for specific problems outlined by ANL-East through Drs. Laidler and Vandegrift.
The proposal also included objectives for the first year of work on this project, as listed below. The work conducted in the second quarter of the project was in partial completion of these objectives.
• Train UNLV students in the use of SCALE and/or MCNP for the assessment of nuclear criticality.
• Assess neutron multiplication factor, k …
