AI Thread Summary
MCNPX and MCNP5C are proprietary nuclear design codes that cannot be downloaded for free due to strict distribution controls. To access these programs, users must obtain an export license and request them from authorized entities like the US Department of Energy or Los Alamos National Lab. The software is available in the United States through the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) and internationally via the Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA). Visual Basic can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. Overall, unauthorized distribution of MCNP software is prohibited, and inquiries should be directed to the appropriate organizations.

Welcome to the forum.

Well, if you could take the time to properly pose your question without the IM garbage speak, I bet we could help you.

First, what is this software for? Most, if not all, of the nuclear design codes are proprietary and are not freely distributed. Second, why don't you do a simple Google search? If nothing is found by the search, then the code is more than likely not available and is in fact proprietary.

If you want to download Visual Basic, click on the link below.

I'm sorry, but that is quite impossible! MCNP is controlled (applied) technology, and one must obtain an export license and observe strict controls - i.e. no distribution to others. One may request it from US Dept. of Energy, Los Alamos National Lab.

Availability: MCNP is distributed within the United States by the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) --- formerly, Radiation Shielding Information Center (RSIC), Oak Ridge, Tennessee. There are versions for virtually all systems asked about (PC, Sun Solaris, etc.). Please contact RSICC directly.

MCNP has been distributed internationally by the Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA), Paris, France. The distribution is the same package as that from RSICC. Please contact Enrico Sartori.

I always laugh at these posts, they come up so frequently :smile:
 
I always wonder if they are real (say, posted by Ahmadinejad trying to make a bomb), or are they posted by some bored gov agent trying to preemptively arrest someone.
 
I am just waiting for the day when some Hamas agent comes in asking on how to build a better car bomb.
 
some bored gov agent

He/she would use better IM speak. :biggrin:
