SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers around the urgent request for an MCNP input file specifically for the Westinghouse eVinci microreactor. Participants highlight that such files are likely proprietary and not publicly available. It is suggested that contacting Westinghouse directly may be the only viable option for obtaining the file. Additionally, there is skepticism regarding whether Westinghouse utilizes MCNP, as many reactor vendors tend to rely on their proprietary codes for analysis.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code)
- Familiarity with reactor design principles
- Knowledge of proprietary software and data access protocols
- Awareness of NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) documentation standards
NEXT STEPS
- Research how to effectively contact Westinghouse for proprietary data requests
- Learn about MCNP input file structure and usage
- Investigate alternative reactor design codes used by vendors
- Review NRC documentation related to microreactor safety and analysis
USEFUL FOR
Engineers, researchers, and regulatory professionals involved in nuclear reactor design, particularly those interested in the Westinghouse eVinci microreactor and MCNP analysis.
