TL;DR
Dears,
Kindly, I need an MCNP input file for the Westinghouse eVinci microreactor, urgently
I appreciate all your efforts

Welcome to PF.

Can you just contact Westinghouse to request the file?

Such details would be proprietary to Westinghouse, and they are unlikely to place such information in the public domain.

A non-proprietary summary presenation to the NRC. Note: the lack of detail.

Here is an image that one might be able to use.

Pretty sure @berkeman is being facetious. Westinghouse won't *give* you anything. If you buy an eVinci they might let you look at their code decks. In their offices.

I'm not sure that Westinghouse even uses MCNP. Maybe they do, but my experience (in other areas of reactor design) the reactor vendors use their own in-house codes. The NRC may use MCNP to back-check WEC analysis results.
