SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on obtaining temperature-dependent cross sections for MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code) without using NJOY. Users require these cross sections for reactor kinetic studies to calculate temperature coefficients. It is recommended to order the necessary libraries from RSICC (Radiation Safety Information Computational Center) or NEA (Nuclear Energy Agency) as alternatives to NJOY. Accessing these resources will enable users to perform accurate calculations across various temperatures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code)
  • Understanding of reactor kinetics and temperature coefficients
  • Knowledge of cross-section data and its significance in nuclear simulations
  • Basic navigation skills for RSICC and NEA websites
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to order MCNP libraries from RSICC and NEA
  • Explore the process of calculating temperature coefficients in reactor kinetics
  • Learn about alternative methods for generating cross-section data without NJOY
  • Investigate the latest MCNP version features related to cross-section handling
USEFUL FOR

Nuclear engineers, reactor physicists, and researchers involved in reactor kinetic studies who need to obtain temperature-dependent cross sections for MCNP simulations.

hello,
i am using mcnp for a reactor kinetic study.the only problem is, to establish the model i need to calculate the temperature coefficients, and in order to do that i need to calculate k in different temperatures and therefor need a mcnp library that contains cross-sections for a multitude of temperatures.Given that i don't have access to NJOY to compile the needed cross-sections,how could i get what i want?

You can order the libraries from RSICC or NEA instead.
Have a look on their websites for the package you want.
