How to learn MCNP basically?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org


If you have access to the codes there are primers available online by simply searching for mcnp primer on google. From there you can learn the basics quite easily. The biggest problem is probably getting access to the codes since the new ones are personally licensed and there is a screening process.
