Quality Assurance Procedures for ModCat Database Code Files

Abstract

The Quality Assurance procedures used for the initial phase of the Model Catalog Project were developed to attain two objectives, referred to as “basic functionality” and “visualization.” To ensure the Monte Carlo N-Particle model input files posted into the ModCat database meet those goals, all models considered as candidates for the database are tested, revised, and re-tested.

An NCrystal extension for thermal neutron scattering in MCNP

A new extension for MCNP has been developed that incorporates the NCrystal thermal scattering package in the form of a Fortran to C++ wrapper, which adds the capability to describe thermal neutron scattering in the NCrystal formalism instead of the ACE tabular format. This can be used to described poly- or single-crystalline materials as well as liquids. In conclusion, the functionality of this extension to MCNP is illustrated using a layered crystal monochromator, leakage of neutrons from a moderating sphere of material, and by simulating criticality benchmarks.
