This open access book is a pedagogical, examples-based guide to using the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP®) code for nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation applications. The MCNP code, general-purpose software for particle transport simulations, is w

This book is intended to aid nuclear safeguard scientists and engineers in more effective use of the MCNP® radiation modeling computer code. It should also be of use to both beginning and advanced users of the MCNP software in other fields and to th

Four simplified examples of actual safeguard calculations are provided. First is a combined (α,n) and spontaneous fission source in a nuclear fuel assembly in a water tank with fission detectors. Second is an HLNC2 high level neutron coincidence cou

Perhaps the two most abstract concepts in Monte Carlo sampling are variance reduction and next-event estimators. Variance reduction techniques enable significant enhancement of statistical convergence. They are then illustrated with safeguard example

Careful scrutiny of MCNP output is required to ensure the results obtained are the results desired. The principal sources of error are examined with recommendations on how to detect them and avoid them. There are some situations where the MCNP defaul

Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool used to model neutron coincidence detectors for international safeguards. The simulation has typically sampled properties such as the fission neutron multiplicity, energy, and direction, from independent prob

In recent years, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has pursued innovative techniques and an integrated suite of safeguards measures to address the verification challenges posed by the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Among the unatten
