Monte Carlo Methods and Codes for Nuclear Engineering Analysis
Description
Key Features
- Discusses and compares the radiation transport methods in real-life Monte Carlo (MC) codes used by nuclear scientists and engineers
- Presents, in one convenient volume, information previously scattered between conference papers, journal articles and code manuals, thus allowing MC code users to compare features and make an educated selection of codes
- Presents content at a level that is appropriate for readers who are unfamiliar with the field, but then goes on to address the state-of-the-art
Readership
Researchers and code developers in academia working on Monte Carlo methods. Postgraduate students studying Monte Carlo methods with applications to nuclear science and engineering and their teachers. Nuclear engineering professionals working on projects requiring the use of MC methods and codes
