4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

MCNP6™ is a general-purpose, continuous-energy, generalized-geometry, time-dependent, Monte Carlo radiation-transport code designed to track many particle types over broad ranges of energies. MCNP6 represents the culmination of a multi-year effort to merge the MCNP5™ [X-503] and MCNPX™ [PEL11] codes into a single product comprising all features of both. For those familiar with previous versions of MCNP, you will discover the code has been expanded to handle a multitude of particles and to include model physics options for energies above the cross-section table range, a material burnup feature, and delayed particle production. Expanded and/or new tally, source, and variance-reduction options are available to the user as well as an improved plotting capability. The capability to calculate keff eigenvalues for fissile systems remains a standard feature. Although MCNP6 is simply and accurately described as the merger of MCNP5 and MCNPX capabilities, the result is much more than the sum of these two computer codes. MCNP6 is the result of five years of effort by the MCNP5 and MCNPX code development teams. These groups of people, residing in the Los Alamos National Laboratory's (LANL) X Computational Physics Division, Monte Carlo Codes Group (XCP-3), and Nuclear Engineering and Nonproliferation Division, Systems Design and Analysis Group (NEN-5, formerly D-5), have combined their code development efforts to produce the next evolution of MCNP. While maintenance and bug fixes will continue for MCNP5 v.1.60 and MCNPX v.2.7.0 for upcoming years, new code development capabilities will be developed and released only in MCNP6. In fact, this initial production release of MCNP6 (v. 1.0) contains 16 new features not previously found in either code. These new features include (among others) the abilities to import unstructured mesh geometries from the finite element code Abaqus, to transport photons down to 1.0 eV, to model complete atomic relaxation emissions, and to generate or read mesh geometries for use with the LANL discrete ordinates code PARTISN.

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

In addition to the code capabilities of MCNP5 and MCNPX, MCNP6 includes several significant new capabilities not found in either of the parent codes. These capabilities are described below.

 

Adjoint-based sensitivity coefficients

Geometry mesh file creation

Unstructured mesh geometry

Low energy photon and electron transport for atomic cross sections

Complete photon-induced atomic relaxation

Explicit tracking of all charged particles in magnetic fields

Nested dxtran spheres

Uncollided secondaries

Perturbations for keff

Updates to Delayed Particle Model Package

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

MCNP6 will not exactly recreate the particle tracks of either MCNP5 nor MCNPX because several default options have been changed.  Users should be aware that this first production release does contain several limitations. Although individual MCNP5 and MCNPX features work, full interoperability between MCNP5, X and 6 features does not necessarily exist, and this large combination of features has not been extensively tested. While there has been a significant amount of V&V behind MCNP6 already, and this V&V is made available with the MCNP6 distribution, users have been cautioned and continue to be cautioned that they are responsible for V&V for their own particular application of the code. It is expected that users of this initial release apply MCNP6 to the problems that they know well and have some intuition about, and report back to the MCNP6 team (email mcnp6@lanl.gov) their findings, either pro or con. Evidence for appropriate performance of MCNP6 should be added to the MCNP6 documentation and verification test suites, and evidence of discrepancies, especially discrepancies with MCNP5 1.60 or MCNPX 2.7.0, should be submitted for investigation.

7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Problem dependent.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

MCNP6 will operate on most systems.

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

MCNP6 runs on PC's under Windows (Cygwin), Linux, and MacOSX. The code has improved support for newer Fortran 90 compilers.   Included executables were created with the following compilers:

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

The MCNP5 code treats an arbitrary three-dimensional configuration of materials in geometric cells bounded by first- and second-degree surfaces and fourth-degree elliptical tori. Pointwise cross-section data are used. For neutrons, all reactions given in a particular cross-section evaluation (such as ENDF/B-VI) are accounted for. Thermal neutrons are described by both the free gas and S(ƒ¿,ƒÀ) models. For photons, the code accounts for incoherent and coherent scattering, the possibility of fluorescent emission after photoelectric absorption, and absorption in electron-positron pair production. Electron/positron transport processes account for angular deflection through multiple Coulomb scattering, collisional energy loss with optional straggling, and the production of secondary particles including K x-rays, knock-on and Auger electrons, bremsstrahlung, and annihilation gamma rays from positron annihilation at rest. Electron transport does not include the effects of external or self-induced electromagnetic fields. Photonuclear physics is available for a limited number of isotopes.

Important standard features that make MCNP very versatile and easy to use include a powerful general source, criticality source, and surface source; both geometry and output tally plotters; a rich collection of variance reduction techniques; a flexible tally structure; and an extensive collection of cross-section data. Energy ranges are from 10-11 to 20 MeV for neutrons with data up to 150 MeV for some nuclides, 1 keV to 1 GeV for electrons, and 1 keV to 100 GeV for photons.

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

Energy ranges are noted above.

7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

On a 2 GHz Pentium 4, compilation of MCNP5 takes about 3 minutes, and the 50 regression test cases run in about 2 minutes.

8.         COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

MCNP5 is operable on PC's and on Macintosh (Intel-based) computers. Expanding and compiling the code system requires 500 MB, and the ASCII cross sections require ~11 GB of hard disk space. Up to 14 GB may be required during file expansion.

9.         COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

MCNP5 1.60 runs on PC's under Windows (Windows 7, Windows 2000, XP or Vista) or Linux and on Macintosh (Intel-based) computers with MacOSX. The code has improved support for newer Fortran 90 compilers. The gcc C compiler is used for all versions. The compilers supported are listed below.

Linux (32-bit and 64-bit):

o    g95 (0.9) mpi

o    gfortran (4.4.2) mpi

o    Intel (10.0, 11) omp, mpi

o    Portland (7.0-5, 9.0-3) omp, mpi

Included executables and reference templates for output and tally files used in the MCNP5 regression test suite were generated for Linux and Windows with the following compilers:

Windows: 32-Bit Pentium IV, Windows 2000 Professional SP4 with cygwin, Intel 9.1 f90, gcc

Linux: 64-bit AMD Opteron 2.0 GHz, Red Hat Linux 9, Intel 10.0.023 f90, gcc. Also included are MCNP5 Linux 32-bit executables – with and without OMP.

Mac: Intel-based and PowerPC-based executables are included.

Compilation of the MCNP5 source code in the C00740MNYCP06 distribution requires both Fortran 90 and ANSI C standard compilers. Dynamic storage allocation is available on all supported systems. Additional information may be posted to the MCNP Forum archives in the electronic notebook on the RSICC website.

The eompf notation after a compiler indicates that threading (also called gshared memory multiprocessingh or microtasking) can be used when building an MCNP5 executable. For computers having multi-core processors (e.g., Intel Core2 duo, Intel quad-core Xeon, etc.), MCNP5 should generally be compiled with the eompf option. Note that some compilers are not yet suitable for compiling a threaded version of MCNP5.

For compiling MCNP5 on Windows PCs, the Cygwin environment must first be installed. Cygwin is a collection of GNU-based Unix utilities which have been ported to Windows. The Cygwin environment may be obtained at no cost from the web site http://www.cygwin.com.

For plotting geometry, cross-sections, or results, X11 must be installed on your PC. An X-windows server is required to display the X11 graphics. Suggested servers include ReflectionX, Exceed, and XWin (Cygwin).

4.         NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

MCNPX (MCNP eXtended) is a Fortran90 (F90) Monte Carlo radiation transport computer code that transports many particles over a broad range of energies. It is a superset of MCNP4C3 and has many capabilities beyond MCNP4C3. MCNPX is a production computer code that models the interaction of radiation with matter. New capabilities and enhancements of MCNPX 2.7.0 beyond MCNPX 2.6.0 are listed below. For details, see LA-UR-11-2295.pdf posted on the MCNPX website http://mcnpx.lanl.gov/.

·         Tally tagging;

·         CEM 3.02 upgrade;

·         Plot appearance upgrades;

·         Embedded sources;

·         Stopping power energy table control;

·         Cyclic time bins;

·         Focused beam sources;

·         PTRAC coincidence option;

·         LLNL fission multiplicity;

·         Arithmetic MCPLOT options;

·         Receiver-operator characterization (ROC) tally option;

·         Pulse-height light tally:  triple and quadruple coincidences;

·         Time-dependent F8 tallies using the pulse-height light option;

·         LAQGSM 3.03 upgrade.

MCNPXTM is a general purpose Monte Carlo radiation transport code that tracks nearly all particles at nearly all energies. The official release date of MCNPX 2.7.0 is April 18, 2011. MCNPX began in 1994 as a code-merger project of MCNP 4B and LAHET 2.8. It was first released to the public in 1999 as version 2.1.5. In 2002, MCNPX was upgraded to MCNP 4C, converted to Fortran 90, enhanced with 12 new features, and released to the public as version 2.4.0. The release of version 2.7.0 includes many new features described in the gMCNPX Extensions Version 2.7.0h document which is provided with the MCNPX distribution. The depletion/burnup capability is based on CINDER90 and MonteBurns. MCNPX depletion is a linked process involving steady-state flux calculations in MCNPX and nuclide depletion calculations in CINDER90. Currently, the depletion/burnup/transmutation capability is limited to criticality (KCODE) problems. Physics improvements include new versions of Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) and Los Alamos Quark-Gluon String Model (LAQGSM) event generator, and a substantial upgrade to fission multiplicities. Current physics modules include the Bertini and ISABEL models taken from the LAHET Code System (LCS), CEM 03, and INCL4. Many new tally source and variance-reduction options have been developed. MCNPX is released with libraries for neutrons, photons, electrons, protons and photonuclear interactions. In addition, variance reduction schemes (such as secondary particle biasing), and new tallies have been created specific to the intermediate and high energy physics ranges. The emeshf and eradiographyf tallies were included for 2- and 3-dimensional imaging purposes. Energy deposition received a substantial reworking based on the demands of charged-particle high-energy physics. An auxiliary program, GRIDCONV, converts the mesh and radiography tally as well as standard MCTAL-file results for viewing by independent graphics packages. The code may be run in parallel at all energies via PVM or MPI. Information about MCNPX development can be found on the web site http://mcnpx.lanl.gov/.
