The Half Monte Carlo Method: Combining Total Monte Carlo with Nuclear Data Sensitivity Profiles

摘要

For the Jezebel sphere the HMM method has been shown to successfully combine the advantages of the TMC and GLLS methods to obtain the distribution of k_(eff) resulting from random Pu239 evaluations. HMM provides both the components driving the k_(eff) distribution and can also reproduce the skewness of the probability distribution. Based on the work here it appears justified to fully automate the procedure in NDaST to allow a range of users to be able to easily utilize the method.
