An extensive study of population control techniques (PCTs) for time-dependent and
eigenvalue Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport calculations is presented. We define PCT as …

Targeting ultimate fidelity reactor physics calculations the Dynamic Monte Carlo (DMC)
method simulates reactor transients without resorting to static or quasistatic approximations …

Abstract Dynamic Monte Carlo (DMC) method recently became a relevant tool to perform
kinetic calculations even on the scale of power plants and further to simulate coupled …

Abstract In deterministic and Monte Carlo transport codes, β-delayed emission is included
using a group structure where all of the precursors are grouped together in 6 groups or …

We present a population control method with sampling and regulation steps for Monte Carlo
particles involved in the numerical simulation of a transport equation. We recall in the first …

Monte Carlo simulation is the reference method for reactor physics applications. Yet, the use
of Monte Carlo for time-dependent problems (operational or accidental reactor transients) is …

Monte Carlo methods have been used for nuclear applications since the beginning of
scientific computing. Decades of method refinements now allow to perform simulations of …
