2006 ANS ANNUAL MEETING — “A Brilliant Future: Nexus of Public Support in Nuclear Technology” PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP: Professional Development Workshop MCNP5 WORKSHOP

Sunday, June 4, 2006 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Location: Nevada 6

The MCNP5 Workshop is directed toward MCNP users in four areas: criticality calculations, nuclear data, radiation detection, and medical physics. Members of the MCNP development team from X-Division at LANL will describe new features in MCNP5, discuss the effective use of MCNP5 in the application areas, demonstrate code input and output, and provide insight into both the development and uses of new features in the code. The workshop is organized into independent modules so that participants may attend any or all of the segments.

1. New Features in MCNP5

2. Advances in Criticality Calculations

a. Plotting spectral quantities using lethargy plotting

b. Using improved mesh tallies for power distributions 41 c. Source entropy for convergence analysis

d. Weilandt acceleration of convergence

e. HTGR geometry modeling

3. Nuclear Data

a. Current Status of ENDF/B-VII for MCNP Calculations

b. The DOPPLER code for creating temperature-dependent libraries

4. Radiation Detection Simulation with MCNP

a. Review the basic physics involved with gamma-ray radiation detection and discuss the limits of the simulation physics.

b. Review MCNP features useful in comparing typical calculations (eg. efficiency, spectroscopy) with experimental measurements for both active and passive gamma-rays.

c. Discuss comparisons with MCNP calculations and benchmark experiments for NaI and HPGe detectors.

5. Medical Physics Calculations with MCNP5

a. Review of recent improvements to MCNP for modeling medical physics applications.

b. Current status of the “MCNP Primer for Medical Physics Applications”.

c. Discussion of MCNP analysis of medical physics benchmark calculations.

Official Program DOE NUCLEAR CRITICALITY SAFETY PROGRAM and “ENDUSERS INITIATIVES WORKSHOP”

Friday, June 9, 2006 • 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. • Location: Nevada 6 & 7 Rooms

Sponsored by the Nuclear Criticality Safety Division Supported by the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP)

PURPOSE The NCSP is a comprehensive, crosscutting program that integrates the need to maintain the US criticality safety infrastructure with effective support for criticality safety programs throughout the DOE complex. This workshop, while not part of the official ANS program, has been arranged through the courtesy of the ANS Headquarters staff. The presentations are based on the DOE NCS Program, but because of the global application of the work supported by the DOE NCSP, feedback is encouraged from anyone interested in the needs of a diverse, well-organized criticality safety program in support of operations. Extensive audience participation is encouraged and anticipated.

SCOPE For this workshop, NCSP solicits input concerning ways to improve the ability of criticality safety practitioners to utilize NCSP products and thus better provide criticality safety support at their sites. NCSP seeks answers to the questions: Are the current NCSP products useful? What impediments, if any, limit

DOE NCSP Workshop their usefulness? What additional products would be useful?

At this workshop, the Enduser group will discuss the status of current initiatives presented at the last workshop in November, 2005, and propose new initiatives. 42 Working groups will then meet to address these topics, including identified needs and proposed actions, to enhance criticality safety programs across the DOE complex. Current initiatives include:

1) Operator training simulator 2) How to reduce human errors and errors during movements 3) How to best track materials 4) How to deal effectively and consistently with infractions 5) Sharing lessons learned 6) Neutron physics data area 7) Computer code features

Initial presentations will be followed by the break-out of working groups and group participation. Interested criticality safety practitioners are welcome to participate.

PROGRAM 8:00 am Welcome and expectations for the workshop 8:20 am Status of the NCSP Five Year Plan 8:40 am Enduser activities and status of need area initiatives 9:00 am Working group break-out sessions 11:00 am Working group reports, summary of progress 1:30 pm Closing remarks 2:00 pm Adjourn
