New capabilities of the MORET 6 Monte Carlo neutron transport code

The MORET code is a simulation tool that solves the transport equation for neutrons using the Monte Carlo method. It allows users to model complex three-dimensional geometrical configurations in a user-friendly way. New features have been introduced to extend the application field of MORET beyond the usual criticality calculations for which it has been initially designed. The most important change is the addition of an analog fixed source mode which allows studies of systems of any reactivity combined with very flexible outputs. Other useful improvements have been added concerning the geometric part, the fission matrix, the multigroup sensitivity coefficients and the outputs. This paper presents an overview of these new features. (authors)
