Super Monte Carlo simulation program for nuclear and radiation process: SuperMC

Monte Carlo method has distinct advantages in simulating complicated nuclear systems. However, great challenges to current MC methods and codes prevent its application in engineering projects, such as difficulties in the accurate modeling of complex geometries and material distribution, slow convergence of calculation, prompt and effective analysis of massive data. Super Monte Carlo Simulation Program for Nuclear and Radiation Process (SuperMC) is designed to perform the comprehensive neutronics calculation, taking the radiation transport as the core and including the depletion, radiation source term/dose/biohazard, material activation and transmutation, etc. It supports the multi-physics coupling calculation including thermo-hydraulics, structural mechanics, chemistry, biology, etc. Key techniques including automatic and accurate modeling, high efficient calculation, 4D visualization were developed and more than 2000 international benchmark models and experiments were used to verify and validate SuperMC. SuperMC has been widely used in reactor engineering projects and etc. In this paper, the overview of SuperMC development was introduced. (authors)
