Studies of perturbations using correlated Monte Carlo method

  • 1. CEA, Sacley, France

Description

The influence of light perturbations of cross sections on a set of neutronic responses cannot be estimated with an acceptable precision by statistically independent Monte Carlo calculations. Differential TRIPOLI, a tridimensional, polykinetic Monte Carlo code permits one to calculate such variations by correcting the weights of particles previously simulated by a standard TRIPOLI calculation for the nonperturbed problem. The same sample of neutrons is treated, so that a correlation factor appears that improves the variance on the differential results. 9 figures, 7 tables
