Description

The MONK Monte Carlo criticality and reactor physics code and the MCBEND Monte Carlo radiation shielding and dosimetry code have each undergone a significant number of developments over the last few years. The codes are actively developed, maintained and supported by AMEC's ANSWERS Software Service, MCBEND11 was released in 2013; MONK10 is expected to be released in late 2013 or early 2014. This paper summarises the current status of MONK and MCBEND and the recent developments which have been carried out to the codes, and their supporting nuclear data libraries and visualisation package
