Investigation of a hybrid quasi-diffusion/Monte Carlo method for solving multigroup criticality problems in slab geometry

Creator:

Robinson, Bethany R.

Abstract:

A hybrid Quasi-diffusion/Monte Carlo Method for solving multigroup criticality problems in slab geometry was investigated. Analog Monte Carlo was used to calculate functionals (Eddington Factors) that were then used in solution of the quasi-diffusion equations. The hybrid method was shown to accurately and precisely predict the k-eigenvalue and fission source...
