Monte-Carlo Neutronics

Simulating neutron transport by tracking many random histories.

Monte-Carlo codes (such as MCNP) track millions of simulated neutron histories to compute breeding, heating, damage and shielding in complex geometry. It is the high-fidelity neutronics Kronos flags as scheduled detailed-design work.
