Monte Carlo Alpha Iteration Algorithm for a Subcritical System Analysis by Hyung Jin Shim, Sang Hoon Jang, Soo Min Kang

“…However, the α-k iteration method for the deep subcritical system analysis suffers from a gigantic number of neutron generations or a huge neutron weight, which leads to an abnormal termination of the MC calculations. In order to stably estimate the prompt neutron decay constant (α) of prompt subcritical systems regardless of subcriticality, we propose a new MC alpha-static calculation method named as the α iteration algorithm. …”
