Re: Monte Carlo Method

[JPreisig@AOL.COM]

Hello RADSAFE People:



     This is from JPreisig@aol.com     .



     The users manual for MCNP (i.e. the Monte Carlo Neutral Particle 

Program)

has in its early chapters some discussion of the history of the Monte Carlo

Modelling Method(s), and other useful references.  MCNP can be ordered

from the Radiation Shielding Information Center (RSICC????) at Oak

Ridge National Laboratory for a rather small fee.  MCNP can be used for

neutron, photon, etc. Monte Carlo calculations.  Maybe someone like

Dr. Stabin would like to have such a computer code on hand... I don't 

know.  Maybe one can find the MCNP users manual in libraries, but I think

its distribution is somewhat limited.   There are other books on Monte

Carlo modelling available, usually in math and/or physics sections of

technical libraries.  Hey, why not do a search on the Internet???  (DUH???)



       Happy New Year!!!!                           Joe Preisig, Ph.D.
