Isotopic Inventory Prediclion Employing a Monte Carlo Dancoff Factor

The importance of calculational speed and accuracy in reactor calculations are becoming even more significant with the present trend of regulatory requirements. In previous papers ^' described with the intent of trying to improve isotopic inventory techniques by arriving at a compromise between the calculational techniques and accuracy. The present effort has centered around the use of the computer programs LEOPARD , and KEN04 . The subject of this paper concerns the development of a new method for the determination of the Dancoff Factor by use of Monte Carlo calculations by means of the KEN04 computer program. 2 methods were
