The measurement of gamma ray-induced heating in a mixed neutron and gamma ray environment
The problem of measuring the gamma heating in a mixed DT neutron and gamma ray environment was explored. A new detector technique was developed to make this measurement. Gamma heating measurements were made in a low-Z assembly irradiated with 14-MeV neutrons and (n,n$\sp\prime$) gammas produced by …

Nuclear reactor multi-physics simulations with coupled MCNP5 and STAR-CCM+
… exchange of temperature, density, and volumetric heating information between the codes using ASCII text data files. Fortran90 and Java utility programs the assist job automation with data post-processing and file management. The MCNP5 utility code, MAKXSF, pre-generates temperature dependent cross …

Thermal transient computation for a CTR blanket following a major plasma disruption
… both the incident neutron and secondary gamma heating in calculating the volumetric heat source rate. With these modifications, the average value of the volumetric heat source rate was calculated to be 0.05 MW/m³ ~ 0.5 MW /m³. The disruption times used in this analysis were assumed to be …
