MCNP6 Source Primer: Release 1.0
This document contains examples of MCNP general source usage to support the MCNP6 User’s Manual. The examples range from basic to advanced sources with different applications. There are also examples of how MCNP can fail and warnings for the users to look for at the output to ensure proper results are being created. The overall aim of this document is to provide solid examples of how to define sources with MCNP as well as how to verify the sources are setup properly. The reasoning for needing such complex sources is not discussed in the present work. Also, this document is not meant to be exhaustive of every MCNP source option and combinations of source options possible. However, it is intended to frequently update this document with new source examples provided by users. Please feel free to contact the MCNP6 development team to learn about how to submit a new or updated source example. Please include “General Sources Primer” in the subject line to route the request to the appropriate developers.
