- Abstract
A Monte Carlo method implemented in the PRIZMA-DSP code to calculate multiplying systems, including weakly coupled systems, is described. In the code, the basis of the method is a sequential calculation of a prescribed chain of active generations, which is described by, first and foremost, the dominant ratio of the system. The fission points of the running generation serve as a source for constructing neutron trajectories, new fission points arising on a trajectory are transmitted unchanged to calculate the next generation, and so on. In the calculation of the active generation, Keff and made-to-order linear-fractional functions are evaluated. In order for the distribution to become established, a passive calculation with prescribed chain length is made before the active calculation. In addition, after the calculation of each generation the operation of random mixing of the entire set of fission points and their distribution over the nuclei is performed in order to obtain a uniform distribution. At the start of the calculation, a special rejection procedure performs a pre-set number of preliminary computational iterations so that an arbitrary zeroth distribution over all nuclei goes to a distribution obtained via a characteristic function.
