Abstract

To provide the possibility of computation of detector readings from a pulsed neutron source (time dependent readings) the development of algorithms and their realization to upgrade precision Monte Carlo code MCU are considered in this work. New version of the MCU code was tested, which included comparison with experimental results. The experiments were made by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the late sixties. Neutron transport from a pulsed source through layers of various materials was studied in these experiments. The comparison of the MCU calculation results obtained for these experiments with the corresponding MCNP-6 calculations results is also given in this work.
