Total Monte Carlo method
-
Random sampling methods are used for nuclear data (ND) uncertainty propagation, often in combination with the use of Monte Carlo codes (e.g., MCNP). One example is the Total Monte Carlo (TMC) method.

Instead of running hundreds or thousands of neutronics calculations, we therefore investigate the possibility to take those many cross-section file samples and perform ‘cheap’ sensitivity perturbation calculations. This is efficiently possible with the NEA Nuclear Data Sensitivity Tool (NDaST) and this process we name the half Monte Carlo method (HMM).
