Full-Core Multiphysics Monte Carlo
2012 - 2020
The period from 2012 to 2020 saw rapid maturation of full-core Monte Carlo simulations with integrated multiphysics coupling, enabling high-fidelity neutronics linked with thermal-hydraulics and materials behavior for dynamic reactor scenarios. Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis became routine through sampling-based propagation and cross-section uncertainty treatments, improving confidence in core predictions. Tool development and benchmarking infrastructures matured to support robust code-to-code comparisons across diverse benchmarks, while Monte Carlo efficiency improvements expanded the practicality of high-fidelity reactor analyses.
