Benchmarking Monte Carlo Codes for Criticality Safety Using Subcritical Measurements
Monte Carlo codes that are used for criticality safety evaluations are typically validated using critical experiments in which the neutron multiplication factor is unity. However, the conditions for most ssile material operations do not coincide to those of the critical experiments. This paper demonstrates that Monte Carlo methods and nuclear data can be validated using subcritical measurements...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Value Iteration with Macro-Actions
POMDP planning faces two major computational challenges: large state spaces and long planning horizons. The recently introduced Monte Carlo Value Iteration (MCVI) can tackle POMDPs with very large discrete state spaces or continuous state spaces, but its performance degrades when faced with long planning horizons. This paper presents Macro-MCVI, which extends MCVI by exploiting macro-actions fo...
متن کاملA Noisy Monte Carlo Algorithm
We propose a Monte Carlo algorithm to promote Kennedy and Kuti’s linear accept/reject algorithm which accommodates unbiased stochastic estimates of the probability to an exact one. This is achieved by adopting the Metropolis accept/reject steps for both the dynamical and noise configurations. We test it on the five state model and obtain desirable results even for the case with large noise. We ...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo algorithm for degenerate plasmas
A procedure for performing Monte Carlo calculations of plasmas with an arbitrary level of degeneracy is outlined. It has possible applications in inertial confinement fusion and astrophysics. Degenerate particles are initialised according to the Fermi–Dirac distribution function, and scattering is via a Pauli blocked binary collision approximation. The algorithm is tested against degenerate ele...
متن کاملA Stochastic Monte Carlo Algorithm
We propose a Monte Carlo algorithm to promote Kennedy and Kuti’s linear accept/reject algorithm which accommodates unbiased stochastic estimates of the probability to an exact one. The probability upper bound violations are avoided by adopting the Metropolis accept/reject steps for both the dynamical and noise configurations and the lower bound violations can be absorbed into the observables. W...
