Abstract
Using two discrete-ordinates calculations, one forward and one adjoint, to construct the weight windows for Monte Carlo can produce low uncertainties over a large volume of the problem. The FW-CADIS method was tested on two practical models and showed a great reduction in the computational time required to obtain reasonable answers. This method should be suitable for a wide range of practical shielding problems. The FW-CADIS capability has been added to the MAVRIC sequence. With one extra keyword in the input, the forward response can be estimated and used to weight the distribution of adjoint sources in the adjoint calculation.
