Abstract

Improvements in the KENO V.a Monte Carlo code to support sensitivity calculations are described in this paper. The calculation of angular moments and spatially resolved fluxes using a mesh accumulator are explained. The uses of the features to produce accurate sensitivity coefficients are explored in a series of example calculations. With limited user intervention, sensitivity coefficients that are consistent with direct perturbation results can be generated for complex systems.
