title = "The embedded self-shielding method",
abstract = "The embedded self-shielding method (ESSM) is described for computing resonance-shielded cross sections used in multigroup neutron transport calculations with the SCALE code system. The ESSM {"}embeds{"} the self-shielding computation within the transport solution. The transport solution provides information for treating heterogeneous self-shielding effects, and the resulting shielded cross sections are fed back to the transport calculation. Iterations are done to obtain self-consistency. This allows self-shielded cross sections to be generated directly in the transport geometry without requiring external computation of Dancoff factors. The ESSM theory and example calculations are presented.",
