3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

MORSE-CGA was developed to add the capability of modelling rectangular lattices for nuclear reactor cores or for multipartitioned structures. It thus enhances the capability of the MORSE code system. The MORSE code is a multipurpose neutron and gamma-ray transport Monte Carlo code. It has been designed as a tool for solving most shielding problems. Through the use of multigroup cross sections, the solution of neutron, gamma-ray, or coupled neutron-gamma-ray problems may be obtained in either the forward or adjoint node. Time dependence for both shielding and criticality problems is provided. General three-dimensional geometry may be used with an albedo option available at any material surface. Isotropic or anisotropic scattering up to a p16 expansion of the angular distribution is allowed.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Monte Carlo methods are used to solve the forward and adjoint transport equations. Quantities of interest are  obtained by summing the contributions over all collisions and frequently over most of phase space.

Standard multigroup cross sections, such as those used discrete ordinates codes, may be used as input; either CCC-254/ANISN, CCC-42/DTF-IV, or CCC-89/DOT cross section formats are acceptable. Both fixed and free format are acceptable. Anisotropic scattering is treated for each group-to-group transfer by utilizing a generalized  Gaussian quadrature technique.

The MORSE code is organized into functional modules with simplified interfaces such that new modules may be incorporated with reasonable ease. The modules are (1) random walk, (2) cross section, (3) geometry, (4) analysis and (5) diagnostic.

The MARS module was interfaced with MORSE-CG to produce MORSE-CGA. It allows the efficient modelling of complex lattice geometries. Computer memory requirements are minimized because fewer body specifications are needed and nesting and repetition of arrays  is allowed.

While the basic MORSE code assumes the analysis module is user-written, a general analysis package, SAMBO is included. SAMBO handles some of the drudgery associated with the analysis of random  walks and minimizes the amount of user-written coding. An arbitrary  number of detectors, energy-dependent response functions, energy bins, time bins, and angle bins are allowed. Analysis is divided for each detector as follows: uncollided and total response, fluence versus energy, time-dependent response, fluence versus time and energy, and fluence versus angle and energy. Each of these quantities is listed as output. The diagnostic module provides an easy means of printing out, in useful form, the information in the various labelled commons and any part of blank COMMON. The module is very useful to debug a problem and to gain further insight into the  physics of the sandom walk.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

Flexible
dimensioning techniques require the use of a large container array in blank COMMON.

[ top ]

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

A series of nine sample problems are provided. CPU time ranged from 3 s to 2.6 m on an IBM 3033.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

This MORSE-CG computer code system has been revised to add a new geometry module MARS, a multiple array system that uses combinatorial geometry. The new code system is known as MORSE-CGA where CGA indicates combinatorial geometry array. The PICTURE code, which makes printer plots of 2-D slices through a combinatorial geometry mock-up, has also been revised to handle the MARS array capability. The JUNEBUG-II code, uses the DISSPLA Graphics System, Integrated Software Systems Corporation, San Diego, California, for making three-dimensional plots. Both MARS and JUNEBUG-II were originally developed for the CCC-466/SCALE system.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

All new MORSE users should request CCC-474/MORSE-CGA rather than CCC-203/MORSE-CG.
