Motivation
Codes need to solve increasingly difficult problems
Need accurate and fast answers
Monte Carlo with importance sampling is the best variance reduction
Codes need to be simple and as automated as possible

Background SCALE (Standardized Computer Analyses for
Licensing Evaluation) Collection of codes for performing criticality safety, radiation
shielding, spent fuel characterization and heat transfer analyses
Control modules or sequences automate the execution and data exchange of individual codes to perform various types of analyses
SAS4 – Shielding Analysis Sequence Automated 1-D variance reduction capability for more than a
decade, with limitations Effective for cask midplane and top center dose Not well suited to cask corners and very heterogeneous
geometries Hence, need for Monte Carlo tool with automated 3-D variance
reduction (AVR) for general shielding applications

CADIS Methodology - Consistent Adjoint Driven Importance Sampling
Use Discrete Ordinates to find approximate adjoint flux
From the adjoint flux Importance map for MC
transport (weight windows for splitting and roulette)
Biased source distribution
Biased source and importance map work together

SCALE Implementation of CADIS
Cross sections Multi-group SCALE libraries – many choices Create adjoint and forward cross section sets
Find the approximate adjoint flux GRTUNCL3-D – first collision code TORT – three dimensional DO transport code
Monaco Descendant of MORSE – still in progress Uses SCALE general geometry (KENOVI)
Automate as much as possible
