That sounds super interesting, how does one get into simulating reactor cores? I'm very familiar with MC methods from computer graphics.

OP's link was a rabbit hole (in a v. good way), sent me down some paper on the LCG random number generator used for MCNP modelling, which somehow led to that.

- acidburnNSA 4y agoI would definitely start with some of the openmc tutorials. https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/usersguide/beginners.html https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/usersguide/beginners.html If you're asking at a higher level, you end up in nuclear engineering school after having a nebulous interest in energy issues.
