Abstract

In the novel MultiTrans SP₃ radiation transport code the advanced tree multigrid technique is applied to the simplified P₃ (SP₃) transport approximation. The tree multigrid is generated directly from stereolitography (STL) files exported by computer-aided design (CAD) systems, thus allowing an easy interface for construction and upgrading of the geometry. The deterministic MultiTrans code allows fast solution of complicated three-dimensional transport problems in detail, offering a new tool for calculation of quantities of dosimetric interest. In order to determine the feasibility of a new code, computational benchmarks need to be carried out. In this paper, an application of the MultiTrans code to criticality problem is for the first time reported.
