    Abstract

    PSG (Probabilistic Scattering Game) is a new Monte Carlo neutron transport code, developed at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The code is specifically designed for reactor physics applications, particularly at the fuel assembly level. Group constant generation for deterministic reactor simulator codes is considered as one of the main motivations for PSG development. This paper presents an overview of the main features of PSG, together with some typical results.
