<p>Monte Carlo codes, such as MCNP6, are in wide use in applications where radiation transport modeling is required for shielding or reactivity calculations. The standard MCNP software package comes with several tools to aid in creating, running, and collecting data from MCNP runs. While these tools offer valuable functionality, they often require additional work on the part of the user, going as far as additional programming to make use of the tool. A graphical user interface (GUI) is in development to provide users a convenient and easy to use development environment, not unlike integrated development environments (IDEs) used in programming. This environment lowers the threshold of entry into MCNP for new users and simplifies the process for current users by reducing user time for the creation of the MCNP input stack. The GUI can create, edit, and run input stacks as well as collect and merge tally data to export into convenient csv files. Functionality from MCNP tools is instantly available without the need for additional programming by the user. Tools, such as mcnp_pstudy, used in parameter studies, are leveraged providing additional utility in the developed GUI. This integrated environment opens the doors for easier and more advanced use of MCNP and its tools.</p>

2021 28th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE28)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
