TopMC News
Announcements, technical articles and conference reports from FDS Consortium.
Peer-reviewed papers on calculation methods: a loading pattern optimization method based on discrete differential evolution, a data decomposition method for full-core Monte Carlo transport–burnup calculation, and Monte Carlo shielding design with a large perturbation calculation method. Published in Annals of Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Science and Techniques.
Read article →Peer-reviewed papers on visualization: real-time dose assessment and visualization of the radiation field for the EAST tokamak, and an image-based method for regulating 3D structured data sets. Published in Fusion Engineering and Design and Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering.
Read article →Peer-reviewed papers on testing and verification: benchmarking of the CAD-based SuperMC with the ITER benchmark model, and validation of its shielding analysis capability with SINBAD. Published in Fusion Engineering and Design and EPJ Web of Conferences.
Read article →Peer-reviewed papers on analysis and application at ITER: radiation maps during activated divertor moving in the ITER building, the use of MCAM in creating a 3D neutronics model of the ITER building, and shielding analysis for the TCP and IVVS bio-shield plugs. Published in Fusion Engineering and Design.
Read article →Peer-reviewed reference on a method that fuses self-attention-SPN with NSGA-III for multi-objective radiation shielding design optimization — combining a learned model with a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm instead of tuning shielding layouts by hand. Published in Annals of Nuclear Energy.
Read article →Peer-reviewed reference on CAD-based interface programs for fusion neutron transport simulation — turning engineering CAD geometry into Monte Carlo transport models instead of rewriting the geometry by hand. Published in Fusion Engineering and Design.
Read article →Peer-reviewed papers on the development of TopMC 1.0 for nuclear technology applications, the multifunctional neutronics calculation methodology it implements for nuclear design and radiation safety evaluation, and SuperMC — the CAD-based Monte Carlo program for integrated nuclear system simulation that TopMC grew out of.
