abstract = {Monte Carlo simulations are at the heart of many high-fidelity simulations and analyses for radiation transport systems. As is the case with any complex computational model, it is important to propagate sources of input uncertainty and characterize how they affect model output. Unfortunately, uncertainty quantification (UQ) is made difficult by the stochastic variability that Monte Carlo transport solvers introduce. The standard method to avoid corrupting the UQ statistics with the transport solver noise is to increase the number of particle histories, resulting in very high computational costs. In this contribution, we propose and analyze a sampling estimator based on the law of total variance to compute UQ variance even in the presence of residual noise from Monte Carlo transport calculations. We rigorously derive the statistical properties of the new variance estimator, compare its performance to that of the standard method, and demonstrate its use on neutral particle transport model problems involving both attenuation and scattering physics. We illustrate, both analytically and numerically, the estimator’s statistical performance as a function of available computational budget and the distribution of that budget between UQ samples and particle histories. We show analytically and corroborate numerically that the new estimator is unbiased, unlike the standard approach, and is more accurate and precise than the standard estimator for the same computational budget.},

OpenMC uses continuous-energy cross sections and a constructive solid geometry representation, enabling high-fidelity modeling of nuclear reactors and other systems. Modern, portable input/output file formats are used in OpenMC: XML for input, and HDF5 for output. High performance parallel algorithms in OpenMC have demonstrated near-linear scaling to over 100,000 processors on modern supercomputers. Other topics discussed in this paper include plotting, CMFD acceleration, variance reduction, eigenvalue calculations, and software development processes.},

`MC/DC` has support for continuous and multi-group energy neutron transport physics with constructive solid geometry modeling.
It can solve k-eigenvalue problems (used to determine neutron population growth rates in reactors) as well as fully dynamic simulations.
It also supports some simple domain decomposition, with more complex algorithms currently being implemented.
In an initial code-to-code performance comparison, `MC/DC` was found to run about 2.5 times slower than the Shift Monte Carlo code for a simple problem and showed similar scaling on some systems [@mcdc:variansyah_mc23_mcdc].

`MC/DC`-enabled explorations into dynamic neutron transport algorithms have been successful, including quasi-Monte Carlo techniques [@mcdc:qmc], hybrid iterative techniques for k-eigenvalue simulations [@mcdc:qmcabs], population control techniques [@mcdc:variansyah_nse22_pct; @mcdc:variansyah_physor22_pct], continuous geometry movement techniques that model transient elements [@mcdc:variansyah_mc23_moving_object] (e.g., control rods or pulsed neutron experiments) more accurately than step functions typically used by other codes, initial condition sampling technique for typical reactor transients [@mcdc:variansyah_mc23_ic], hash-based random number generation [@mcdc:cuneo2024alternative], uncertainty and global sensitivity analysis [@mcdc:clements_mc23; @mcdc:clements_variance_2024], residual Monte Carlo methods, and machine learning techniques for dynamic node scheduling, among others.
