39、. In the practice sug-gested in this standard, a source distributionthroughout the core is prepared using the re-sults of core physics calculations; multidimen-sional transport theory calculations then areperformed to propagate the neutrons to regionsoutside the core.This standard uses codes based o

In this approach,the fluence distribution is determined by syn-thesizing the results of one- and two-dimensionaldiscrete ordinates solutions. 7#3.2.3 Monte Carlo transport methodIn addition to the considerations in Sec. 3.2.1,the

The great flexibility in typical MonteCarlo codes allows a very detailed representa-tion, and this should be used
