PHITS Tutorial
PHITS is a general-purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code developed through international collaboration led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). It simulates the transport of nearly all particles—including neutrons, protons, heavy ions, photons, and electrons—across wide energy ranges (from 10-5 eV up to 1 TeV).
W3
TopMC Tutorial
TopMC is a multi-functional program for neutronics calculation, nuclear design, and safety evaluation. It is the updated version of SuperMC, focusing on high-efficiency particle transport simulations.
W4
XSUN/SUSD3D Computer Package for Nuclear Data Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis
The XSUN/SUSD3D computer code package is a specialized software suite used for deterministic neutron/gamma (n/γ) sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) analysis. It is designed to evaluate how uncertainties in nuclear data (such as cross-sections) affect calculations of radiation transport in shielding and reactor core applications.

Code System

SUSD3D/XSUN is a code system for deterministic neutron/gamma cross-section sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. SUSD3D uses generalized perturbation theory to calculate sensitivity coefficients and standard deviations in detector responses or reactor design parameters due to input cross sections and their uncertainties.

Applications and Demonstration
  • Reaction rates, neutron/gamma fluxes and doses, k-eff, and beta-effective calculations
  • Complex 1D, 2D, and 3D shielding and criticality problems
  • Uncertainties from neutron/gamma multi-group cross sections, energy-dependent response functions, secondary angular distribution (SAD), and secondary energy distribution (SED)
  • Test cases including criticality, beta-effective, fission, fusion, and accelerator (<50 MeV) shielding for both neutron and gamma S/U
Package and Data

SUSD3D is available from the NEA Data Bank as part of the XSUN-2023 Windows interface, developed to assist users in preparing input cards and rapidly modifying and executing the complete code chain including TRANSX, PARTISN, and SUSD3D.

A recently updated version of the package will be presented. Multigroup cross sections and covariance matrices in COVFIL, COVERX, and BOXR formats are included, with different energy structures and evaluations such as JEFF-3.3 and JEFF-4, ENDF/B-VII.4, ENDF/B-VIII.0, ENDF/B-VIII.1, JENDL-5.0, FENDL-3.2, CENDL-3.2, and IRDFF-II. New capabilities and options will also be presented, and SUSD3D can accept direct and adjoint fluxes from PARTISN and DORT/TORT transport solvers.

Workshop for Radiation Transport Simulation Developers (RTS2026)
The NEA Expert Group on the Physics of Reactor Systems (EGPRS) organized a workshop to foster exchanges among radiation transport simulation developers. The workshop aimed to facilitate exchanges among different code developer teams encompassing both scientific and commercial developers engaged in various radiation transport (RT) applications.
W6
FLUKA Monte Carlo Workshop
FLUKA is a general-purpose Monte Carlo code used for simulating the interaction and transport of hadrons, leptons, photons, and nuclei across a wide energy range in complex geometries. The workshop will provide an overview of the FLUKA code, an interactive demonstration, and hands-on exercises including geometry, scoring, and dosimetric calculations using ICRP adult mesh phantoms.
W7
ICRP Mesh-type Reference Computational Phantoms
Aligned with the next General Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the ICRP Task Group 103 have recently completed the development of the ICRP mesh-type reference computational phantoms (MRCPs) series for adults, children, and pregnant females (mother and fetus). This workshop will introduce the new ICRP reference phantoms, highlighting the backgrounds and rationales, overviewing the construction processes and the phantom characteristics, and demonstrating how to use the MRCPs in Monte Carlo radiation transport codes for dose calculations.
W8
PHITS-Attila4MC Coupled Shielding Calculation: Introduction and Hands-on Tutorial
The PHITS-Attila4MC coupled shielding calculation method combines the precision of the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code System (PHITS) with the advanced variance reduction capabilities of Attila4MC, designed to efficiently solve deep penetration radiation shielding problems, particularly those involving complex CAD geometries.
