The user inputs their own .mx base input file, then the code generates grid files for change in wt% composition of specific elements or chemical compositions. The code can also vary the depth of a deposit in a 2-layer model. For very basic studies, I have supplied level-0 models (spherical world with surface tallys) with basic source inputs. My code can also parse through MCNP output files to pull out specific tallys of interest for further analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This code can only be run on ITAR-approved clusters and computers in the United States. MCNP is a protected code\/software\/program owned by the National Laboratories of the United States and can be requested through <a href=\"https:\/\/rsicc.ornl.gov\/default.aspx\">RSICC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications\/Presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>L.E.Heffern, C.J.
