“…As stated in the literature, MCNPX is an extended version of MCNP that transports many particles over a boarder range of energy than MCNP4C. On the other hand, MCNP4C is capable of transporting photons, neutrons, and electrons in different energy range, and the differences between these two versions (MCNPX and MCNP4C) are not related to the parameters that affects photon/electron transport in diagnostic energy range (Kirk 2010;Mourtada et al 2003). Therefore, given our access to MCNP4C, this code was used as the Monte Carlo transportation code.…”

“…The Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) is one of the world's leading resources for a broad range of the best available nuclear computational tools and services [24]. For an overview of Monte Carlo codes managed by RSICC, see the paper [25]; Mercury has a similar set of features but is not currently released under RSICC. MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle) [26] is the most well known related Monte Carlo particle transport code.…”

“…Neste trabalho foi utilizado o MCNP5 (X-5 Monte Carlo Team, 2005) nas simulações. Este código foi desenvolvido pelo Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), e pode ser usado para o transporte de nêutrons, fótons, elétrons individualmente ou de modo acoplado (Kirk, 2010). Quanto à geometria, esse código possui uma vasta flexibilidade de modelagem geométrica, sendo possível a criação de geometrias a partir de superfícies e/ou por estruturas repetidas.…”
