摘要：
Correlated sampling method, which can give unperturbed and perturbed results in one-time particle transport calculation, is a widely used perturbation method in Monte Carlo (MC) calculation. However, it has the difficulty in dealing with shielding problems, e.g. material replacement and geometry perturbation. This paper presented a large perturbation calculation (LPC) method which was studied based on SuperMC. The effectiveness of this LPC method was preliminarily verified and validated with a benchmark shielding experiment. Unlike multiple independent MC calculations, one perturbation calculation using the LPC method gave multiple perturbed results of the experiment which was comparatively time-saving. The results showed that the maximum differences between the perturbation and independent MC calculations were found to be 0.4% and 2.8% for material replacement and geometry perturbation cases, respectively. Therefore, the LPC method can be used effectively in shielding design. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
