Abstract

A web-based 3-D blanket simulator with a user-friendly graphical interface for blanket design is developed to assist the process of reliable blanket design. The employed point-and-click interface is easy to use without requiring knowledge and in-depth experience with the MCNP code. The developed simulator can be useful not only for blanket design and analysis, but also for user education and trainee training purposes. This work will be extensively utilized in R&D towards the development of advanced Korean blanket concept designs.
