Abstract :
A Web-based 3-D blanket simulator with a user-friendly graphical interface is developed to assist the process of blanket concept 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 a conceptual blanket design and analysis but also for user-education and trainee-training purposes. This work will be extensively utilized in R&D toward the development of advanced Korean blanket concept designs.
