Quality is key: Investing in advanced nuclear research for tomorrow’s grid
As the energy sector faces mounting pressure to grow at an unprecedented pace while maintaining reliability and affordability, nuclear technology remains an essential component of the long-term solution. Southern Company stands out among U.S. utilities for its proactive role in shaping these next-generation systems—not just as a future customer, but as a hands-on innovator.

This paper describes an angular biasing technique that can be employed in multigroup Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations. This technique involves an alteration of the collision kernel of particle random walk. It can be easily implemented and can result in a substantial variance reduction. Implementation of this technique in the MORSE computer code is described. A deep-penetration test problem demonstrates the variance reduction.
