Welcome to the OpenMOC repository! OpenMOC is a simulation tool for

solving for the flux, power distribution, and multiplication factor

within a nuclear reactor. The code employs the deterministic method

of characteristics, with support for both fixed source and eigenvalue

calculations. The OpenMOC project aims to provide a simple-to-use

Python package bound to a back-end of source code written in C/C++

and CUDA. It includes support for constructive solid geometry and 2D

ray tracing for fully heterogeneous multi-group calculations.

Development of OpenMOC began at MIT in 2012 and is spearheaded by

several graduate students in the

`Nuclear Science & Engineering Department`_.

Complete documentation on OpenMOC is hosted at

https://mit-crpg.github.io/OpenMOC/. If you would like to

contribute to the OpenMOC project, please `contact`_ the

development team.

For a guided example, see a demonstration `IPython Notebook`_.
