Terms finalized for Australian uranium exports to India
Following up on an agreement that was signed 12 years ago, Australia and India have finalized the details by which Australian uranium will be exported to India for peaceful purposes and under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The Administrative Arrangement to enable the long-term exports was reached at the Third India–Australia Annual Summit, held in Melbourne on July 9. The summit coincided with a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

This workshop will introduce attendees to two powerful Python-based tools for performing Monte Carlo simulations. The first tool that will be covered is MontePy, a Python library for reading, editing, and writing MCNP input files. Through hands-on demonstrations, we will show methods to automate common tasks for updating large MCNP models as well as ways to create an MCNP problem from scratch in MontePy. After covering MontePy, we will then proceed with an interactive demonstration of the OpenMC Monte Carlo code, showing how its Python API can be used to define a model, run a simulation, and analyze the results. Together, attendees will have a strong starting point for performing their own explorations using MontePy and OpenMC.
Participants should bring their laptop to follow along with the live demonstrations. There are no requirements to install software ahead of time. A link will be provided to access the software on a cloud computing platform accessible through any web browser.
