Two new ANS standards issued
Two new American Nuclear Society standards recently received approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The new standard ANSI/ANS-56.2-2026, Containment Isolation Provisions for Fluid Systems After a LOCA, is a revision of historic ANS-56.2-1984 (W1999). ANS-GS-30.1-2026, Integrating Risk and Performance Objectives into Standards for New Reactor Designs, is a new guidance standard.
Both standards are available for purchase in the ANS Online Store.

This workshop will demonstrate a new tool for use with the MCNP(TM) radiation transport code tool known as p-study. The p-study tool effectively does total Monte Carlo by perturbing all physical configuration values accessible from the input stack and allows these to be propagated into a comprehensive tally uncertainty in the end. Specifically this workshop will serve as a tutorial on a new Operational MCNP GUI (OMG) that allows users to generate and run p-study to conduct this total Monte Carlo on their input stacks. Attendees are recommended to have MCNP6.2 installed on their laptop if they want to download the GUI and follow along in the tutorial, otherwise attendees can just observe. The workshop will start with a brief statistics review sufficient to understand p-study and will assume attendees have at least some familiarity with the MCNP code.
