The status of MCU-5

The software developed within the framework of the MCU project which implements the Monte Carlo method for solving the transport equations for various kinds of radiation is widely used for calculating nuclear reactors of different types. The final version of MCU-5 is described. The developed libraries of constants are briefly described, and the potentialities of the MCU-5 package modules and the executable codes compiled from them are characterized. Examples of important problems of reactor physics solved with the codes from the MCU family are presented.
