An efficient albedo Monte Carlo method newly developed has been studied by analyzing two types of experiments on neutron streaming. The method is characterized by employing the energy-angle dependent doubly differential albedos for slab, which can be calculated in a short computer time with a one-dimensional transport theory, such as the Sn method and more efficient invariant imbedding method. This paper describes the features of the present albedo Monte Carlo method, including fundamental formulas. In the analyses of the neutron streaming experiments, the calculated results agreed with the measured data within a factor of 2 for a benchmark experiment at the YAYOI reactor and within a factor of 3 for an SNR sodium duct mock-up experiment.
It is concluded that the present albedo Monte Carlo method is practical and applicable to the reactor shielding analysis concerning radiation streaming.
