[2M16] Statistical Error Estimation and Bias Correction in Monte Carlo Criticality Calculation

*Taro Ueki¹ (1. Japan Atomic Energy Agency)

Keywords:Monte Carlo, criticality calculation, statistical error estimation, bias correction

In order to secure reliability, it is essential to evaluate a performance limit in the development of statistical analysis methodology. In this presentation, we report the evaluation of a confidence interval method in Monte Carlo criticality calculation against an extreme version of the problem of the k-effective of the world.
