**4. Description of program or function**

Super Monte Carlo simulation program for nuclear and radiation process (SuperMC), a general, intelligent, accurate and precise simulation software system for the nuclear design and safety evaluation of nuclear systems, is designated to support the comprehensive neutronics calculation, taking the radiation transport as the core and including the depletion, radiation source term/dose/biohazard, material activation and transmutation, etc. [6]. It supports multi-physics coupling calculation including thermo-hydraulics, structural mechanics, chemistry, biology, etc. The main technical features include hybrid MC-deterministic methods and the adoption of advanced information technologies, while the main usability features include automatic modelling of geometry and physics, visualisation and virtual simulation and cloud computing services.

The latest version of SuperMC can accomplish the transport calculation of n, γ and can be applied for criticality and shielding design of reactors as well as analysis in medical physics.

SuperMC has been verified and validated by more than 2000 benchmark models and experiments, such as International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP), Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) and the comprehensive applications from the reactors including fusion reactor (ITER benchmark model, FDS-II), fast reactor (BN600, IAEA-ADS), PWR (BEAVRS, HM, TCA) and International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP), etc. SuperMC greatly speeds up the neutronics analysis, especially for complicated problems. Based on this program, detailed and accurate nuclear analysis models can be created, and accurate nuclear analysis can be performed as well.

acceleration methods for transport calculation.

In description of Monte Carlo simulation, this model can be easily calculated using the random value. A typical Monte Carlo simulation program can easily calculate the model verification by counting indefinitely, where each time they use

As the result, the Monte Carlo simulation program is a very important program

It is difficult to predict the real situation with absolute precision and accuracy which can be attributed to the different parameters that can impact the outcome of a course of action. The Monte Carlo Simulation can give all possible results for a new decision. It can thereby help us take improvements of a solution for a difficult situation under uncertainty. The probabilities of outcomes can be easily discussed
