To mark the beginning of the second century of nuclear science, the American Nuclear Society's Mathematics and Computation Division 2003 Topical Meeting is organized around the theme: Nuclear Mathematical and Computational Sciences: A Century in Review, A Century Anew. The conference will be held at the Park Vista Hotel, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, April 6-10, 2003. It is co-sponsored by the American Nuclear Society's Reactor Physics, and Radiation Protection and Shielding Divisions, as well as the ANS Oak Ridge/Knoxville Local Section, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Radiation Safety Information Computational Center, the Nuclear Energy Agency of the OECD, Korean Nuclear Society, and the Canadian Nuclear Society.

As the Conference's title suggests, the technical sessions are arranged in two major components. The Anew component includes the typical mix of contributed papers in regular sessions and invited papers in special sessions. Members of the Technical Program Committee have been extended an invitation to help organize special sessions on timely topics and to stimulate paper submission by colleagues. As is customary for M&C topical meetings, full papers must be submitted for review by October 21, 2002. Additional instructions to authors, including format requirements, will be posted on the Conference's web site (see below) at a later date.

The Review component of the conference is a marked departure from the standard Plenary Session format. It is comprised of eight invited lectures by world-renowned leaders in selected topics. Each half-day of conference sessions will commence with one such lecture extending for one hour, followed by a 15-minute Question/Answer session, a 15-minute break, then the regular and special sessions proceed.

The complete list of topics and invited lecturers is:
1. Deterministic Methods for the First-Order Transport Equation, Ed Larsen (University of Michigan) & Jim Morel (Los Alamos National Lab.)
2. Deterministic Transport Methods of the Second Order, Elmer Lewis (Northwestern University)
3. Monte Carlo Methods, Jerome Spanier (University of California at Irvine)
4. Reactor Core Methods, Kord Smith (Studsvik Scandpower)
5. Resonance Theory in Reactor Applications, R. N. Hwang (Argonne National Lab.)
6. Reactor Kinetics and Dynamics, Jack Dorning (University of Virginia)
7. The Role of Perturbation Theory in Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis, Dan Cacuci (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany)
8. Criticality Safety Methods, Elliott Whitesides (Oak Ridge National Lab. - retired)

The topics were selected to provide broad coverage of the major areas of research in nuclear mathematical and computational sciences in the twentieth century. The lectures will capture for future students and researchers a snapshot of what the field looked like at the turn of the century and how it got to that point since its inception. The stature of the invited lecturers promises to make this lecture series a unique opportunity for nuclear scientists and engineers to "hear it from the lion's mouth"!

MCNPX is the LANL all-particle, all-energy (eV-TeV) Monte Carlo transport code based on MCNP4C, LAHET, CEM, etc. MCNPX has been in active development since 1995, sponsored by the particle accelerator community. It has now become an accepted tool for a broad range of applications by nuclear engineers, physicists, and scientists. The MCNPX development effort has expanded the use of the Los Alamos tools to applications such as APT, waste transmutation, accelerator shielding and health physics, particle beam cancer therapy, space shielding and cosmic ray analysis, single event effects in semiconductors, radiography, and more detailed analysis of the effects of light and heavy ions in matter. In addition, the entire functionality of MCNP4C is retained. New variance reduction and data analysis techniques, many adapted from high energy accelerator methodologies, have also been added, such as the extensive 'mesh tally' capability which allows up to 3-d plotting of particle tracks, fluence and fluence-derived quantities, energy deposition, next event estimator generation contributions and particle sources.

The workshops include hands-on instruction, generally on PC Windows machines. Subject to participant export approval for the MCNPX beta test team, participants will be able to access the Fortran-90 version of MCNPX 2.4, the LA150 (150 MeV) cross-section data for over 40 isotopes for incident neutrons and protons, and 12 for photonuclear interactions, and a notebook of viewgraphs.

Follow-up consultation for class participants will be provided.

Classes are taught directly by experienced MCNPX code developers and instructors. For more information on code versions and their capabilities, go to the MCNPX Workshops web site http://mcnpxworkshops.com.

The Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville is offering two short courses for radiation transport and criticality safety specialists during Tennessee Industries Week (TIW-37), August 12-16, 2002. 
 Monte Carlo is often the method of choice to solve complex problems in nuclear criticality safety and radiation shielding.  To use Monte Carlo effectively, the analyst must understand the theoretical and computational fundamentals of the method, as well as the computational options available in particular computer tools.  Also, it is sometimes advantageous to create new special-purpose Monte Carlo programs to solve particular problems rather than use an existing program.  The Monte Carlo course runs five days.
 Engineers, scientists, and technical managers who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of nuclear criticality safety will be interested in the intensive five-day short course.  The topics covered in the course are based primarily on the experience of the five instructors which totals over 120 years of nuclear criticality safety related experience.  Such a wealth of experience needs to be shared with the criticality safety community including both new professionals in the field as well as experienced professionals. 
 For additional information on these two and other courses offered during TIW-37, contact Kristin England at The University of Tennessee, phone (865) 974-5048, email kengland@utk.edu, url  www.engr.utk.edu/nuclear/TIW.html.
