NEUP CINR-23-29466: Embedded Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo methods have long been considered the standard in terms of accuracy and have seen increased use in design of small nuclear systems, however the uncertainty quantification (UQ) of desired output is often relegated to later stages of the design process. This proposal seeks to embed nuclear data UQ in a single Monte Carlo simulation such that each desired quantity will not only provide the mean value and statistical uncertainty, but also the related nuclear data uncertainty, hence the
