Recently two papers were published proposing a way of efficiently estimating local responses within Monte Carlo eigenvalue calculations that employ the source-iteration scheme. This note corrects and clarifies some of the nomenclature in that work.
The question of variance reduction within the source-iteration scheme of a Monte Carlo eigenvalue calculation is tackled. The trade-off point between improving the statistics of a local response whilst simultaneously not damaging excessively the fundamental mode, the source for the calculation of the local response in the next fission cycle, is found. It is realized that applying less normalizations,...
