MCNPX in its latest version is able to simulate the transportation of Fission Fragments. It opens the door to Fission Chamber simulations. Such simulations are not straightforward and comparisons with experimental spectra often failed. A procedure is described in the present paper to perform such simulation and to process the result to obtain realistic spectra. Simulated spectra are compared with experimental ones in various conditions to validate the method and to present its limitations.Read less <
