Simulations of neutron and photon transport using the Shift Monte Carlo radiation transport code are compared with experimental measurements and their corresponding benchmark simulations from several sets of experiments. Overall, Shift results match the calculations made by the benchmark teams quite well and match the measured values, which typically have large uncertainties, fairly well. A variety of attenuation/scattering problems are examined, as well as a streaming problem and a skyshine problem.
