description A calculation technique computing the adjoint flux of perturbed system is developed for the exact perturbation theory in Monte Carlo transport. By using a correlated sampling and iterated fission probability methods together, the adjoint flux of perturbed system is calculated during a forward Mote Carlo simulation of an unperturbed system. In the method, no additional particle simulation is required to compute the adjoint flux of perturbed system. The exact perturbation method is implemented in the Monte Carlo code MCS. The results of perturbation method for k-eigenvalue change are compared against differential operator sampling, adjoint-weighted perturbation, and direct perturbation methods for the Godiva benchmark and PLUS7 fuel assembly.
