When the weight window is implemented in large and complex models, streaming path and deep penetration could lead to a long history problem that takes a disproportionate amount of time for the accomplishment of Monte Carlo simulations and exerts a detrimental effect on the efficiency of parallel computing. An approach set the limitation of weight window splitting was proposed for the alleviation of long history problem. Tests were conducted on a streaming dog-leg geometry model and a 3D model of the Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor. The results show that a suitable parameter in the alleviation method could optimize both the performance of variance reduction and the efficiency of parallel calculation, which makes long history problem tractable.
