Dear Alexander Vlasov
  We could compute organ DCCs for a monoenegetic photon beam by FLUKA in
15-20 minutes (although we used a large size of primaries 2x10^8). We
have not used any variance reduction technique. Some of the FLUKA experts
may comment on the aspects of variance reduction techniques for voxel
geometry. I could not comment about MCNP as we have no access to it.
