A few things to think about,

The void cell is 4, so your imp line should be 1 1 1 0 not 1 1 0 1, right?

You have a point source at 0 0 0 (default source location) is this on the edge of two cells? It needs to not be on the edge. If you want to make cell 2 a homogeneous source, a sphere with a box cut out of it, that is tricky. A surface source might be easier from surface 2, but it depends a lot on what the problem is.

erg= has a space before 0.025

If you rename your input file to add .txt you can attach it to a post, or you can paste into BB code tags, then we can see the version with the correct formatting.

Thank you sir for your comments
Cell 1 is immersed in a thermal neutron source which is the cell 2
