Like.
I'm very sorry to disturb everyone. The problem has been solved. In fact, it was due to carelessness that I wrote the wrong number of... -
AAlex A replied to the thread MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly.I'm assuming since you get answers both materials are on your MAT card. Can you show us what isn't working by renaming it to a .txt and...

AAlex A reacted to Astronuc's post in the thread Interesting Documentary on the Dounreay Breeder Reactor with
Informative.
The video in the OP offers a fair assessment. There was a level of negligence involved. Reprocessing nuclear fuel is complicated... -

AAlex A replied to the thread Beginner Seeking Help: MCNP6 Burnup Example (OECD-NEA Benchmark).Adding a token quantity of Am and Pu isotopes to the material being burned seems to work (0 might work too?). A listing in a material...

AAlex A reacted to berkeman's post in the thread Fusion research idea involving more pressure with Informative.
Presumably you mean Magnetic Confinement reactors (Tokamaks and similar), and not Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) reactors. Magnetic...

AAlex A reacted to Astronuc's post in the thread Is nuclear fusion without radioactive waste possible? with Informative.
Not as yet. This would require an aneutronic fusion reaction, i.e., a fusion reaction that does not produce neutrons. One reaction of...

AAlex A reacted to Astronuc's post in the thread Atomic displacements, replacements, and radiation damage of structural materials with Informative.
An important aspect of nuclear materials, and components of which they are made, is their ability to perform over the design life. The...
