    Calculation Gain
AI Thread Summary
For calculating target gain in a layered pellet with varying densities, the discussion suggests considering the isobaric model, although alternative models may also be applicable. The use of a heavy ion beam as a driver in a direct-drive scheme is noted as part of the inquiry. The conversation hints at the classified nature of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule designs, comparing them to small hydrogen bombs. The complexities of modeling such systems are acknowledged, emphasizing the need for precise calculations. Understanding the appropriate models is crucial for optimizing target gain in fusion experiments.

hi, i have a target with some layers and different densities, for calculating target gain, what model is suitable ? can i use from isobaric model? or another? please describe it for me.
i use from heavy ion beam as driver and i use from direct-drive scheme. thank you very much.

I suspect that ICF capsule design is still highly classified... they are essentially tiny H- bombs, which is the primary reason that LLNL's NIF was funded...
 

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information（power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.） for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
