AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the use of MCU-5 and the desire to study input files for various applications, including reactors and experiments. A participant recommends the book "Radiation Problems: From Analytical to Monte Carlo Solutions" for its comprehensive examples, though another notes it primarily covers MCNP code, not MCU-specific files. There is a request for sharing MCU input files, but concerns about copyright prevent the sharing of such materials in PDF format. Participants express interest in learning from each other's experiences with MCU. The conversation highlights the need for resources tailored specifically to MCU input files.

TL;DR Summary
Hi everyone! I have been learning MCU (Monte Carlo Universal), a Russian version of MCNP and am collecting input files to learn off of. The more complex the better. Or if anyone knows of a library of input files sitting around somewhere I'd love to know about it. Thank you!
I am working with MCU-5, and would love to study input files for diverse settings. Whether for reactors, experiments, or novel uses. It is all interesting to me. I am also open to hearing about your own experience with MCU and the times you feel you've extracted value from it.

Hi DAntanov.

The book "Radiation Problems: From Analytical to Monte Carlo Solutions" has many examples, from the simplest to the most complex. I recommend reading it, you can learn a lot. I don't know if I can upload books in PDF format here, but if a moderator allows it, I can upload them.

Thank you for the recommendation. However it seems that this book only contains MCNP code (am I wrong?). MCU input files, while having similar proper/function, are a different configuration/domain-specific language. I am looking for MCU input files specifically.

Not if it's a copyrighted work; that would be illegal and not allowed here. Thanks for asking. :smile:
 
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...
