I am interested to calculate dose rate (gy/h, rad/h) from a point source at a certain distance through MCNP. If I use F6 tally it will give answer in Mev/g which can be converted to Gray or rad by using FM card, but I don't know how can I find dose rate like rad/h or g/h.?

Hi,
1 Gy = 1 J/kg
1 eV = 1.6022E-19 J
hope it's help

I know to convert F6 tally (Mev/g) to dose (Gray) but how to find dose rate i.e Gray/hour from MCNP ?
 
mcnp gives the result for one particle. Simply multiply by the number of particles emitted per second
