Dose rate measurement through MCNP

AI Thread Summary
To calculate dose rate (Gy/h or rad/h) from a point source using MCNP, the F6 tally provides results in MeV/g, which can be converted to Gray using the FM card. To determine the dose rate, multiply the dose in Gray by the number of particles emitted per second. This approach allows for the conversion of the energy deposited per unit mass into a rate over time. Understanding the relationship between energy, dose, and particle emission is crucial for accurate calculations. This method effectively translates MCNP results into practical dose rate measurements.

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
 
Ok thanks
 
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...
Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
