hi every body, I'm working and calculating the keff, and total

hi every body, I'm working and calculating the keff, and total fission produced in critical accident in the cylindrical model. If critical mass is roached.
I calculated variable multiply coefficient (keff) by MCNP 5.
also total fission produced i don't know how to calculate this variable,
I really need your help.
thanks you very much for your help.

Well, you could just take the fuel depletion in atoms...

Total fission would be the integral of Ʃ_f and flux ∅(x) over the volume and time. One could reasonably assume a Gaussian pulse and mostly a prompt neutron flux.

thanks for your answer,
and could you show me about Ʃ_f clearly, eg i want to calculate with thermal neutron(E < 6.625e-7 MeV), and fission cause of U235. how is Ʃ_f?
Thanks you !

What is the initial form of the material? Solid metal, ceramic, or a aqueous solution? One can estimate the reactivity from k_eff-1.

Ʃ_f = N_U235 * σ_f

and N is the atomic density of the material.

Thanks you very much, i have calculate critical model with solution material, one things i don't know that σ_f, and could you show me how to find it?
Solution : UO2(NO3)2 . 6 H2O.

I would expect it is in a library of cross-sections in MCNP 5.

Otherwise, http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/sigma/index.jsp?as=235&lib=endfb7.1&nsub=10 - and find (n,total fission).

There will be no delayed neutrons.

Many thanks, and i will try to finish my problem...thanks again!
