SUMMARY
The forum discussion addresses a fatal error encountered in MCNP, specifically the "fatal error description of cell 27 uses 1098 words" message, which exceeds the 1000-word limit imposed by the software. The resolution involves simplifying the cell description by breaking it down into simpler Boolean expressions or creating different, less complex cells. This approach is essential for ensuring compliance with MCNP's limitations on cell description length.
