What is the context?

It the C on a separate line and in the first column? This could be a comment.

I think you are referring to the first value after the FM, which in some literature and depending on what you are multiplying for is referred to as C. Depending on if you want reaction rate, heating and what sort of tally F1, F2, F4 etc then it is different.

There is good information in the literature particularly for medical physics
