Introduction of nuclear reactor physics summer 2012

AI Thread Summary
There is a lack of introductory nuclear reactor physics courses offered during the summer, with most programs being available only in the fall or spring semesters. The Colorado School of Mines is mentioned as having previously offered a summer program. The discussion also raises the importance of understanding one's background in physics or nuclear physics when seeking such courses. Overall, options for summer courses in this field appear limited.

I don't believe that there are any summer programs at an introductory level in nuclear reactor physics. All the programs with which I'm familiar have fall or spring courses over 4 months each semester.

What is one's level of experience in physics or nuclear physics?

The Colorado School of Mines has had a summer program.

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

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...

Thread 'Beginner Seeking Help: MCNP6 Burnup Example (OECD-NEA Benchmark)'

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...
