MCNP geometry error

Click For Summary
A geometry error in the MCNP input deck is affecting cell #14, which is crucial for the detector model. The user is struggling to define the union of surfaces correctly, seeking quick assistance for a resolution. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using surfaces accurately, noting that a half-hearted approach can lead to errors. Properly defining the boundaries is essential to avoid issues with the model. Clear guidance on surface definitions is needed to rectify the geometry error effectively.

I've got a small geometry related error in my MCNP input deck, corresponding to cell #14 (the outer edge of my detector model). This should be a quick fix, but I'm running into issues defining that particular union of surfaces. Any assistance is appreciated.

This is a quick trick for the experiment cell,
Code:
14 0 -99 #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 imp:p 1     $ surroundings
# negates a cell. So everything inside the surface that defines the boundary to the void (graveyard in your input file), but not any of the volumes defined by cells 1 through 12.

Using surfaces properly is probably better, but you can't half do it. It's perfect or it's broken.
 
I'd like to start a discussion/debate of nuclear power for the purpose of informing people about it. I am participating in a thread in another forum http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=9370 where we are discussing an article about Germany planning to phase out nuclear power. I am STRONGLY against this. It is bad for scientific, economic, political, and environmental reasons. In the course of discussions of the nuclear power issue, it seems to me that the arguements...
