AI Thread Summary
Mesh3 cards are suitable for measuring dosage in concrete and are specifically designed for MCNP simulations to accurately calculate radiation dose. Your friend's mention of mesh1 cards may be misleading, as they are primarily used for measuring neutron fluence rather than radiation dose. For clarity on usage, it's advisable to consult knowledgeable sources or explore online examples. Numerous resources exist that demonstrate the application of tmesh cards in MCNP simulations. Understanding the correct card type is essential for accurate dosage measurement in concrete.

Yes, mesh3 cards can be used to measure dosage in concrete. These cards are specifically designed for use in MCNP simulations and can accurately calculate the radiation dose in different materials, including concrete. It is possible that your friend may have been referring to mesh1 cards, which are also commonly used in MCNP simulations. However, these cards are better suited for measuring neutron fluence rather than radiation dose. If you are unsure about which card to use, it is best to consult with a knowledgeable individual or refer to examples online. There are many resources available that provide examples of using tmesh cards in MCNP simulations for measuring dosage in concrete.
 
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...
