MCNP6.2 BURN Problem Uranium Dioxide 4.2% Enrichment

TL;DR Summary
Whenever I try to burn more than one material in any cell/assembly. I always get a fatal error saying "Models required. Cannot use memory reduction option.
The following nuclides use physics models rather than data tables:
6014. c
7016. c
8018. c
9018. c "and some other nuclides.

But the same code runs perfectly for burning one material. Can anyone suggest me anything? I've attached a random sample cell problem but the same thing also persist in the assembly calculation code.
Sample cell problem:
uranium dioxide with 4.2% enrichment

You need to omit the following isotopes in the burn card too and apply the omitting to all isotopes. if they are not important for your calculation.

All will work.

I already tried and this is working. can you explain it to me how could it works? bcs i face similar problem..

It works with that input? Not in my case
 
  • #5
It will depend what libraries you have, and what BOPTS are in the input file. Potentially you can turn the advanced physics on instead. But you can't tell the program to not ignore nuclides and then not give it data tables or allow it to use models for those nuclides.
