Hello, I'm testing about burnable poison depletion with mcnp6.

I'm using
m1 92233.82c -7.91619E-01
90232.82c -8.75802E-02
8016.82c -1.20800E-01
for fuel

and
m12 64152.82c -1.39023E-03 $ gd-152
64154.82c -1.53529E-02 $ gd-154
64155.82c -2.39616E-01 $ gd-155
64156.82c -1.46035E-01 $ gd-156
64157.82c -2.56647E-01 $ gd-157
64158.82c -1.79482E-01 $ gd-158
64160.82c -1.59950E-01 $ gd-160
8016.82c -1.52669E-03 $ o-16
for burnable poison.
but this caused fatal error

The following nuclides use physics models rather than data tables:

6014. c
7016. c
8018. c
9018. c
64151. c
64159. c
66157. c
66159. c
------
so I used omit option
omit= -1 8 6014 7016 8018 9018 64151 64159 66157 66159
Then It works, but, I want calculate gadolinia (64151, 64159)..
how can I do this?
 
Have you tried turning the advanced physics on instead of using the omit line? You could check the decay products Tb-151 and Eu-159 are being produced.

It might be fine as it is. Unless the capture cross section is huge it might not affect the answer much.

Another option might be to install ENDF-VIII and see if it has data for those isotopes.
