AI Thread Summary
To perform a reactor kinetic study using MCNP, access to a library with cross-sections at various temperatures is essential for calculating temperature coefficients. Without NJOY to compile these cross-sections, users can obtain the necessary libraries by ordering them from RSICC or NEA. It's recommended to visit their websites to find the appropriate packages. This approach will facilitate the required calculations for the reactor model. Accessing these resources is crucial for advancing the study effectively.

hello,
i am using mcnp for a reactor kinetic study.the only problem is, to establish the model i need to calculate the temperature coefficients, and in order to do that i need to calculate k in different temperatures and therefor need a mcnp library that contains cross-sections for a multitude of temperatures.Given that i don't have access to NJOY to compile the needed cross-sections,how could i get what i want?

You can order the libraries from RSICC or NEA instead.
Have a look on their websites for the package you want.

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...
