Physics Issues Investigation on Nuclear Fusion or Fission question help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on exploring potential topics for a physics investigation related to nuclear energy and radiation issues. Key areas of interest include the conversion of thermal energy from nuclear fission and fusion into usable energy. Participants suggest calculating the energy released in both processes and determining the equivalent temperatures. A resource link is provided to assist with these calculations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications of nuclear energy in the context of radiation.

Hello,
I was just wondering if anybody could give me any ideas about a possible direction in a Physics issues investigation. I am looking at choosing one around nuclear energy and the issues of radiation. Any help or interesting sugestions of avenues in nuclear physics, and or possibe guiding questions would help.
Thanks Dylan.

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...
