The user is experiencing an issue with the MCNP code that hangs indefinitely while simulating a 60Co radiation source in an irradiation chamber. Despite the code running and generating a graph, it fails to complete the simulation. Suggestions include sharing the input file for better analysis and considering a different approach to defining the lattice, as the current method may complicate debugging. A recommendation is made to define a 2D lattice instead of translating a 1D lattice for improved clarity and functionality. The discussion highlights the need for troubleshooting and potential adjustments to the simulation setup.
