AI Thread Summary
Bonner balls, often referred to as Bonner spheres, are specialized detectors used for measuring neutron energy. They are designed to capture and analyze neutron interactions, providing crucial data for various applications in radiation safety and nuclear research. While specific descriptions are scarce online, resources such as academic papers and technical documents can offer more detailed insights into their functionality and applications. Users are encouraged to explore links to relevant studies and articles for comprehensive information. Understanding Bonner spheres is essential for professionals working in neutron dosimetry and related fields.

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...
