Comparison of detector counts due to External Sources using MCNP & OpenMC (Subcritical system)

Dear All,

In my simulations estimating count rates due to external sources at various subcritical levels, I have observed that the discrepancy between the MCNP and OpenMC simulated count rates increases as keffk_{\text{eff}}keff​ approaches 1. This difference becomes particularly significant when keffk_{\text{eff}}keff​ exceeds 0.95.

Could someone kindly review the results and provide clarification on the cause of this variation? I would greatly appreciate your support in resolving this issue.

With thanks & best regards,
L Thilagam
