Does anyone have a simple fast reactor code?

I am new to openmc and want to make a fast reactor with a hexagonal lattice but don’t know where to start and how to go about it so was wondering if anyone had a simple copy of a code that I could familiarise myself with before building up from it?

I have recently learned and designed a small fast breeder reactor using OpenMC. OpenMC documentation has excellent examples for learning. For designing a fast reactor, you can practice with Modeling a Pin Cell, Post Processing, Pandas Dataframe, Tally Arithmatics, and Modeling Hexagonal Lattice.

Thank you very much…I will check these articles out. My only problem is I might not necessarily understand what things like hexagonal lattice mean or is trying to achieve in code form. But I’ll deffo look at it

Theory and Methodology of OpenMC documentation may help to get a clear idea.

Thanks I’ll look into that
