Keff values vs expect values

Hi，here is my python script for modeling the SNAP-10A core with openmc0.13.0 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 library，but I get a strange keff value of 0.02， the expect keff should be about 1.00，where is the problem？

Thanks！

Hi @zhaozelong,

I pulled down the model and gave it a try. When I ran OpenMc with the -g flag (openmc -g), it indicated that cells 100 and 1 were overlapping. You’ll want to resolve that issue in the geometry definition and try again.

Hope this helps,

That’s a very helpful message，I will try to modified and fixed it. Besides， I add the MCNP input and output file，the results of MCNP is 1.0052. Hope this is helpful.
