My reply in the post that @paulromano provided above might be useful here. @jerrylizy I think some of the same issues might show up in your model too.

> Hi @YimingZ, A very interesting problem! It took a bit for me to sort out what is going on here. I pulled your model (thanks for providing it!) and pulled it up in the [plotter](https://github.com/openmc-dev/plotter). This allowed me to look at the containing cell definition more clearly. It looked correct to me. But of course when I ran the problem I saw the same issue as you: So I stared at it for a bit and then broke the cell region definition up into 4 cells (one for each quadrant): This helped me…
