Is anyone working on or has anyone already built any of the VENUS-2 Mox benchmarks in OpenMC?

I’m not aware of any existing models. If you do end up building one, you might want to consider contributing it to our repository of [benchmark models](https://github.com/mit-crpg/benchmarks).

Thanks, I am working on it in my spare time to become proficient at OpenMC. I will update the group on notable progress.
