WARNING: Negative value(s) found on probability table for nuclide Cs136 at 250K

Hello

1 when I run depletion,there is a warning about probability.I use the ‘chain_casl_sfr.xml’.Does it significantly affect burnup results?
2 In addition,I model the cermet fuel include lots of 100 micron UO2 fuel pellets,it cause that i can’t get precise volume but with a error when I run Random volume calculation,because the geometry become complex.Does it also significantly affect burnup results?


(UO2 is in red)
3 Besides,It is hard for me to use ‘diff_burnable_mats’ of operator class in this geometry,so can i set several material with the same component,then i give them for different assembly to differentiate materials that reappear in multiple places.
Thank you very much!Good luck to all. :slightly_smiling_face:

The first question was answered here:

It’s important for OpenMC to know the correct volume of burnable materials for a depletion problem. If the volume is wrong, your results will be wrong too. Using a stochastic volume calculation seems like a good approach for this – what error are you seeing when you try running the stochastic volume calculation?

there is no error,but the volume value with a deviation may cause untrue burnup result.
one example as follow:


in about 100 days,there seems a upcurve,my fuel is 94 wt% 235U for fast spectrum reactor.
I use all nuclides in ‘chain_casl_sfr.xml’.I can’t understand why there is peak in 100 days,there is only 6wt% 238U which can be used for breeding.

Best wishes for you,Paul.
