    Did you try to score the photon fluence during irradiation, without decay ?
    To answer your question : decay should work with your entries.
    But, I have not the sufficient knowledge to tell you if what you obtain
    is normal or not, maybe some member of the FLUKA team will be able to
    answer.
    I wonder if its relevant to score fluence in a vaccum region... I don't
    know. The only region which is able to produce residual nuclei which
    will decay is the lead sphere. The fluence that you're trying to score
    comes from those interactions with lead, right ? Maybe you could use
    some USRBDX to check what happens to the boundaries... sorry I don't
    really help you there...
    Regards.
    Sebastien
