Dear Qi
in your input, photonuclear reactions are activated in material 17 and 26
(Iodine). However, if I understand correctly, the material of the target
is not Iodine, it is LLFP, material 27.
The same for the LAM-BIAS card.
For yor convenience, you can use directly material names in all card, and
avoid assigning numbers. Numbers will be assigned automatically and
printed out in the manual.
Following your mail, we will improve the output file by adding the
information about activation of photonuclear reactions, which is presently
missing
Regards
Paola
