Thanks for the quick response Alberto,
I tried using the lambias card with a reduction factor of 0.001 but still had nothing, so I then used 1.E-6 which gave some results (of the order 1.E-11 fissions per beam particle). Is this number realistic?
Also, would a BXDRAW routine to look at flux across a region would still be usable in the presence of LAMBIAS?

Subject: Re: [fluka-discuss]: Fissions in very thin target
A very similar question has been submitted recently. See:
http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/6774.html
See the answer to that question. In short: you need a LAM-BIAS
command to enhance the probability of a neutron interacting in
such a thin layer.
