Hello Monica,

This routine samples a neutron source, so you should set SDUM of BEAM to
NEUTRON.
As far as I know, ISOTOPE is only implemented for beta (+ associated
gamma) emission, not for spontaneous fission nor alpha emission.

The activity of your source has to be defined as a normalization factor
as you plot your USRBIN results.

Best regards.
Sébastien.
