Can't Calculate Residual Dose Rate, It always ZERO, Need Help!

many thanks! I was able to use it properly using your advice.

one more question about residual dose.

If I have for example 100pC charge per second and set it in IRRPROFI
(6.5*10^8) are this results for that charge already in units pSv/h?
I mean what is a unit of the residual (USERBIN) Eq. DOSE given by fluka?
is it pSv/hour ?

    what role does play card USERWEIG? when should I use it and with what
options?

I want to ask question about PHOTONUC card option WHAT(1).
If I set What(1) 1, or 2 results are the same and I think that it is
because of my electron beam initial energy is about 0.02Gev ie. there is
no so high energy particles in order to activate it.

My question is If I set WHAT(1) to 1/On, and I have low energy beam will
results be wrong? I mean activating photonuclear interactions ONLY (as
it said in fluka input options E > 0.7 Gev ) at higher energy ranges
calculations will miss something for 0.02Gev electron beam which is
mush less than 0.7 Gev.
