Hi,

So it seems. Please check this example below posted in the FLUKA web were 99Mo production in a neutron-bombarded uranium target matches well literature data.

Anyway, if you will be using the prediction for radiation protection, I would advise to use a safety factor (~2).

Many thanks! :)

One question please.
Can I simulate Uranium-235 fission in this way? I mean bombarding it
with thermal neutrons can I get reasonable results?

Thanks!
