Tallies in MCNP:
The user can instruct MCNP to make various tallies related to :
particle current particle flux energy deposition.
![Page 3: Tally Specification in MCNP Presented by: A. O. Ezzati Department of Energy Engineering, Sharif University of Technology By: Dr. M. Shahriari](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649d835503460f94a69163/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
MCNP tallies are normalized to be per starting particle except for a few special cases with
criticality sources. Currents can be tallied as a function of direction
across any set of surfaces, surface segments, or
sum of surfaces in the problem. Charge can be tallied for electrons and positrons

MCPLOT Tally Plotting Commands mcnp inp= filename ixrz
MCNP runs the problem specified in filename and then the prompt mcplot appears for MCPLOT commands. Both cross-section data and tallies can be plotted.
mcnp inp= filename ixz is the most common way to plot cross-section data. The
problem cross sections are read in but no transport occurs.
![Page 41: Tally Specification in MCNP Presented by: A. O. Ezzati Department of Energy Engineering, Sharif University of Technology By: Dr. M. Shahriari](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649d835503460f94a69163/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Parameter–setting Commands TALLY n Define tally n as the current tally.
n is the n on the Fn card in the INP file
RESET aa Reset the parameters of command aa to
