.. warning::
|
||||
Currently, collision stopping powers used in the TTB approximation come from
|
||||
the `NIST ESTAR database`_, which provides data for each element calculated
|
||||
using by default the material density at standard temperature and pressure.
|
||||
In OpenMC, stopping powers for compounds are calculated from this elemental
|
||||
data using Bragg's additivity rule. However, this is not a good
|
||||
approximation --- the collision stopping power is a function of certain
|
||||
quantities, such as the mean excitation energy and particularly the density
|
||||
effect correction, that depend on material properties. Data for constituent
|
||||
elements in a compound cannot simply be summed together, but rather these
|
||||
quantities should be calculated for the material. This treatment will be
|
||||
especially poor when the density of a material is different from the
|
||||
densities used in the NIST data.

||||

.. note::
|
||||
Some features related to photon transport are not currently implemented,
|
||||
including:
|
||||
|
||||
* Tallying photon energy deposition.
|
||||
* Properly accounting for energy deposition in coupled n-p calculations.
|
||||
* Generating a photon source from a neutron calculation that can be used
|
||||
for a later fixed source photon calculation.
|
||||
* Photoneutron reactions.
