High-energy nuclear data les: From ENDF-6 to NJOY to MCNP
نویسنده
چکیده
The structure of a 150 MeV neutron data le is outlined. Emphasis is put on the possibility to process a high-energy le with NJOY into an MCNPlibrary. Examples of parts of such a le are given as illustration. Furthermore, we have processed some existing data libraries and report on the encountered di culties. Accordingly, we give recommendations for the format to be used for evaluated neutron data les for intermediate energy applications. Typeset using REVTEX

Methods for Processing ENDF/B-VII with NJOY
The NJOY Nuclear Data Processing System is widely used to convert evaluations in the Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) format into forms useful for practical applications such as fission and fusion reactor analysis, stockpile stewardship calculations, criticality safety, radiation shielding, nuclear waste management, nuclear medicine procedures, and more. This paper provides a description of ...
متن کاملUWFDM-1361 Benchmarking FENDL-2.1 with Impact of ENDF/B-VII.0 Release on Nuclear Heating and Damage
MCNP calculations for a calculational benchmark representative of an early ITER design were carried out to investigate the impact of ENDF/B-VII.0 release on FENDL-2.1. The results presented in this work clearly show that the previously observed differences in nuclear heating and radiation damage are removed when the correctly processed ENDF/BVII.0 data are used. Differences in all nuclear param...
متن کاملFast Neutron Scattering Measurements with Lead
Fast neutron scattering from natural lead was measured at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI) Gaerttner Linear Accelerator Center (LINAC). This measurement was performed using eight detectors positioned at different solid angles, with neutron events recorded in time of flight. This experiment used liquid scintillator EJ301 detectors and a tantalum photo-neutron target, which were optim...
متن کاملRequirements for an Evaluated Nuclear Data File for Accelerator-based Transmutation
The importance of intermediate-energy nuclear data les as part of a global calculation scheme for accelerator-based transmutation of radioactive waste systems for instance with an accelerator-driven subcritical reactor is discussed. A proposal for three intermediate-energy data libraries for incident neutrons and protons is presented:-a data library from 0 to about 100 MeV rst priority,-a refer...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are considering the possibility of using the Low Energy Demonstration Accelerator, constructed at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center for the Accelerator Production of Tritium Project, as a neutron source. Evaluated nuclear data are needed for the p+ 7 Li reaction, to predict neutron production from thin and thick lithium targets. In this paper we des...
