Integral Experiments Analysis for Validation and Improvement of Minor Actinide Data for Transmutation Needs

This paper presents the reanalysis of the PROFIL and TRAPU irradiation experiments, performed at the French fast reactor PHENIX, using new detailed information and a sophisticated calculational strategy. The analysis used the cross-section data coming from five different data files: JEF2.2, JEF3.0,...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the reanalysis of the PROFIL and TRAPU irradiation experiments, performed at the French fast reactor PHENIX, using new detailed information and a sophisticated calculational strategy. The analysis used the cross-section data coming from five different data files: JEF2.2, JEF3.0, ENDF/B-V, ENDF/B-VI, and a preliminary version of ENDF/B-VII. The observed discrepancies between calculations and experiments have been subsequently used for a four energy band preliminary adjustment that has indicated trends for future improvements of minor actinide cross sections.
