Revised transport cross-sections for the WIMS library
Description
WIMS transport cross-sections above 4 eV are formed by a column-sum correction in which an assumed current spectrum is used to weight the P1 scattering data for a given isotope. Revised weighting spectra lead to improved transport cross-sections for the principal moderators: the effect on calculations of k-infinity is small but leakage calculations, for the homogenised cell, are now in close agreement with corresponding B1 calculations using explicit P1 data. Energy condensation of the B0 (transport corrected) equations appears to be more valid than the procedure used to condense the B1 equations. (author)
