Monte Carlo analysis of TRX lattices with ENDF/B version 3 data
Creators
Description
Four TRX water-moderated lattices of slightly enriched uranium rods have been reanalyzed with consistent ENDF/B Version 3 data by means of the full-range Monte Carlo program RECAP. The following measured lattice parameters were studied: ratio of epithermal-to-thermal 238U capture, ratio of epithermal-to-thermal 235U fissions, ration of 238U captures to 235U fissions, ratio of 238U fissions to 235U fissions, and multiplication factor. In addition to the base calculations, some studies were done to find sensitivity of the TRX lattice parameters to selected variations of cross section data. Finally, additional experimental evidence is afforded by effective 238U capture integrals for isolated rods. Shielded capture integrals were calculated for 238U metal and oxide rods. These are compared with other measurements
