Description
The latest pre-release version of ENDF/B-VII ('ENDF/B-VII β-2') was made available for testing in April 2006. Calculations were performed for the 31 cases in the MCNP Criticality Validation Suite for ENDF/B-VII β-2, its predecessors ENDF/B-VII β-1 and ENDF/B-VI, and JENDL-3.3. Overall, β-2 produces results similar to β-1, but it produces substantially improved results relative to ENDF/B-VI and JENDL-3.3. However, calculations for some additional benchmarks indicate that further improvements still are needed in certain areas. (authors)
