Description

As a benchmark test of JENDL-4.0/HE released in 2015, we have analyzed the concrete and iron shielding experiments with the quasi mono-energetic 40 and 65 MeV neutron sources at TIARA in JAEA by using MCNP5 and ACE files processed from JENDL-4.0/HE with NJOY-2012. As a result, it was found out that the calculation results with JENDL-4.0/HE agreed with the measured ones in the concrete experiment well, while they underestimated the measured ones in the iron experiment with 65 MeV neutrons more for the thicker assemblies. We have examined the 56Fe data of JENDL-4.0/HE in detail and it is suggested that the larger non-elastic scattering cross sections of 56Fe has caused the underestimation in the calculation with JENDL-4.0/HE for the iron experiment with 65 MeV neutrons.
