Description

Sample reactivity measurements performed at the fast-thermal coupled facilities SEG/Germany and STEK/Netherlands have been re-analyzed using the JNC standard route for reactor calculation JENDL-3.2//SLAROM/CITATION/PERKY. The SEG experiments comprise sample reactivity measurements with the most important stable fission products and structural materials in five reactor configurations with different neutron and adjoint spectra. The shapes of the adjoint spectra have been designed to get high sensitivities to neutron capture or the scattering effect. At the STEK configurations, the neutron spectra had an increasing neutron softness covering a broad energy range. A lot of FP nuclides have been measured. The calculated neutron and adjoint spectra are in good agreement with former results. C/E-values of the central reactivity worth (CRW) of about 90 materials (i.e., FP nuclides, structural materials, and standards) are given for 10 facilities. The C/E-values are compared with results obtained with the competitive European scheme JEF-2.2//ECCO/ERANOS. For the SEG facilities, a crisscross use of JEF-2.2 with the JNC codes has been performed to get additional information about data and codes. (author)
