Discussion of integral experiment C/E discrepancies

Creators

  • 1. Argonne Natonal Lab., IL

Description

Calculation-to-experiment discrepancies for several key integral parameters measured in ZPR fast critical assemblies are examined. Discussion includes a brief review of experimental and calculational methods and an estimate of their uncertainties. Comparison of the bias between the calculated and experimental values with their combined estimated uncertainties is used to infer nuclear data deficiencies. Several of these C/E discrepancies indicate probable errors in the ENDF/B-IV nuclear data files. 15 refs
