Description

A technical description is given of the results of the IAEA ''Cross Section Processing Code Verification Project.'' This project has been conducted over the last five years in an attempt to improve the reliability of the results produced by cross section processing computer codes. Initial comparison of results received from forty-two participants using thirteen different codes demonstrated that all codes contained one or more problem areas which resulted in large errors in their results. Although this project only addressed nuclear data processing codes it is possible to draw conclusions from the results of this project regarding the reliability of other types of computer codes
