Description

The neutron emission spectra from 238U spheres pulsed with 14-MeV neutrons have been measured from the source energy down to 10 keV and have been compared with calculations employing ENDF/B-IV and ENDL cross sections. The low energy spectra (10 keV to 1 MeV) are best described using ENDF/B-IV cross sections while the high energy spectra (2 MeV to 15 MeV) are best described using ENDL cross sections. It is concluded that use of ENDL cross sections should yield the best estimate of tritium breeding and ENDF/B-IV that of Pu breeding in a CTR fusion-fission blanket
