Production and Performance of JEFF3.1.2 Nuclear Data Library in ANSWERS Codes

摘要

The latest version of the JEFF library, JEFF-3.1.2, was released in January 2012. This incorporated new evaluations of the hafnium resolved resonance range and the inclusion of gamma production data for 89 fission products (representing 99% of fission product absorption). These data have been processed into a continuous (point) energy nuclear data library for the ANSWERS Monte Carlo code MONK and a multi-group library for the deterministic neutronics code, WIMS. These applications nuclear data libraries have been produced using a combination of the NJOY nuclear data processing code and bespoke processing codes. A summary of the results for the MONK library for a wide range of criticality benchmarks is presented.
