This meeting is a collaboration meeting of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG), a collaboration including members from various DOE NNSA and non-NNSA laboratories as well as several university groups that support these laboratory missions. The focus of this meeting will be preparations for the next major release of the ENDF/B nuclear data library. The ENDF/B library is the main neutronics library used in various US neutronics codes such as MCNP and SCALE for advance reactor work, safeguards, stockpile stewardship, etc.
The CIELO collaboration has studied neutron cross sections on nuclides that significantly impact criticality in nuclear technologies - 16O, 56Fe, 235;8U and 239Pu - with the aim of improving the accuracy of the data and resolving previous discrepancies in our understanding. This multi-laboratory pilot project, coordinated via the OECD/NEA Working Party on Evaluation Cooperation (WPEC) Subgroup 40 with support also from the IAEA, has motivated experimental and theoretical work and led to suites of new evaluated libraries that accurately reflect measured data and also perform well in integral simulations of criticality.
