Resonance Self-Shielding: Why it is so Important

This paper is one of a series that I am writing to document my 58 years of experience with ENDF and Neutron Transport calculations, beginning when I worked at the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), from 1967 to 1972. During those years I was the head of the computer unit of NNDC, assigned to develop computer codes to pre-process, view and test ENDF/B data. Since then, I have continued to support the ENDF effort without any official position or monetary compensation, because I realized how important accurate nuclear data is for use in use in our Engineering applications. It is so important to realize that regardless of how accurate or even perfect our application codes may be to transport particles, without accurate nuclear data we are in a “Garbage In = Garbage Out” situation.
