This presentation covers how a new sub-thermal neutron transmission capability at RPI LINAC is now in use to help validate TSL evaluations. Additionally, NNL has contributed multiple material evaluations to ENDF/B-VIII.1. Lastly, this presentation covers new methods to improve TSL physics and accuracy are being formulated.
A new sub-thermal neutron transmission capability at RPI LINAC has been used to validate Be (metal). NNL transmission measurements validated NCSU Be and Be+Sd TSLs for ENDF/B-VIII.1 and showed improvements WRT ENDF/B-VII.1 and ENDF/B-VIII.0. Amplitude differences highlighted the importance of sample characterization. Additional measurement is in progress for CY2022. PNDA is being developed as an alternative to critical experiment validation.
