MCNP analysis of the Livermore pulsed spheres with ENDF/B-VI

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10102440
Twenty-five Livermore pulsed sphere experiments have been modeled with the MCNP4A code using ENDF/B-VI cross sections processed by the NJOY nuclear data processing system. These calculations have been compared to an earlier study using ENDF/B-V data using the MCNP4 code. These are the first MCNP4A benchmarks, the first ENDF/B-VI benchmarks with MCNP, and the first analysis of these NJOY-processed data. In general, these results validate the MCNP code, demonstrate that ENDF/B-VI and ENDF/B-V generally agree, and in some cases show that ENDF/B-VI gives better results than ENDF/B-V.
