Two Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) programs, the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) and the International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP) have been identifying existing integral experiment data, evaluating those data, and providing integral benchmark specifications for methods and data validation for nearly two decades. The Russian Federation, IPPE, and the BFS laboratories have made substantial contributions to those two projects. Contributions from the BFS facilities are highlighted in this paper.
